Marine electric capstans are specifically designed for use on ships. The electric capstan consists of an electric motor, a gearbox, and a capstan head. The electric capstan uses an electric motor as the power source to drive the rotating shaft of the winch through electricity, thereby retracting and releasing ropes or cables. This type of winch is usually suitable for small to medium-sized ships, and its advantage is relatively simple operation. The design and characteristics of marine electric capstans usually need to consider harsh conditions in the ship's environment, such as seawater corrosion, high humidity, strong winds and waves, etc.

characteristic

Corrosion resistance: Due to the corrosiveness of seawater, marine electric capstans typically use anti-corrosion materials or surface treatments to ensure long-term reliable operation.

Waterproof design: Marine electric capstans usually have good waterproof performance to cope with dampness and seawater immersion in the ship's environment.

Good durability: Marine electric capstans need to have sufficient durability to withstand the bumps and vibrations of the ship during navigation, as well as changes in working load.

Adapting to different tasks: Marine electric capstans may need to adapt to different tasks, such as mooring, anchoring, lifting and lowering cargo, adjusting ship position, etc., and may therefore have multiple functions and working modes.

Overall, marine electric capstans are one of the important mechanical equipment on ships, providing necessary power and control for ship operations, and helping to improve the efficiency and safety of ship operations.
