RONSTAN 40QT ORBIT WINCH WITH QUICK TRIM

strong40QT Orbit Winch with Quick Trim/strongRonstan’s Orbit Winches™ are the new benchmark in high performance alloy winches. With a combination of fresh design thinking and proven manufacturing expertise Orbit Winches™ weigh significantly less and offer lower line entry heights than any other winch in their class. Remarkably easy to service they require no tools for disassembly or maintenance. The machined aluminium drums feature the same Power Ribs™ that many sailors will recognize from Andersen Stainless Steel Winches® well-known for their impressive line grip smooth control and minimal rope wear.strongPower Ribs™strongThe exceptional grip provided by the Power Ribs™ offers a multitude of benefits: requiring fewer wraps around the drum reducing the load held in the self-tailer and encouraging the line to slide easily upward on the drum to avoid riding turns. The non-abrasive drum surface extends the service life of running rigging and allows smooth and controlled easing even under high loads.strongNo Tools Required/strongFull disassembly and reassembly can conveniently be performed without the need for any tools. To remove the drum pull back the spring-loaded release latch and a slight anti-clockwise rotation will allow the self-tailing arm to be lifted from the winch. From there the drum can be removed from the winchs center stem. When completing reassembly in reverse order an audible click confirms positive engagement between the self-tailing arm and bayonet notches on the center stem. These notches allow the self-tailing arm to be locked in one of eight positions at rotational increments of 45 degrees.Orbit Winches™ sizes 30QT and 40QT are equipped with the unique patented QuickTrim™ self-tailer. strongWhat is QuickTrim™?/strongQuickTrim™ allows sailors to conveniently and safely ease the line without removing the winch handle or taking the line out of the self-tailer.A small anti-clockwise rotation of the self-tailing cover allows the self-tailer to turn beneath it like a sheave as the rope is eased with confident grip and control assured by the drum’s smooth surface and Power Ribs™.Letting the top cover spring back into place locks the self-tailer again to resume normal use.strongFeaturesstrongulliLightweight machined aluminum drum/liliDistinctive Power Ribs™ ensures a controlled grip at all times whether tensioning or easing/liliProven Andersen winch gearing configuration/liliNo tools are required for configuration and servicing/liliSprung self-tailing jaws to accept 6-10mm line/liliQuickTrim™ patented self-tailing feature for rapid sail trim and smooth adjustment (30QT & 40QT only)/li/ulstrongMaterialsstrongulliHard anodized aluminum drum and center stem aluminum self-tailing arm/liliGrade 316 stainless steel shaft and pawls/liliGrade 2205 stainless steel axle pins/liliAluminum bronze gears/liliGlass-filled nylon self tailer/liliSelf-lubricating acetal bearings/li/ulstrongSpecificationsstrongulliWeight (kilogram): 3.1kg/liliPower Ratio: 39.5:1/liliBase Diameter (millimeters): 151mm/liliMaximum Pulling Load (kilogram): 850kg/liliDrum Diameter (millimeters): 86mm/liliBase Diameter (millimeters): 151mm/liliHeight (millimeters): 166mm/liliLine Entry L (millimeters): 57mm/liliLine Size (millimeters): 7-12mm/liliGear Ratio 1st Speed: 1.4:1/liliGear Ratio 2nd Speed: 6.8:1/liliPower Ratio 1st Speed: 8.3:1/liliPower Ratio 2nd Speed: 39.5:1
