✔ Step 1: Select by Chain Size
Choose the windlass based on anchor chain diameter:
- 28–32 mm → Small / medium vessels
- 34–38 mm → Medium vessels
- 40–50 mm → Large vessels
✔ Step 2: Confirm Working Load
From the table above:
- 28–30 mm → approx. 25–29 kN
- 36–38 mm → approx. 42–47 kN
- 44–50 mm → approx. 82–106 kN
✔ Step 3: Engine Power Selection
The diesel engine power is selected based on working load and efficiency requirements.
Recommended Engine Power Range:
|
Chain Size (mm) |
Working Load (kN) |
Recommended Engine Power |
|---|---|---|
| 28–32 | 25–33 kN | 10–18 kW |
| 34–38 | 37–47 kN | 18–30 kW |
| 40–42 | 50–68 kN | 30–45 kW |
| 44–50 | 82–106 kN | 45–70 kW |
✔ Step 4: Engine Configuration Options
- Engine Brand: Weichai / Changchai / International brands
- Starting Method: Electric start
- Cooling: Water cooling
- Silencer: Included for low noise operation
✔ ✔ Engineering Note
The engine power is selected according to classification society rules and actual working conditions. Final configuration should be confirmed based on project requirements.
Structure & Components
