Marine electric combined windlass consists of a mooring drum, gypsy wheel, warping head, clutch, brake and control system, and an electric motor with a gearbox. The exceptional performance of marine combined windlass is built upon the efficient synergy of three core systems: the powerful drive system, the precisely controlled clutch and brake system, and the control system.

The Powerful Drive System: The Heart of Efficiency and Endurance

We offer two proven power solutions to suit different vessel requirements:

• Electric Drive: Utilizes marine-grade high-torque motors, characterized by quick starting, responsive performance, simple maintenance, and low noise. With high insulation and protection ratings, and built-in thermal protection, it is a reliable choice for small to medium-sized vessels.

• Hydraulic Drive: Equipped with high-performance axial piston hydraulic motors, enabling stepless and smooth speed variation. Compact in design with high power density, it delivers robust pulling force, making it particularly suitable for large commercial vessels where space is limited but pulling power demands are high.

The drive core employs a planetary gear reduction mechanism with a transmission efficiency of >95%. It offers outstanding advantages including a compact structure, even load distribution, and long service life.

The Integrated Clutch and Brake System: The Secure and Reliable Control Core

This system is key to realizing the "combined" function, ensuring that anchor and winch operations can be performed independently or simultaneously, while providing fail-safe protection.

Clutch Mechanism: A multi-disc friction clutch is used. Operation via a manual or hydraulic control lever allows intuitive engagement and disengagement of power between the anchor chain wheel and the mooring winch.

Dual-Redundant Brake System:

• Main Mechanical Brake (Anchor Chain Wheel): Features a fail-safe design. It is normally closed and locked, releasing only when power is activated. Even in the event of a complete power or hydraulic failure, it automatically locks the anchor chain securely to prevent vessel drift.

• Auxiliary Brake (Mooring Winch/Band Brake): Used to control the payout speed of the mooring line or provide additional holding force. It allows for precise adjustment via a handwheel.

Safety Interlock: The control system features an interlock logic that prevents the drive motor from being forcibly started if the brake is not fully released, thereby avoiding equipment damage.

The Control System: The Convenient and Precise Command Center

• Flexible Operation: Supports local control and remote control.

• Comprehensive Protection: Integrated load sensing and overload protection; automatic alarm when approaching limits; automatic stop and brake when reaching the limit to ensure safety.
