PRODUCT VARIATIONS

There are several options of above-deck
arrangements or "topworks", combined with three
types of drives.
The types of topworks are:
VWC - vertical windlass with chainpipe
VWCLP - vertical windlass with chainpipe, low profile
VW - vertical windlass
Each of the above topworks is available as clockwise
or anticlockwise configuration (see description of
Definition of rotation in Section 2.1).
Beside friction clutch, which can be used for
controlling chain speed while free-falling anchor, the
windlasses can also be equipped with an external
band brake.
The types of drives are:
Electric DC drive (24V)
Electric AC drive (various voltages and frequencies)
Hydraulic drive
For applications where deck is unusually thick, or is
more convenient for drive to be positioned lower,
Maxwell offers 2 extra deck clearance kits which will
extend the drive by 75 or 225mm.
