ANDERSEN Winches
- Overview |
ANDERSEN Winches are lightweight,
durable stainless-steel winches. One of the greatest features of ANDERSEN
Winches is the Power Rib. Unlike
other winches with abrasive or machine cut drum surfaces, the
drums have vertical ribs
running up the surface. This combined with the smooth polished stainless
steel gives
maximum grip and minimum wear on ropes, reducing the replacement costs
of sheets and halyards. What’s more, the Power Rib principle simply
makes sailing more pleasurable. Fewer turns on the winch make tacking
easier. Sheets can be gently eased out without shuttering and the risks
of overrides
and jammed sheets are significantly reduced. The grip provided by the
ribs will remain the same year after year, unlike many other winches
with an
abrasive or sandpaper-like surface. Such surfaces have a tendency to
wear down both ropes and themselves.
It’s all about protecting your investment. With ANDERSEN Winches,
this protection is guaranteed, as the drum maintains its grip year after
year. Keeping wear and tear to a minimum also helps maintain resale value,
and our 3-year warranty and instant service in more than 30 countries worldwide
amount to a benchmark standard. Low maintenance is a key — and with
ANDERSEN Winches, you can take it for granted. Our winches require less
maintenance, since all pawls and springs are captive, and the design
of the winch allows you to easily strip it down for service and greasing.
Features:
Drive shaft of AISI 329 stainless steel
Adjustable self-tailing arm through 360 degrees (from size 40ST and up)
Low friction curved self-tailing arm
Stainless-steel ball bearings to carry vertical and horizontal loads
from the drum (from size 52ST and up). The upper and lower bearings are
designed to be maximum distance apart, resulting in increased support
for the drum while increasing efficiency
Large-diameter roller bearings to absorb drum loads and increase efficiency
Easy servicing of gears. Captive pawls made from cold-pressed stainless-steel
bar AISI 316L, are unbreakable
Upper base plate from aluminium bronze, which is twice as strong as standard
bronze and ensures a light, stiff and rugged construction that increases
efficiency
The self-tailing system adjusts automatically to suit various rope sizes
Lightweight stainless-steel drum with Power Rib ensures a superior grip
on the sheet without causing excessive wear
Drum surface with Power Rib generates horizontal friction, and a highly
polished surface minimizes vertical friction, allowing rope to slide
easily up the drum
Lightweight stainless-steel drum combined with an internal construction
of aluminium bronze, results in ANDERSEN Winches being of similar weight
to aluminium winchesbut far more durable. Servicing is only required
every 2 years under normal use.
