Hydraulic Single Gypsy Anchor Windlass

Hydraulic Single Gypsy Anchor Windlass

Application

A hydraulic single gypsy anchor windlass is a type of marine equipment used to anchor and moor a vessel. It is powered by hydraulic pressure and has a single gypsy, which is a wheel with teeth used to engage and haul in the anchor chain. The hydraulic system provides the force necessary to lift and lower the anchor, and to haul in and pay out the anchor chain. The windlass typically consists of a drum or gypsy, hydraulic motor, gearbox, and control system. Hydraulic single gypsy anchor windlasses can be designed for use on various types and sizes of vessels, and are commonly found on larger commercial and military ships, as well as some pleasure craft. According to the arrangement, there are single gypsy wheel windlass, double gypsy wheels windlass and combined windlass. It can be equipped with warping head.

Hydraulic Single Gypsy Anchor 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).
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 Single Gypsy Anchor Windlass in Factory

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.
