2 The stress of windlass parts must be less than the elasticity limit of the material used and comply with the following 3 conditions:
(1) Under the working load of 6.1.5, the stress of any torque transmitting component shall not exceed 40% of the yield limit of the material;
(2) when the prime mover acts with maximum set torque, the stress of the affected parts is not to exceed 95% of the yield limit of the material. When the prime mover is an electric motor, the maximum torque value should be based on the maximum pull-out torque in the motor torque-speed characteristic curve. When the prime mover is a hydraulic motor, the maximum torque value is based on the output torque of the hydraulic motor when the hydraulic system safety valve takes off the setting value. For other types of windlasses driven by the prime mover, the maximum output torque value in the torque output characteristics of the prime mover shall prevail.;
(3) with the action of the withstand load, the stress of the affected parts is not to exceed 95% of the yield limit of the material.
3 The strength of brakes is to comply with the following requirements:
(1) For band type brakes, the pull of tight side and loose side of the brake band are to be calculated according to the following Euler formula:
T = t · eμα
where: pull of tight side of the band: T = P × eμα/(eμα– 1)
pull of loose side of the band: t = P/(eμα– 1)
circular brake force: P = FsuptDL/D
where: Fsupt – withstand load;
DL —— working diameter of cable lifter;
D —— diameter of brake boss;
μ —— friction coefficient of brake band;
α —— brake band contact wrap angle;
e —— base of natural logarithm.
(2) The maximum specific pressure of the brake band is to be calculated according to the pull of the tight side of the band, and the result is to be less than the permissible specific pressure of the material of the brake band.
(3) For other types of brakes, the strength is to be checked by recognized calculation methods.
(4) The stress of parts under force such as steel brake band, tight side pin shaft, tight side pull rod, loose side pin shaft and brake screw is to comply with the requirements of 2.6.2(4) of this Chapter.
4 The strength of bolts securing the seating is to comply with the following requirements:
(1) The forces acting on the bolts and thrust plates securing the windlass to the deck are to be calculated.
(2) The axial forces and combined shear forces of the bolt group (or bolts) are to be calculated according to the formula given in 3.2.5.5 and 3.2.5.6 of PART TWO of CCS Rules for Classification of Sea-going Steel Ships.
(3) The safety factor corresponding to bolt strength is not to be less than 2.0.
