- the damper 15A or 15B cannot release the heat to circumference, and accordingly a braking performance of the damper 15A or 15B deteriorates.
- the swinging motion reducing apparatus body 10 may be damaged. According to the present embodiment, since the swinging motion reducing apparatus is stopped in the case of a high atmosphere temperature, the damage of the swinging motion reducing apparatus body 10 can be prevented.
- the bimetal switches 41A and 41B are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the dampers 15A and 15B, the swinging motion reducing apparatus can be easily assembled. Meanwhile, the bimetal switches 41A and 41B may be arranged in the dampers 15A and 15B, respectively.
- the swinging motion reducing apparatus for a ship according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
- the swinging motion reducing apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention is configured by replacing the safety unit 40 in the first embodiment with a safety unit 50.
- the safety unit 50 includes temperature sensors 51A and 51B such as a thermocouple or a thermistor, and a determining section 52.

- the determining section 52 determines whether or not the temperatures indicated by the signals sent from the temperature sensors 51A and 51B are higher than a predetermined temperature. When both of the signal sent from the temperature sensor 51A and the signal sent from the temperature sensor 51B indicate a temperature lower than the predetermined temperature, the determining section 52 turns the connection between the CM terminal 23 and the X1 terminal 24 to be in the ON state.
- the determining section 52 turns the connection between the CM terminal 23 and the X1 terminal 24 to be in the OFF state. Accordingly, when at least one of the dampers 15A and 15B exceeds the predetermined temperature, the safety unit 50 stops the supply of the drive power to the motor 13.
- the temperature sensors 51A and 51B are arranged on the outer sides of the dampers 15A and 15B, the swinging motion reducing apparatus can be easily assembled. Meanwhile, the temperature sensors 51A and 51B may be arranged in the dampers 15A and 15B, respectively.
