Harken HKW40.2STC Winch Radial Self-Tailing Chrome

The Harken HKW40.2STC Winch Radial Self-Tailing Chrome is a game-changer in the world of winches, offering cutting-edge features that enhance performance, safety, and ease of maintenance. The winch is engineered with a unique gripping surface that reduces line wear by eliminating the need for friction, ensuring a smooth and efficient operation.

Safety is a top priority with the Radial winch, as the winch tops are fully covered, preventing fingers and clothing from being caught in moving parts. This thoughtful design feature enhances safety, especially during high-speed maneuvers.

Maintenance is made easy with a top that lifts out as a single unit, ensuring quick, error-free reassembly. This simplifies seasonal maintenance, saving time and effort for sailors.

The grip mechanism of the Radial winch functions like a screw, controlling the downward movement of the line while easing, which allows for precise and reliable sail trimming and adjustments.

Thanks to the use of composite roller bearings and bushings, friction under load is minimized, enhancing corrosion resistance and eliminating the need for lubrication. Additionally, this design feature makes the winch lighter by 25 to 50 percent compared to conventional winches, improving overall efficiency.

For chrome Radial winches, the grip pattern differs from the aluminum model due to the inherently slick surface of chrome. The ribs on chrome models are spaced closer together, enhancing friction and ensuring better control for trimming and easing sails with precision.
