The anchor machine shall be able to work continuously for 30min under rated pulling force and rated speed, and shall be able to work continuously for 2min under overload pulling force of not less than 1.5 times rated pulling force.
Overview
The diesel anchor windlass consists of a diesel engine, reduction gearbox, sprocket, brake and clutch. It gains its power from a diesel engine which is independent from the electric system on ships. This provides a reliable and independent power source for handling the anchor, which is crucial for maritime operations, especially on larger vessels.
