for each application, together with correct

are essential for long life and reliable

Any damage or lack of components should be
reported immediately to your Maxwell distributor.

1.2 PRODUCT VARIATIONS

The types of drives are:
Electric DC drive (12V or 24V)

For applications where deck is unusually thick or is
more convenient for drive to be positioned lower,
Maxwell offers an option of extra 100mm deck
clearance.
Although mooring capstans are normally used in one
direction only, Maxwell capstans can be used in both
directions with equal load handling capacity.
