Capstan Marine

Capstan marine refers to the capstan with a warping head installed on deck of a ship mainly used for ship anchoring, mooring, weights pulling and so on. According to power type, there are mainly electric marine capstan, hydraulic marine capstan, manual marine capstan, pneumatic marine capstan and gas powered capstan winch.

According to material of the marine capstan, there are cast iron galvanized capstan, stainless steel capstan, aluminum capstan and bronze capstan; according to shaft center line orientation, there are vertical marine capstan and horizontal marine capstan, vertical capstan is installed on deck with part of the capstan above the deck and other parts are below the deck, for example, the motor is usually situated below the deck and in this way it will be protected from excessive moisture, and this installation way save the space on the ship deck; horizontal capstan is mounted above the deck.

The power drives the drum to rotate to wind rope, cable or chain during anchorage or mooring operations. The torque transmission gear can be set in the warping head.

Classifications of Capstan Marine

  1. Classified by driving mode, there are electric capstan, hydraulic capstan, gas powered capstan winch, petrol capstan winch, pneumatic capstan, gasoline powered capstan and manual capstan winch; in general, manual capstan is usually small and portable capstan winch used for small boats because its load bearing capacity is not so heavy as electric and hydraulic capstans;
  2. Classified with orientation of shaft center line, there are vertical and horizontal capstans; vertical capstan winch is used more widely than horizontal one on boats because it takes up less space on deck than horizontal capstan;
  3. Classified with use of rope or cable, there are rope and cable capstans, the rope capstan contains electric capstan rope winch, hydraulic capstan rope winch and portable capstan rope winch; the diameters of drum vary when those of the rope and cable are different. The rated capacity of it is determined by the rope or cable diameter and capacity. With the rotation of the drum, the rope or cable is twined or released during the marine operations;
  4. Classified according to working occasions, there are marine capstan for example boat and ship capstans used for anchoring and mooring, and capstans used on land such as chainsaw capstan winch, capstans used for hauling cars.

There are also homemade capstan winch and diy capstan winch because some people make them at home by themselves, but usually they are only with small load capacity and cannot be used on big boats.
