Pull Load caculation for Windlass
The only meaningful way to rate
anchor winch performance is by looking at what it will lift and at what speed.
The two things to consider are (a) the maximum pull capability and (b) the
working load of the winch. Maximum pull (sometimes referred to as stall load)
is the maximum short term or instantaneous pull of the winch. Working load is
generally rated at about one third of the maximum pull and is usually
considered to be the load that the winch is pulling once the anchor is off the
bottom. To determine your required maximum pull capability, complete the
calculation below.
The most useful way to rate
windlass performance is by looking at what it will lift and at what speed. The
two things to consider are the working load and the maximum pull capabilities
of windlass. Working load is the load that the windlass is pulling once the
anchor and rode are off the bottom. Maximum pull (sometimes referred to as
stall load) is the maximum short term or instantaneous pull of the windlass.
Maximum pull capacity of your windlass should be 3 to 4 times the working load.
This is the specification provided by the a company for Windlass selection
