Capstan

Capstan is a vertical axled rotating machine used on sailing ships. It can apply force to ropes, cables, and hawsers. The principle is similar to that of the windlass, which owns a horizontal axle. Typically, it uses a gearbox which trades reduced speed, relative to the prime mover, for increased torque. Our company designs and produces capstan winches from simple light load to combined heavy load, which can lift pearl bags from the ocean floor to 30 ton line pull units for mooring large vessels. Modern capstan winches are powered electrically, hydraulically, pneumatically, or via an internal combustion engine.
