(Askeri) BOCURGAT; IRGAT: Gemilerde, etrafına halat veya çelik halat sarmaya mahsus, makara şeklinde, dönücü kovan. Bocurgat, çekme ve kaldırma için kullanılır ve el ile veya makina ile işletilir. Bocurgat, özellikle, halat vira etmede kullanılır
a mechanical advantage to raise the anchor or lift heavy cargo from the hold The crew inserts two long poles through the head and turns the device by walking about it while wrapping the line around the bottom
A vertical cleated drum or cylinder, revolving on an upright spindle, and surmounted by a drumhead with sockets for bars or levers. It is much used, especially on shipboard, for moving or raising heavy weights or exerting great power by traction upon a rope or cable, passing around the drum. It is operated either by steam power or by a number of men walking around the capstan, each pushing on the end of a lever fixed in its socket
The drive spindle in a tape machine - usually made of stainless steel The pinch roller presses the tape against Capstan, which rotates, pulling the tape across the heads
1 A winch with its drum on which the line is wrapped turning on a vertical axis; Compare to windlass 2 A mechanical device used for hoisting anchors or other heavy objects
It is much used, especially on shipboard, for moving or raising heavy weights or exerting great power by traction upon a rope or cable, passing around the drum
In a tape recorder the capstan is the rotating shaft that drives the tape past the heads Usually the tape is squeezed between the capstan and a rubber wheel known as the pinch roller The capstan is what controls the speed of the tape and is usually attached to a "flywheel" so that a smooth and consistent tape speed is maintained
An apparatus used for hoisting weights, consisting of a vertical spool-shaped cylinder that is rotated manually or by machine and around which a cable is wound
"A cylindrical revolving device used for hauling a cable, especially the anchor cable " (Uden & Cooper) A capstan rotates around a vertical axis, as opposed to a windlass, which revolves around a horizontal axis
A capstan is a machine consisting of a drum that turns round and pulls in a heavy rope or something attached to a rope, for example an anchor. a round machine shaped like a drum, used to wind up a rope that pulls or lifts heavy objects (al; cabestan, from cabestre , probably from capere ). Mechanical device used chiefly on board ships or in shipyards for moving heavy weights by means of ropes, cables, or chains. A capstan consists of a drum, driven either manually or by steam or electricity, that rotates about a vertical axis to wind in a line wrapped around it. The grip between the line and the drum depends on friction and on the number of times the line is wrapped around the drum. A notched track (ratchet) on the base plate and pawls attached to the drum prevent backward rotation
