Electric Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass

Electric Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass

Application

An electric double gypsy anchor windlass is a type of marine windlass that is designed to handle two chains or ropes simultaneously. It is commonly used on larger vessels where two anchors are deployed for additional security, such as in areas with strong currents or high winds. The double gypsy windlass typically consists of two horizontal gypsies, each with its own chain or rope drum, driven by an electric motor. The gypsies are arranged parallel to each other on a common shaft, and they can be operated independently or simultaneously.
When the windlass is in operation, the chain or rope is drawn into the gypsy and wound around the drum, allowing the anchor to be raised or lowered as required. The electric motor provides the power to drive the gypsy, and it is typically controlled by a remote control system located on the bridge or deck of the vessel. According to the arrangement, there are single gypsy wheel windlass, double gypsy wheels windlass and combined windlass. It can be equipped with warping head.

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).
Warping head	ZG270-500	Medium carbon cast steel has certain toughness and plasticity, high strength and hardness, good machinability, acceptable weldability, and poor casting performance than low carbon steel. Casting defects cannot be avoided.
	ZG270-500 Precision Casting	High cost and no defects
	Q345-B	Good comprehensive performance, good low temperature performance, good cold stamping performance, good welding performance and machinability. (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.
Electric Motor Type	HENGLI and LANHAI brand	Good quality, cost-effective, long service life. Self-contained brake, high safety.
	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.
	ABB/WEG/Siemens	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.
Warping head	ZG270-500	Casting defects cannot be avoided	Q345-B	High welding strength and 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.
Electric Motor Type	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.	HENGLI or LANHAI brand	Cost-effective, good quality. Self-contained brake, high safety.
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.
