Working of Hydraulic Anchor Winch
The electro-hydraulic winch is also called hydraulic winch, which is driven by the electric motor to drive the hydraulic pump, and the generated oil pressure drives the oil motor, and then the winch runs by a reducer (or without a reducer). The winch has compact structure, small power and transmission parts, stable operation and good speed change performance.
Advantages of Hydraulic Transmission
- The hydraulic system can work under a lot of pressure, so the hydraulic transmission is easy to get a larger force or moment to meet various needs of ships.
- Hydraulic transmission can realize stepless speed regulation in a larger range.
- The inertia of the hydraulic components is small, and the oil can be regarded as non-compressive, so the system is sensitive, quick in response, and rapid in change of direction, adapting to the rapid changes in ship and sea conditions.
- The hydraulic transmission uses hydraulic oil as the working medium, and the oil itself has the ability to absorb vibration, so the system runs smoothly.
- The hydraulic transmission has various types of actuators, which can be directly connected with the working machinery to complete various complex actions and simplify the mechanism.

Buying The Right Anchor Winch for Boats
Anchoring is very important for a ship, so it is critical to choose a suitable anchor winch. The changes in the marine environment are difficult to predict. Therefore, the safe, reliable and efficient work of marine winches is very necessary in harsh environments. When the ship needs it, the winch should ensure fast and safe anchoring and keep the ship parked in a safe position.
There are several factors that affect the choice of an anchor windlass winch, including the size of the boat, application, length and diameter of rope or chain, rated load, etc. How to choose the perfect anchor winch system for your boat? Aicrane professionals are here to assist you throughout the selection process.
If steel wire rope is used, the winch used on ship can be called anchor rope winch. The rope drum can be electrically or hydraulically driven to control the raise or lower of the anchor rod. If the ship is anchored by chains, the winch can be called anchor chain winch. Chain wheels are required during the anchoring operation. Single or double gypsy wheels are optional. The warping head on one or both sides of the drum is also optional, which is only used for line handling, not storing. Our winches are available with different configurations to meet varied needs of customers.
