Marine Electric Mooring Anchor Windlass

An electric mooring anchor windlass is a piece of marine equipment powered by an electric motor used for deploying and retrieving anchors on boats and ships. It's an essential component for vessel anchoring operations. It typically contains one or two drums for mooring on the shaft.

The windlass operates by using an electric motor to drive the drum and gypsy. In anchoring, the windlass lowers the anchor by releasing the chain through the gypsy. When raising the anchor, the motor turns in the opposite direction, pulling the chain back up and stowing the anchor securely. For mooring, the windlass pulls in the mooring lines, adjusting their tension to keep the ship securely docked.

Overview

The electric mooring anchor windlass is a main deck machinery on ships. It consists of a gearbox, an electric motor, chain wheel, drum, brake and clutch. The electric mooring anchor windlass utilizes an electric motor providing the necessary force to control the anchor and anchor chains, making the anchoring process more efficient and less labor-intensive compared to manual methods. The drum that is used to store a length of rope or cable on the shaft enables the anchor windlass to moor and lift heavy objects. It can be operated by a local control or a remote control. Electric mooring anchor windlasses offer several advantages over manual windlasses, including increased speed, high efficiency, and easy operation. It is an essential equipment for vessels of various sizes, providing reliable anchoring and mooring functions in a wide range of maritime conditions.
