Hydraulic Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass

Hydraulic Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass

Application

Hydraulic double gypsy anchor windlasses can be classified based on various factors, such as their capacity, speed, and power source. They can also vary in terms of their configuration and design, with some models featuring built-in capstans, warping heads, or other auxiliary equipment. The functions of a hydraulic double gypsy anchor windlass are similar to those of a single gypsy windlass, but with the added ability to handle multiple anchor chains. The windlass can be used to deploy and retrieve the anchor and chain, as well as to control the chain's tension and speed during these operations. 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).
Hydraulic Motor Type	DONGFANG and XINHONG brand	Good quality, cost-effective, long service life. With brake, high safety.
	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.
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.
Hydraulic Motor Type	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.	DONGFANG or XINGHONG brand	Cost-effective, good quality. With 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.

Hydraulic Double Gypsy Anchor Windlass in Factory

How does Hydraulic Double Gypsy Windlass work?

The hydraulic double gypsy anchor windlass operates by using a hydraulic system to lift and lower the anchor chain. The system consists of two gypsies, or chain wheels, that grip the anchor chain, and a wildcat or capstan that drives the chain. The system also includes a brake that holds the anchor chain in place when the windlass is not in use.

When the windlass is activated, a hydraulic pump is used to generate hydraulic pressure that is transmitted through a series of hydraulic lines and valves to the gypsies and wildcat. The hydraulic pressure is used to move the gypsies, which lift or lower the anchor chain. The wildcat or capstan is driven by a separate hydraulic motor that provides the torque needed to move the chain.

The hydraulic double gypsy windlass is often used on larger ships or vessels that require a high-capacity anchor handling system. It is a reliable and efficient system that is easy to use and maintain, making it a popular choice for many ship owners. The hydraulic system is also highly durable and able to withstand the harsh marine environment, making it suitable for use in a variety of sea conditions.
