Double Socket, elongated, Type: D91B

Anchor and mooring equipment is essential for ensuring vessel safety and stability during operations. MacGregor Finland Oy's Double Socket, elongated, Type: D91B is a robust solution designed to handle medium anchor chain and mooring lines. This model features a brake holding capacity of up to 500 tonnes on the first layer, meeting ISO and classification society standards. The load capacity ranges from 5 to 300 tonnes on the first layer, with configurations available for single to triple drums. For systems equipped with a chain stopper, the brake must withstand at least 45% of the chain cable breaking strength, while windlasses without a chain stopper require a minimum of 80%. Common maintenance checks include assessing brake holding capacity, ensuring it holds at least 60% of the ship’s design MBL. Regular inspections for wear, corrosion, and contamination in the hydraulic system are crucial to maintaining efficiency. Brake linings should be inspected every six months, with replacements required when residual thickness drops below 50-60% of the original. Spare brake linings for the Double Socket, elongated, Type: D91B should be kept on board, as lead times can range from 3 to 6 weeks. Additional service notes include changing gear oil every two years and conducting motor insulation tests annually.
