Main Technical Parameters

Anchor Windlass + Engine Selection

Recommended Engine Power

For a 38mm anchor chain windlass:

Working Load: approx. 42–47 kN

Recommended Engine Power: 18–30 kW

Selection Logic

Grade 2 chain → lower power requirement

Grade 3 chain → higher load, recommend higher power engine

Continuous operation → increase power margin

Engineering Note

The final engine configuration should be selected based on classification society rules and actual working conditions.

Structure & Components

Structure & Components: Diesel engine | Worm gearbox | Gypsy wheel (for 38 mm chain) | Brake & clutch system | Base frame | Warping head (optional) | Mooring drum (optional)

How It Works

The diesel engine drives the windlass through a gearbox system.

The gypsy wheel engages the 38mm anchor chain to control anchoring and lifting operations, while the brake ensures safety.
