Capstan · Anchor & Mooring Equipment
Onboard ships, the crew and engineers rely on vertical capstans to handle mooring lines, ensuring safe and efficient vessel operations. Rolls-Royce and Kongsberg Maritime jointly offer the Capstan Range, designed to provide robust performance for a variety of maritime applications. The Capstan Range supports pulling capacities from 20 kN to 100 kN, catering to different vessel sizes and requirements. Available in three sizes—RR-CAP-20, RR-CAP-50, and RR-CAP-100—the range accommodates power needs from 5 kW to 50 kW. These capstans feature a durable cast steel construction and a weather-protected motor, ensuring reliability in harsh marine environments. The drive type can be either electric or hydraulic, offering versatile operation. Common issues encountered include worm gear wear, motor overheating, and drum surface wear, which can affect long-term performance. Spare parts are available from Kongsberg Maritime, with a typical lead time of 3 to 6 weeks. Routine maintenance is recommended to keep the capstan in optimal condition and minimize downtime.
