Drive options
for all types of vessel
Rolls-Royce offers three differentdrive
options suitable for all types of vessels.
The power source for the winch
systems can be, as required by the
customer, low-pressure hydraulic, high-
pressure hydraulic, frequency-converter
electric drive or pole-change electric
drive. The choice of drive type often
depends on type of application and the
actual winch operations.
Low-pressure
The low-pressure drive has been
produced by Rolls-Royce since 1941.
The key characteristics of the motor are,
foremost, reliability and robustness. In
addition, the low-pressure drive gives
dynamic braking, low noise level and is
easy to operate. Further advantages are
stepless speed regulation and high
torque. Because it has few mechanical
parts, the low-pressure drive is less
exposed to wear and tear, giving low
maintenance costs.
High-pressure
The hydraulic system for the high-
pressure drive is of an open loop,
constant pressure type. One pump can
simultaneously supply a number of
winches and other hydraulically driven
devices. The high-pressure drive has
excellent stalling and effective low
speed performance. It is easy to install,
operate and maintain.
Three speed pole-change drive
The nearly maintenance-free electric
motor is of squirrel-cage rotor type,
without mechanical contact between
the rotor and the stator. The motor is
equipped with standstill heating,
temperaturesensors and a fail-safe
brake. The winch control is precise and
easy. Speed steps in both directions are
obtained by a single lever. Electric
systems are easy to install and provide
quick start in all environmental
conditions.
Frequency converter drive
The frequency converter model
represents the latest and the most
advanced electric drive technology
available. The stepless control allows the
use of very low speed for clutch control
and anchor nesting. The drive system
also offers good stalling performance,
and smooth, low noise operation
provides for a good living and working
environment.
The low-pressure drive gives dynamic
braking, low noise level and is easy to
operate.
The high-pressure drive has excellent
stall characteristics and effective low
speed performance.
The electric drive winches are
delivered with pole-change or
frequency-converter drives.

Module-based
system
The range of anchoring and mooring
winches is light, compact and easy to
install. The modular design and the
standard option programme allows the
customer to combine the relevant
modules to meet the strictest budgetary
constraints and provide optimum
performance.
All shafts, including the main shaft, run on
roller bearings. The drum brake is an
external contracting band brake.
All important brake parts, such as the pin
and brake surfaces, are made of stainless
steel.
Electric systems
The electric anchoring and mooring
system consists of three basic
components – the winch with an
electric motor, starter for the electric
motor and one or more freely locatable
control stands. Only the starter is located
below deck.
Hydraulic high-pressure systems
The system consists of the hydraulic
power pack and the winch itself, with a
hydraulic motor and the control valve
mounted on the winch. The high-
pressure system is based on a working
pressure of 200 to 280 bar. The design of
the internal hydraulic circuits eliminates
the need to install separate drain lines –
instead, oil is led through return lines.

The Synchro RTX
Autotrawl system
The Synchro RTX Autotrawl system is
developed for dynamic control of single-rig
and twin-rig demersal trawls, pelagic trawls
and pair trawls. The trawl system is one of
the most advanced on market, using
integrated safety logic and user-friendly
interface. Essential control and monitoring
functions are fully integrated, giving major
benefits during commissioning and
operation.
It keeps the trawls fully open when
changing course during trawling. The trawl
is kept moving at constant speed, even
under difficult conditions. If the trawl snags,
the system pays out wire automatically to
prevent damage.
The Synchro RTX Autotrawl is the optimum
solution for maximising the catching ability
for single and double trawls. The system is
based on the latest technology, providing
excellent stability, simple operation and
great flexibility.
Key features
• Free choice of master winch, starboard,
port or centre
• New fuel-saving EcoStep frequency-
controlled towing pump
• Synchronised or independent automatic
operations of trawl winches
• Alarm and monitoring control system
• Ready for equipment health monitoring
• New ergonomic and functional joystick
• Automatic communication with net
sensors, echo sounders etc.
• Graphical and dynamic presentation of the
trawl gear (single, double)
• Presentation of the trawl´s symmetry and
geometry
The illustration show the advantage when
controlling the trawl(s) by using Synchro
Autotrawl for single, double or pair
trawling.
Synchro RTX is operated by two 19“ touch screens –
forward and aft bridge. There is a choise of day
or night view.
A 10.4“ touch screen can be mounted next to the
captain’s chair. Most of the common functions in the
trawling process can be operated from this screeen.

