Working principle of electric winch

Sep 12, 2020

The electric winch is a kind of mechanical equipment that is driven by a motor to drive a drum with a steel wire rope through a transmission device to realize load movement. It is mainly used in construction and installation engineering.

The winch can lift materials vertically, and can also pull heavy objects horizontally or tilted. There are two types of winches: manual winch and electric winch. And now most of them are electric winches.

The winch is composed of a base, a reducer, an elastic coupling, a brake, a reel, a motor, and electrical equipment, etc.

The motor drives the wire rope drum through the reducer, retracts and unwinds the wire rope. And changes the direction through different pulleys.

The electric control switch controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor to achieve the purpose of retracting and unwinding the rope to complete the work of the electrical winch.

Working principle of electric winch

Convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through a motor. That is, the motor's rotor rotates and outputs, and then drives the hoist drum to rotate after being decelerated by the V-belt, shaft, and gear. The drum winds the wire rope and passes through the pulley block to make the crane hook lift or drop the load. Convert the mechanical energy into mechanical work. And complete the vertical transportation, loading and unloading of heavy objects.
