TM 55-1905-219-14-1
ANCHOR WINCH.
The Stern Anchor Winch (Figure 1-5) is a single drum, variable speed unit, powered by a diesel engine through a
torque converter driving system. The Winch is controlled with a foot operated lever override which sets the release spring
set brake on the winch driveshaft. The payout device is a variable speed device capable of paying out the Stern Anchor
wire rope. It is also capable of providing a payout tension load. A levelwinder, which can be disengaged if desired, is built
into the winch. It is synchronized with the drum rotation. An hydraulically operated slackpuller is mounted on the hull
structure to aid in unspooling the drum.
