Marine Electric Anchor Capstan

About product

A marine electric anchor capstan is a machine used for mooring and anchoring tasks on ships and boats. It consists of a mooring head and a gypsy designed for anchor chains ranging from 16mm to 60mm. Driven by an electric motor, the ship capstan can be deck-mounted or thru-deck-mounted. Unlike an anchor winch, it has a single drum for rotating and winding the anchor line, without storing it on the drum. The ship capstan controls the release and paying out of the line attached to the anchor.

Product Detail

Electric Anchor Capstan Advantage

An advantage of using an anchor capstan is its ability to handle line hauling from any direction. This provides flexibility and convenience during mooring and anchoring operations. However, it is important to ensure that the anchor line approaches the chain gypsy at a specific angle, typically not exceeding 5 degrees above or below the center line of the gypsy.

Electric anchor capstans are available with rated pulls ranging from 3-20 t, making them suitable for a wide range of vessel sizes and loads. They can be seamlessly integrated into the deck construction, thanks to the inclusion of a foundation pipe piece. This design feature allows for easy motor connection below deck. The electric anchor capstans can be operated using either a direct-on-line (DOL) control or a frequency converter, enabling variable speed control based on specific requirements.

The GYPSY Design Of Anchor Capstan

The gypsy design of an anchor capstan is crucial for its effective operation in mooring and anchoring tasks. The gypsy refers to the component of the ship capstan specifically designed to engage and handle the anchor chain. It is carefully engineered to accommodate anchor chains within a specific range, typically ranging from 16mm to 60mm in size.

The design of the gypsy ensures a secure grip on the anchor chain, allowing for controlled movement and manipulation during winding and unwinding operations. It is designed to maintain proper alignment and tension to prevent slippage or damage to the chain. The gypsy’s shape and construction are optimized to facilitate smooth and efficient engagement with the anchor chain.

By incorporating a well-designed gypsy, the anchor capstan can effectively control the release and paying out of the anchor line. This enables precise and reliable anchoring and mooring, ensuring the safety and stability of the vessel or boat.
