The marine anchor chain system requires the coordinated operation of multiple components. When a boat is at anchor, the chain stopper can prevent the anchor chain from accidentally slipping out. During the voyage, the anchor will not loosen due to the jolts. This device can also share the load of the anchor winch.
After the anchor chain emerges from the anchor winch, it first passes through the chain stopper, and then leads to the rollers and the anchor. When the chain stopper is locked, all the tension of the anchor chain is borne by the stopper. At this point, the anchor winch is in a completely relaxed state.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the direction of the anchor chain. The anchor chain must be parallel to the chain stopper. The deviation will cause the locking mechanism to fail.
The material is selected as corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This chain stopper is made of 316 stainless steel. The surface of the product has been polished to a mirror finish. The smooth surface is not likely to accumulate salt or marine organisms.
This chain stopper is designed with a mountain-shaped profile. When it is necessary to fix the anchor chain, lower the locking block. Once the anchor chain starts to slide outward, it will be held back by the locking block. When it is necessary to release the anchor chain, simply lift the locking block upwards. The entire process does not require any tools. It can also be operated quickly even in an emergency.
The chain stopper is a component with a simple structure but a crucial function.
It is necessary to regularly inspect the contact surface of the locking block of the chain stopper. This area will repeatedly rub against the anchor chain. Normal wear would result in slight bright marks on the surface. If obvious dents or deformations are found, it indicates that the hardness of the locking block is insufficient or the size of the anchor chain does not match.
