Summary: Mooring winch ensures safety by automatically locking the drum when the motor stops, preventing dangerous load roll-back.
The band brake is the heart of the mooring winch, since the brake secures the drum and consequently the mooring line at the shipboard end. Band brakes follow the same principle as wrapping a rope around a bittor warping head to hold a line force.
Key Features and Functions:
Safety Mechanism: The band brake is deemed the "heart" of the mooring winch, providing necessary tension control during mooring operations.
Construction: These brakes often use non-asbestos friction materials, including woven brake lining with brass wire for enhanced performance.
Operation: They can be manually operated or, in advanced setups, spring-loaded for enhanced safety by maintaining a more constant brake holding capacity (BHC).
Components: The assembly typically includes the brake band, lining, and tightening mechanisms (like a handwheel).
