Buyer question and answer

Windlass, the windlass are used to receive, anchor and anchor chains. The windlass are usually installed on the main deck of the ship's first raft for anchoring and anchoring the cable.

Windlss can be divided into human-powered windlass, electric anchoring machine, electro-hydraulic anchoring machine and steam anchoring machine according to different powers.

At present, the anchoring machine for sea-going vessels is mainly composed of electro-hydraulic anchoring machine and electric anchoring machine. On the early construction of the tanker, it was fireproof and explosion-proof, and there was also a steam anchor machine. In order to control the operation of the windlass, the power anchoring machine is equipped with a master controller for commutation operation and multi-step shift control.

Windlass is divided into two types: horizontal anchoring machine and vertical anchoring machine according to the arrangement. Horizontal transporters are widely used in modern transport vessels, and their main shafts are horizontally arranged. In order to tie, untie the cable and adjust the force of the cable, modern ships often use an anchor-mooring combination machine, which combines the anchoring machine and the mooring winch. In addition to the auxiliary reel at the end of the main shaft, a mooring winch (main reel) is provided on the main shaft of the windlass. Like the sprocket, it is driven by the main shaft and controlled by independent clutches and brakes. Close the clutch to twist or loosen the cable. After the cable is tightened, the brake is braked to maintain the force of the cable without being pulled onto the bollard.
