Marine Electric Single Chain Wheel Anchor Windlass

An electric single chain wheel anchor windlass is a piece of equipment commonly found on boats and ships. It's a mechanism designed to raise and lower the anchor using an electric motor. It consists of an electric motor, gearbox, one chain wheel, brake and clutch. It is usually popular on small and medium ships for its small volume and is suitable for anchor chains of 12.5mm--78mm.

The marine anchor windlass is exposed to sea water and harsh environment all year round, so its regular maintenance is essential. Maintenance includes lubrication of moving parts, checking for wear on anchor chains and brakes, and making sure electrical systems are working properly.
