RC12 hydraulische verticale ankerlieren
At VETUS, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative and reliable marine solutions. Our RC12 hydraulic windlasses exemplify our commitment to quality and customer support. With a focus on the benefits these products bring to our customers, let’s explore the unique aspects of the RC12 Hydraulic Rope/Chain Series.
Hydraulic Rope/Chain Series
RC12HD - An Overview
The RC12HD is a testament to our dedication to innovation and technical expertise. It's designed for compatibility with 10 to 13mm (⅜” to ½”) short link chain and 16 to 22mm (⅝” to 7/8”) nylon rope. This versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of marine applications. The unique combination of rope and chain offers significant weight savings at the bow, enhancing the performance of light-duty commercial vessels, like patrol boats, that require high service speeds.
Material Quality and Design
We understand the importance of durability and reliability in marine environments. The RC12HD’s main shaft is crafted from high-strength, corrosion-resistant 2205 Duplex stainless steel (AISI 316). The above-deck components are also made from AISI 316 stainless steel, ensuring not only exceptional corrosion resistance but also a highly polished finish. This attention to material quality reflects our commitment to product longevity and customer trust.
Motor Options and Performance
Flexibility is key in marine equipment. The RC12HD comes with a range of motor options: hydraulic fan-cooled 24VDC, 48VDC, 3-phase AC hydraulic motors of various displacements, or a single-phase AC motor. This array of options ensures that there's a suitable version for different vessel specifications and needs. The runtime and continuous pull of the windlass vary between versions, allowing for customization based on specific requirements.
Advanced Mechanisms
Safety and precision are paramount in marine operations. The RC12HD features a double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism, enabling 'Free-Fall' anchoring. This mechanism, unlike dog clutches, provides smooth, progressive engagement. This design ensures safe and precise operator control – a clear demonstration of our technical expertise and commitment to innovation.
Patented Wave Design™ Chainwheel
The RC12HD is equipped with Maxwell’s revolutionary, patented Wave Design™ chainwheel. This innovative feature underscores our dedication to leading the industry with groundbreaking solutions. It offers enhanced performance and reliability, solidifying our promise of delivering top-quality, cutting-edge products.
Conclusion
In every aspect, from material quality to design innovation, the RC12 hydraulic windlasses embody the VETUS values: innovation, reliability, trust, technical expertise, commitment to product quality, and unparalleled customer support. Whether for light-duty commercial vessels or more demanding marine applications, our RC12 series stands as a beacon of excellence in the marine industry.