The advances in deck machinery design
and new technology can help older
vessels to be more effective and reliable.
One has experienced that a combi
nation of Synchro RTX and an upgrading
from single- to double-trawl has given a
catch increase of up to 100%. Upgrading
of drive systems is also possible. For
example, the low-pressure system can
be upgraded by increasing the pressure,
but with no visible changes to the
installation. This will give 30% more
output from existing components with
no extra weight added.
The Rolls-Royce spare parts are often
developed so that when an old unit is
overhauled, a new module is substituted
for worn components of the original
design. This upgrades the performance
of the product as well as restoring it to
health.
With Rolls-Royce as your service partner,
our experienced engineers upgrade old
applications or purpose-fit new
equipment to your vessel. This means
that in many cases you can meet
changing markets without having to
carry out expensive rebuilds.
Upgrading is a good
investment
Underway
replenishment and
refuelling systems
Upgrading and replacement components
can pay dividends in vessel performance
and fuel savings. Once a product is in
service, it is expected to last 25 years or
more. During that time, there will be
tremendous changes in the technology
available. To continuously improve your
vessel’s performance, we provide a
variety of upgrading solutions.
Naval deck machinery
The Rolls-Royce range of naval deck
machinery comprises a wide range of
windlasses and winches designed to
meet exacting naval standards. They
can be tailored to virtually any naval
requirement. Operation is by thyristor
controlled electric, electro-hydraulic
or 3-speed AC electric pole change
drive depending on customer
preference.
Products include:
• Mooring/towing winches
• Anchor windlasses

The latest all-electric systems enable
replenishment vessels to supply both fuel
and solid stores quickly and
safely in rougher conditions.
Rolls-Royce specialises in providing
underway replenishment (UNREP)
systems as part of an integrated
package. With many modern
navies moving to the low-manned
all-electric ship concept, Rolls-Royce
has developed fully automated all-
electric systems to complement its range
of conventional abeam and astern
refuelling rigs. For liquids and solids
transfer, the latest dual-purpose systems
can automatically transfer payloads of
2 tonnes or hose catenaries from a single
station, and operate safely up to sea-state
6 and 7.
One man, from the custom-designed
control platform on the supply ship,
controls all functions. Once in automatic
mode, the payload accelerates as it
departs the supply ship and decelerates,
safely stopping as it approaches the
programmed position on the receiving
vessel. The control system ensures that
the position of the payload is maintained
regardless of the relative movement of
the vessels.

The advances in deck machinery design
and new technology can help older
vessels to be more effective and reliable.
One has experienced that a combi
nation of Synchro RTX and an upgrading
from single- to double-trawl has given a
catch increase of up to 100%. Upgrading
of drive systems is also possible. For
example, the low-pressure system can
be upgraded by increasing the pressure,
but with no visible changes to the
installation. This will give 30% more
output from existing components with
no extra weight added.
The Rolls-Royce spare parts are often
developed so that when an old unit is
overhauled, a new module is substituted
for worn components of the original
design. This upgrades the performance
of the product as well as restoring it to
health.
With Rolls-Royce as your service partner,
our experienced engineers upgrade old
applications or purpose-fit new
equipment to your vessel. This means
that in many cases you can meet
changing markets without having to
carry out expensive rebuilds.
Upgrading is a good
investment

Upgrading and replacement components
can pay dividends in vessel performance
and fuel savings. Once a product is in
service, it is expected to last 25 years or
more. During that time, there will be
tremendous changes in the technology
available. To continuously improve your
vessel’s performance, we provide a
variety of upgrading solutions.
Naval deck machinery
The Rolls-Royce range of naval deck
machinery comprises a wide range of

meet exacting naval standards. They
can be tailored to virtually any naval
requirement. Operation is by thyristor
controlled electric, electro-hydraulic
or 3-speed AC electric pole change
drive depending on customer
preference.
Products include:
• Mooring/towing winches
• Anchor windlasses
• Mooring capstans
• Anchor cable and warping
capstans
• Towed array sonar winches

The latest all-electric systems enable
replenishment vessels to supply both fuel
and solid stores quickly and
safely in rougher conditions.
Rolls-Royce specialises in providing
underway replenishment (UNREP)
systems as part of an integrated
package. With many modern
navies moving to the low-manned
all-electric ship concept, Rolls-Royce
has developed fully automated all-
electric systems to complement its range
of conventional abeam and astern
refuelling rigs. For liquids and solids
transfer, the latest dual-purpose systems
can automatically transfer payloads of
2 tonnes or hose catenaries from a single
station, and operate safely up to sea-state
6 and 7.
One man, from the custom-designed
control platform on the supply ship,
controls all functions. Once in automatic
mode, the payload accelerates as it
departs the supply ship and decelerates,
safely stopping as it approaches the
programmed position on the receiving
vessel. The control system ensures that
the position of the payload is maintained
regardless of the relative movement of
the vessels.
