Chain wheel (slip) – intended for the maneuvering anchor with a bridge with or without a bridge (DIN 766) consisting of a compact welded construction, it can be operated with a coupling with crabs or, in the case of diesel winches, with friction couplings.
Anchor drum – intended for anchoring using steel cable. In this case it is necessary to keep at least three safety turns. Tearing the anchor will be done on the first layer, so it is very important to determine the correct length of the cable.
End drum –is intended for maneuvering with the help of nylon rope, for the safe performance of the maneuvering operation being necessary at least three turns wound on the drum.
Belt brakes – are provided with metal strips lined with friction-resistant ferrule. They can be with vertical clamping rod, but there are also situations where there is not enough space, so you can use banded brakes with horizontal rod; As an option, these brakes can also be equipped with a pneumatic cylinder for remote control from the wheelhouse, a system designed for emergency release of the brakes.
Deck mounting system – can be with supports with the base plate welded on the deck or with supports with the sole for assembling the winch with screws on the deck. The winches can also be mounted on the pedestal, for easy transport and mounting on the deck.
Defroster – this is an option for chain wheel winches, to avoid chain locking.
Drive motor – can be electric, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic and DIESEL. In the case of electric actuation, marine electric motors with brake with protection degree IP56 are used (TENV – without fan, with natural cooling). They are designed so that for two minutes it can work in the overload required to pull the anchor. If the winches are intended to be mounted on ships carrying explosives the engines may be anti-ex. The electric motors used for these winches can be one, two or three speed. In the case of hydraulic motors, the speed is adjusted by its drive system.
Cable winding system – intended for maneuvering winches with high storage capacity where a correct placement of the turns on the drum is required. Emergency manual actuation – is a manual actuation system with lever and ratchet for raising the anchor in case the power supply system fails.
Ratchet system – designed for maneuvering winches if you want to be treated with a static force greater than the holding force of the belt brake. The system consists of a ratchet fixed on the deck where the ratchet wheel is fixed on one of the walls of the drum.
The winches can be certified by most first class naval classification companies: GL, BV, LRS, DNV, ABS, RNR, etc.
