Diesel Engine Single Gypsy Windlass

Diesel Engine Single Gypsy Windlass

Application

A diesel engine single gypsy anchor windlass is a type of anchor windlass that is powered by a diesel engine and features a single gypsy (a rotating drum that is used to haul in and pay out the anchor chain). This type of windlass is commonly used on medium to large vessels where a high level of anchoring power is required. The diesel engine provides the power needed to operate the windlass, while the single gypsy is used to manage the anchor chain. Diesel engine single gypsy anchor windlasses are available in a range of sizes and capacities to meet the needs of different types of vessels. They are typically constructed of high-strength materials such as stainless steel or aluminum to withstand the harsh marine environment and provide reliable performance over time.

Diesel Engine Single Gypsy Windlass Structure

We not only provide customers with high-quality products, but also provide complete system solutions and added services for specific customers. Therefore, There are  high competitiveness.

Configuration options

Part Name	Type/Material	Advantages/Disadvantages
Gypsy Wheel	Q345D	It has good comprehensive mechanical properties, good weldability, cold and hot workability and corrosion resistance, and has good low temperature toughness (high strength, good welding performance).
Reduction Gearbox	Domestic second-tier brands	Poor quality and short service life.
	Domestic first-line brand	Cost-effective and long service life.
	*Homemade (recommended)）	Good quality, high cost.
Diesel Engine Type	Weichai, Changchai, Yuchai and Jingjiang brand	Large torque in the low and medium speed range, continuous output and strong power Minimum fuel consumption rate of 200g/kW·h, economical and fuel-efficient Gear chamber cover, cylinder head cover, closed flywheel housing noise reduction design to reduce noise (low noise) Good quality, cost-effective, long service life.
	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.
	YANMAR	Good quality, high cost, long delivery time.
Pedestal	Q235-B	Suitable for products with small loads.
	Q345-B	High strength and good welding performance.

Due to the fierce market competition, the phenomenon of low quality of other winch suppliers is frequent. What is the difference between us and other low-quality suppliers?

The specific differences are as follows:

Part name	Other low quality suppliers	Result	Our factory	Consequence
Gypsy Wheel	Cast iron	Cast iron has good casting performance, but when the carbon content of cast iron is relatively high, its performance is relatively brittle, and its tensile performance is relatively poor; it is easy to corrode and wear quickly, which is not conducive to load.	Q345D	The Q345D steel plate is preheated before welding to prevent the occurrence of cold cracks. And Q345D has good cold and hot working properties and corrosion resistance, and has good low temperature toughness. Conducive to load, slow wear.
Reduction Gearbox	Domestic second-tier brands	Poor quality and short service life.	Homemade or domestic first-line brands	Wear-resistant, more matching with the structure of the windlass, and better performance. Good quality and cost-effective.
Diesel Engine Type	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.	Weichai, Changchai, Yuchai and Jingjiang brand	Large torque in the low and medium speed range, continuous output and strong power Minimum fuel consumption rate of 200g/kW·h, economical and fuel-efficient Gear chamber cover, cylinder head cover, closed flywheel housing noise reduction design to reduce noise (low noise) Good quality, cost-effective, long service life.
Pedestal	Q235-B	Low strength, suitable for products with small overload; Used for heavy loads winches, wear out quickly and break easily.	Q345-B	Higher strength, slower wear, not easy to break, suitable for both small and large load winches.

Maintenance advice:

★ The mechanical part of the machine should work under good lubrication conditions. The machine should be idling for a moment after each refueling to allow the grease to evenly coat the running surface.

★ Refueling parts are butter nozzle, transmission rod, gear, brake lever, etc.

★ The machine body and fixing bolts should be checked frequently for completeness and tightness. The brakes of the machine should be checked regularly to prevent grease from adhering to the braking surface. When the brake belt rivets rub against the brake hub, the brake belt should be replaced in time.

★ What is the condition of the limit bolts (adjustment bolts) of the windlass brake belt? Is it rusted? Special attention should be paid to the screw teeth under the brake lever, that is, after the brake is tightened, check the remaining screw teeth under the brake lever. According to previous experience, there are at least 10 teeth to be assured. The limit bolt is between the brake lever and the brake band, which can be used to adjust the height of the brake lever. The thread of the limit screw is fine. Open the brake lever and slowly adjust the limit bolt until the thread under the brake screw meets the requirements. This bolt should be properly buttered, wrapped in tarpaulin, and checked at least every three months.
