Defini t ions

For th e purposes of this British Standard, the term s

and their definitions given in BS

MA

3 0 apply.

Terms particularly applicable to this British Standard

are

defined as follows.

3.1

working load.

The maximum pull exerted by

the fall or falls at the winch drum during lowering,

hoisting or stowing of the lifeboat which in any

case is ta be taken as no t less than the working

load on the davit or davits divided by the velocity

ratio of the lowering tackle.

3.2 static test load. The load equivalent to 1.5

times the working load, which the w inch brake shall

be capable of lowering and holding.

3.3

emergency lifeboat. A

lifeboat not exceeding

8.5

m in length w hich is required to be k ept

ready for immediate use in an emergency on certain

classes of ship while the ship is a t sea.

3.4

nominal size.

The nearest preferred number,

expressed in tonnes, t o the working load. I t is

derived from the working load of the winch at its

design speed.

NOTE 1 The range

of

nominal sizes covered

by

the

standard

is

listed in table 1 column

1 ;

the associated

working loads are listed in column 2.

NOTE 2. The nominal sizes of lifeboat winches in table

1

have been selected from the R10 eries of preferred

numbers, see BS 2045.

4.

Design and construction

4.1 Handing of

winches.

(See figure 1 Lifeboa t

winches may be designed for right-hand or left-hand

operation.

A

winch is termed a right-hand winch in relation

to an observer situated on the side of the motor,

power supply or controller , when the reduction gear

or the drive for the drum is on the right-hand side of

the drum.

Similarly, a winch is term ed

a

left-hand winch

when the reduc tion gear or the drive for the drum is

on the left-han d side of the d rum .

4.2 Material stresses.The mmuf acturer o f the winch

shall be responsible for determining t he stre ngth

requirements of the component parts of the winch

to withstand the working load. Furthermore the

stress level in any part of the winch shall no t exceed

the tensile strength of the m aterial divided

by

4.5.

4.3 Drum design

4.3.1 Lifeboat winches may be designed with one

or two drums.

4.3.2 Winch drums shall be arranged to keep the

two rope falls separate and enable them to pay ou t

at the same rate.

4.3.3 The drum length shall be such that th e rope

can be fully accommodated in not more than two

layers, the com plete length of the rope being

evenly reeled. For lifeboats weighing less than

6500

kg (fully laden) three layers are permissible.

The purchaser shall state o n the order the length

of rope requ ired. See append ix B, item

(0.

4.3.4 Th e drum diameter shall not norm ally be

less than 16 times the rope diameter. Th e

recommended diameters are listed

in

table 1,

column 6.

4.3.5 The flange height shall be such tha t it wili

project at least 1.5 rope diameters beyond the

outerm ost layer when the rope is fully and

evenly reeled on the dru m.

4.4

rum clutch.

The drum or drums and drive

mechanism shall be so arranged that they are

disconnected from any means provided

for

power

recovery except when hoisting th e load.
