The windlass is mainly composed of base, support, anchor sprocket, brake, sprocket, gearbox, electronic control system (except manual windlass), etc. The electric windlass has an electric motor, and the hydraulic windlass has a hydraulic pump station.
The main technical indicators of the windlass include the diameter of the anchor chain, the nominal speed of the anchor, the rated load, the supporting load, several speeds, and the electric system. The installation of the windlass on the ship should ensure that the wrap angle between the anchor chain and the sprocket is 117-120°
A mooring winch is a type of winch.
