Lesson 25 Anchor windlass and Mooring winch 锚机和绞缆机 Anchor handling equipment The windlass（锚机） is the usual anchor handling device where one machine may be used to handle both anchor . A more recent development , particularly on large vessels, is the split windlass where one machine is used for each anchor. One unit of a split windlass(分离式锚机） is shown in Fig.25-1. The rotating units consist of a cable lifter(锚链轮） with shaped smug（凸起） to grip the anchor cable（锚链）, a mooring drum（绞缆筒） for paying out（放松） or letting go（放出） of mooring wires and a warp end for warping duties. Each of these units maybe separately engaged（啮合） or disengaged by means or a dog clutch（牙嵌离合器） ,although the warp end is often driven in association with the mooring drum. A spur gear（正齿轮） assembly transmits the motor drive to shaft where the various dog clutches enable the power take-off . Separate band brakes（独立式刹车） are fitted hold the cable lifter and the mooring drum（绞缆筒） when the power is switched off. The cable lifter unit（锚链轮） , show in Fig.25-1, is mounted so as to raise and lower the cable from the spurling pipe（锚链管） ,which is at the top and center of the chain or cable locker（锚链舱） . Details of the snugs（卡块） used to grip the cable and band brake（带式刹车） can be seen. Anchor capstans（起锚绞盘） are used in some installations where the cable lifter rotates about a vertical axis. Only the cable lifter unit is located on deck ,the driving machinery（驱动机械） being on the deck below . A warping end or barrel may be driven by the same unit and is positioned near the cable lifter. The efficient working of the anchor windlass is essential to the safety of the ship . An anchor windlass can expect to fulfill（满足） the following: 1.The windlass cable lifter brakes must be able to control the running anchor and cable when the cable lifter is disconnected from the gear during “letting go”（放锚）. Average cable speeds vary between 5-7 m/sec during this operation 2.The windlass must be able heave a certain
