Description
Aker Pusnes anchor windlass in the P-15CU + 320HW build — a P-15CU cable-lifter unit sitting on the same bedplate as a 320HW winch, supplied as a handed pair, W1 and W2.
- Builds — (W1) 320HW 53.M15 + P-15CU 15.47 and (W2) P-15CU 47.15 + 320HW 15M.53; the figures after each type say how the cable lifter, drums and warping head are arranged across the machine, which is why the port and starboard sets read back to front
- Cable lifter — 117 mm Grade 3 stud-link chain; heaves about 65 t at 9 m/min, roughly 104 t on maximum pull
- Cable-lifter band brake — holds in the order of 425 t, the usual 45% of chain break load
- Winch half — about 30 t at 15 m/min, 45 m/min on slack rope; brake set around 92 t against a 115 t line
- Drum stowage — about 275 m of 42 mm wire with an 11 m nylon tail
- SPM drum — a separate drum can carry roughly 150 m of 80 mm rope over that
- Oil flow — the one that catches people out: about 600 l/min at the cable lifter on rated pull, about 260 l/min at the winch
- Power — windlasses and mooring winches run off dedicated deck HPUs (^JHPA), typically three pump units a station, one station forward and one aft, on a 440 V 60 Hz supply
- Weight — about 29.5 t dry each
- Control — everything is worked through the 6MBP control block (^JBPW2)
- Drawing — windlass — 114128
- Drawing — cable-lifter unit — 114127
- Drawing — winch — 217200

Did you know
- Aker Pusnes, established in 1875, has a long history of developing deck machinery, with the first steam-driven winch delivered in 1891. The company has been a significant supplier of hydraulic deck machinery since 1985. While a specific launch year for the P-15CU + 320HW Windlass is not available, Pusnes has been delivering offshore mooring winches since the late 1960s and developed electric deck machinery based on frequency (AC) drive between 1997 and 1999.
- The P-15CU + 320HW Windlass is part of Aker Pusnes's comprehensive range of offshore mooring systems, which includes various anchor windlasses, chain jacks, traction winches, combination winches, and rope/wire winches. These systems have evolved from early steam-driven winches to modern electric and high-pressure hydraulic designs.
- Aker Pusnes windlasses, including models like the P-15CU + 320HW, are chosen for their robust design, high stalling power, and ability to operate reliably in harsh offshore environments. They often feature advanced control and monitoring systems for precise handling and integrated safety features such as alarm systems, load monitoring, and emergency stops.
| Model | Chain Size (mm) | Drive Type | Brakes per Cable Lifter |
|---|---|---|---|
| P-15CU + 320HW Windlass | 127 | Electric (AC) | Two fail-safe band brakes |
| Pusnes Anchor Windlass (Snorre B) | 145 | Electric | Two fail-safe band brakes |
