Andersen Compact Motor™ electric winches allow you to hoist and trim
sails at the push of a button regardless of physical strength, so any crew
member can easily and safely trim sails and control lines.
Ease of installation
The Andersen Compact Motor™ electric winch is available in two formats for either Above
Deck or Below Deck motor placement. Motor gearbox and controller are integrated into
one compact unit with no extra control box necessary. Simpli昀椀ed electrical installation
requires just the connection of positive and negative power cables to the motor terminals
and the connection of the push button using the included output cable.
E昀케cient, variable speed
The Andersen Compact Motor™ is a brushless DC motor carefully matched to a
low pro昀椀le planetary gearbox which requires less space for installation and draws
considerably less current than traditional motor/gearbox con昀椀gurations. Available in 12
volt and 24 volt models, Compact Motor™ electric winches operate at variable speed in
proportion to the pressure applied to the push button for smooth and quiet operation.
Illuminated “intelligent” push button
Compact Motor™ winches are supplied with a push button with integrated LED which
illuminates when power is applied to the system. The push button incorporates a hinged
safety cover to prevent inadvertent winch operation and is water resistant rated to IP67.
The push button also acts with the controller to to assist with trouble shooting, by 昀氀ashing
in the event of overload or where other system protection intervention occurs. A cable for
connection of the push button is included for convenient installation.
Built-in protection
Integrated overload protection – The controller is pre-set to stop the winch if the
maximum pull load is exceeded. Operation can resume within a few seconds when the
load returns below the limit.
Thermal overload protection – The motor is 昀椀tted with a thermal cutout that disables the
motor in case of overheating; it automatically resets after the temperature returns to
normal.
Manual operation
Two speed manual operation is always available as a backup; to winch beyond the pre-set
maximum pull load (but below the winch MWL) or just for the experience.
