Windlass and mooring winches are essential marine deck machinery used for anchoring and mooring operations. The windlass handles anchor chains and ropes, while mooring winches manage ropes to secure vessels to docks or buoys. Both ensure safe and efficient vessel positioning during maritime activities.

Windlass and Mooring Winch Specifications:

Size: Typically ranges from 12 kN to 3000 kN pulling capacity.

Grade: High-tensile steel (Grade 80 or higher) for components like drums, gears, and shafts.

Viscosity: Hydraulic systems use ISO VG 32 to VG 68 hydraulic oil.

Buoyancy: Not applicable for winches; designed for deck-mounted or fixed installations.

Material: Construction includes carbon steel, stainless steel (316L), and galvanized components for corrosion resistance.

Mooring Winches Specifications:

Size: Capacities from 50 kN to 5000 kN, with drum sizes up to 2 meters in diameter.

Grade: High-grade alloy steel (Grade 100 or higher) for critical load-bearing parts.

Viscosity: Hydraulic systems use ISO VG 46 to VG 100, depending on operating conditions.

Buoyancy: Not applicable; designed for stationary use on vessels or docks.

Material: High-strength steel, synthetic ropes (HMPE, polyester), and corrosion-resistant coatings.
