Barbotin V8 - 16 mm

Name: Barbotin V8 - 16 mm
Brand: Lewmar

The sprocket is an essential component in the operation of your windlass and plays a very important role in the anchor lifting and lowering process. It is an integral part of the deck unit and enables the anchor chain to be lifted from your boat. The chain wraps around the sprocket, preventing tangles and knots.

The sprocket is compatible with all V8 windlass deck units that can accommodate 16mm diameter SHORT LINK or 16mm DIN 766 chain.

LEWMAR - Barbell for V8 - 16 mm

Mooring chains for boats are subject to standards that regulate their manufacture. There are several types of standards, such as ISO 4565, which is a more general international standard, DIN 766, a more specific German standard focusing on steel anchor chains, and the SHORT LINK designation, which is characteristic of short-link chains.

ISO 4565 chains have wider and longer links than DIN 766 or SHORT LINK chains, which implies differences in dimensions, weight and strength.

Here, the sprocket can accommodate 16mm SHORT LINK or 16mm DIN 766 chain.

To find out the exact dimensions of the chain your sprocket can support, please refer to the diagram in the photo and the corresponding letters in the legend.

Chain (D) : Ø 16 mm
P : 48 mm (SHORT LINK) - 45 mm (DIN 766)
W: 56 mm (SHORT LINK) - 58 mm (DIN 766)
