Winch mooring involves using winches to secure vessels by controlling mooring lines. Mooring winches are mechanical devices designed to handle ropes or cables for anchoring or docking ships. They ensure safe and efficient vessel positioning during mooring operations.

Winch Mooring and Mooring Winches Specifications:

Size: Typically ranges from 10 kW to 500 kW, with drum capacities from 50 mm to 150 mm diameter.

Grade: High-tensile steel (Grade 80 or higher) for components like drums, gears, and frames.

Viscosity: Hydraulic systems use ISO VG 32 to VG 68 hydraulic oil, depending on operating conditions.

Buoyancy: Not applicable for winches; mooring buoys may have buoyancy ratings from 500 kg to 50,000 kg.

Material: Drums and structural parts are often carbon steel or stainless steel; wire ropes are galvanized steel or synthetic fiber.

Load Capacity: Ranges from 5 tons to 500 tons, depending on application.

Line Speed: Adjustable, typically 5 m/min to 30 m/min.

Braking System: Dynamic or static brakes with fail-safe mechanisms.

Power Source: Electric, hydraulic, or diesel-driven.

Environmental Rating: IP55 or higher for corrosion and water resistance.
