Electric Anchor Windlass

Compact, modular drop-in electric anchor windlass with permanent magnet motor and variable speed drive; the first PM-motor windlass selected for U.S. Navy ships.

Description

The Jered Electric Anchor Windlass is a compact, modular unit designed as a drop-in for easy installation. It requires only a voltage flange and brake wheel foundation deck. A brushless permanent magnet motor, directly coupled to a gear reducer and combined with a variable speed drive, saves weight and space compared with hydraulic windlasses of similar capacity and needs less maintenance. Jered's design was the first permanent magnet motor anchor windlass selected for U.S. Navy ships.
