Anchor Windlass · Anchor & Mooring Equipment
Designed to handle high loads with precision and reliability, the MacGregor Pusnes AW-H600 Hydraulic Windlass is a robust solution for anchoring and mooring operations. This windlass has a safe working load of 600 kN and can accommodate anchor chains and mooring lines up to 107 mm in diameter, with a speed of 9 meters per minute. The hydraulic drive ensures smooth operation and reliable performance under various conditions. For safety and efficiency, the brake holding capacity is specified to withstand up to 500 tonnes on the first layer, or be ISO/classification society compliant. When equipped with a chain stopper, the brake must withstand at least 45% of the chain cable breaking strength, while without a chain stopper, this requirement increases to 80%. The AW-H600 Hydraulic Windlass is available in single to triple drum configurations, and can be integrated with modular hydraulic power units or full electrical drives. Common maintenance checks include inspecting brake holding capacity, chain wear, hydraulic system contamination, brake lining thickness, and the function of the hydraulic chain stopper. It is recommended to keep spare brake linings on board due to a lead time of 3-6 weeks. Non-destructive testing (NDT) of the gypsy should be performed during every dry-dock, and the HPU motor insulation should be replaced at 20,000 hours to ensure continued reliability. The MacGregor Pusnes AW-H600 Hydraulic Windlass is a critical component for ensuring safe and efficient anchoring and mooring operations on merchant ships and offshore vessels.
