Hydraulic Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass
A hydraulic double gypsy anchor windlass is a piece of equipment used for anchoring a ship. It is usually driven by a hydraulic system with a double-chain wheel design to effectively control and operate the anchor chain on board. Hydraulic windlasses are designed to withstand harsh marine environments, including saltwater corrosion. It consists of the double chain wheel/gypsy/sprocket, hydraulic motor, gearbox, control system, clutch and brake system, hydraulic pump station, etc.
1. Powerful Performance, efficiency
2. Hand proportional valve, step-less speed
3. Made from corrosion-resistant materials
4. Overload protection, emergency stop functions
5. Clutch & brake: manual or hydraulic operated
Overview
Hydraulic Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass is an important machine used on seagoing vessels for lifting and returning heavy anchors to and from the seabed, it is mainly installed on the main deck of ships.
The hydraulic windlass is powered by a hydraulic system, allowing for smooth operation and handling of heavy loads without straining the operator. The hydraulic power unit(HPU, also called hydraulic pump station) can also power other equipment if needed, which means a few pieces of equipment can share the same power unit to reduce cost, such as to power other winches, shark jaw etc together. This way is already very popular use by many customers. Customers just need to make sure all equipment's total power is less than HPU power capacity. Hydraulic systems are often preferred for larger vessels due to their efficiency and power, allowing for smooth operation and handling.
The double gypsy is designed to accommodate two chains. This allows the windlass to be versatile, enabling it to handle different anchoring systems. Besides, proper installation and regular maintenance are essential for its better performance and safety. The hydraulic system requires periodic inspection, oil replenishment, and component lubrication to prevent malfunctions and ensure smooth operation.
