740
M5-A
65 675
255 Designed winch brake holding capacity 360kN or 36.7 t
315 Calculated for rope diameter 64mm
375
435mm

Line pull
Rope on the drum 60mm

450mm
Rope on the winch drum - diameter 60mm
MBL of the rope 578kN or 58.9 t
60 % of MBL of the rope 347kN or 35.4 t
1350mm Designed winch brake holding capacity for this rope 363kN or 37.0 t

Note: Vessels with undivided winch drums should calculate the winch brake holding capacity for the usual number of layers on the drum.
Designed Holding Capacity 363kN or 37.0 t The Mooring Equipment Guidelines chapter 7.4.6 describes that if the brake of an undivided drum is set to hold 80% MBL on
the first layer, it will hold approximately 65% on the third layer.

Applied force : 12.1 t Calculated actual Holding Capacity of MBL of the rope
344kN or 35.1 t or 60% This value is to be used in case the winch is equipped with a tension drum
or : 119kN for the rope on the drum diam. 60mm in case of a tension drum

Calculated actual Holding Capacity of MBL of the rope This value is to be used in case the winch is NOT equipped with a tension drum
279kN or 28.4 t or 48%
for the rope on the drum diam. 60mm with two layers AND there are only 2 layers on the drum

Calculated actual Holding Capacity of MBL of the rope This value is to be used in case the winch is NOT equipped with a tension drum
234kN or 23.9 t or 41%
for the rope on the drum diam. 60mm with three layers AND there are 3 layers on the drum

Calculated actual Holding Capacity of MBL of the rope This value is to be used in case the winch is NOT equipped with a tension drum
202kN or 20.6 t or 35%
for the rope on the drum diam. 60mm with four layers AND there are 4 layers on the drum

If slippage occurs at pressure less than 12.1 t the brake should be tightened or repaired and the jack pressure reapplied.
If slippage occurs at pressure more than 12.1 t the brake setting should be adjusted so the brake can render.
