Marine Electric Anchor Windlass
Application
A Marine Electric Anchor Windlass is an electrically powered system used to hoist and lower the anchor of a ship or boat. It is a key component of the vessel's anchoring system and is typically located on the bow or stern of the vessel. The electric motor powers a gearbox that drives the chain wheel or gypsy, which in turn hauls in or pays out the anchor chain. The electric windlass can be controlled remotely from the bridge or manually from the windlass itself. They can handle larger vessels and heavier anchors with ease, and their electric motors provide consistent power for smooth operation. However, they may require additional power sources and backup systems in case of electrical failure. Proper maintenance and regular inspection are crucial to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the Marine Electric Anchor Windlass.
According to the driven type, it can be divided into electric anchor windlass, hydraulic anchor windlass and diesel engine anchor windlass. According to the application and working condition, marine electric anchor windlass can be made from cast steel, stainless steel. According to the drum quantity, there are mainly three types, electric single gypsy windlass, electric double gypsy windlass and electric combined windlass.
From the design stage to dispatch, our internal quality assurance systems fully comply with marine class standard. In addition, third- party surveyors will check the process of design and fabricating to ensure the marine winch complies with all relevant specifications.

Maintenance advice:
★ The mechanical part of the machine should work under good lubrication conditions. The machine should be idling for a moment after each refueling to allow the grease to evenly coat the running surface.
★ Refueling parts are butter nozzle, transmission rod, gear, brake lever, etc.
★ The machine body and fixing bolts should be checked frequently for completeness and tightness. The brakes of the machine should be checked regularly to prevent grease from adhering to the braking surface. When the brake belt rivets rub against the brake hub, the brake belt should be replaced in time.
★ What is the condition of the limit bolts (adjustment bolts) of the windlass brake belt? Is it rusted? Special attention should be paid to the screw teeth under the brake lever, that is, after the brake is tightened, check the remaining screw teeth under the brake lever. According to previous experience, there are at least 10 teeth to be assured. The limit bolt is between the brake lever and the brake band, which can be used to adjust the height of the brake lever. The thread of the limit screw is fine. Open the brake lever and slowly adjust the limit bolt until the thread under the brake screw meets the requirements. This bolt should be properly buttered, wrapped in tarpaulin, and checked at least every three months.
