RC10 vertical windlasses
At VETUS, we are dedicated to delivering products that embody our core values of innovation, reliability, trust, technical expertise, commitment to product quality, and unparalleled customer support. Our RC10 Series of automatic rope/chain anchor winches exemplify these values, representing the pinnacle of Maxwell's successful RC Series Windlass Range.
Unrivalled Performance and Durability
The RC10-8 Series, meticulously crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, integrates a chromed bronze chainwheel designed to seamlessly retrieve and deploy 8mm (5/16”) chain spliced to 14mm (9/16”) or 16mm (5/8”) 8-brait (plait) rope. For those requiring more power, the RC10-10 accommodates 10mm (3/8”) chain spliced to 16mm (5/8”) 8-brait (plait) rope. This series also offers a sleek Low Profile version and a fluted stainless steel (AISI 316) capstan drum version.
Effortless Installation and Versatility
The RC10 Series's hallmark is its two-piece installation design, saving both time and money. This innovative feature enables straightforward retrofitting without the need for windlass disassembly. Moreover, the unique spacer tube design ensures compatibility with various deck thicknesses, while the multiple mounting positions and self-aligning gearbox guarantee optimal gearbox and motor placement across diverse installation scenarios.
Optimal Control and Reliability
VETUS' dedication to customer satisfaction shines through in the RC10's features. The marine-grade 316 stainless steel (AISI 316) pressure arm, combined with the distinctive rope/chain gypsy, delivers unparalleled performance by gripping the splice between rope and chain effectively. This ensures consistency and reliability in retrieving and deploying your anchor. The heavy-duty stainless steel (AISI 316) pressure arm, in conjunction with a robust wire diameter stainless steel (AISI 316) spring, maintains consistent pressure on the rode and splice.
Enhanced Functionality and Options
The RC10 accommodates various chain rodes, catering to those seeking a Low Profile, elegantly styled windlass for their foredeck. Its through-deck hawse pipe throat guarantees seamless entry and exit of the rope/chain rode from the anchor locker. The cone-type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual 'Free Fall' anchoring, enhancing operational flexibility. The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard-anodized alloy gearbox ensure maximum output through a precision worm and worm wheel.
Comprehensive Accessories and Customization
Each RC10 automatic rope/chain windlass is equipped with top works, motor/gearbox, and dual-direction solenoid. To tailor your anchoring experience, we offer a range of optional accessories, including AutoAnchor™ equipment, compact remotes, chain stoppers, foot switches, chain snubbers, and capstan models. We also provide a height-matched chain stopper specially designed for use with Maxwell's rope/chain vertical windlasses.
In conclusion, the RC10 Series from VETUS embodies the synthesis of advanced engineering, durability, versatility, and user-friendly installation, all underscored by our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional products and customer satisfaction. Join the ranks of satisfied boaters who trust VETUS for their anchoring needs.
