The method of ship anchoring varies with different waters, weather conditions, etc. There are usually the following five anchoring methods:
Anchor winch is used to drop and retract anchors, and is usually installed on the main deck of the fore and stern part of the ship.
Anchor gypsy refers to the chain handling wheel. It is used to engage chains.
At present, the anchor winches for seagoing vessels are mainly electric windlass and electro-hydraulic anchor winch (also known as hydraulic windlass).
The electric anchor winch for small boats utilizes electric motor which will drive the drum to rotate after multi-stage deceleration is achieved by large and small gears in the reduction gearbox. Due to a high requirement for reduction ratio, the speed reduction mechanism is relatively large.
The uses of a marine anchor winch typically fall in small to medium-sized boats and ships. The diameter is anchor chain is generally in a range of 16 to 93mm.
Working principle: when used for dropping or lowering an anchor, the clutch will be disengaged. The main shaft and drum rotate and the chain wheel doesn’t. However, when used to weigh anchor, the clutch will be closed. And the rope drum and chain wheel rotate simultaneously. The band brake is designed to brake the chain wheel in order to control the chain speed.
Note: if the water depth exceeds 25m, the anchor should be sent to about 10m from the seabed and then free falls. When the water depth is more than 40m, the anchor should be directly sent to the seabed, and then the chain will be slowly loosened with the brake.
Our winches have been assembled and debugged before leaving the factory, so it is very easy and quick to install the winch.
The installation of the windlass electric anchor winch should ensure that the three points (chain cylinder, chain brake and chain wheel) drawn by the chain are in a line.
