Hydraulic winches
Principle work of hydraulic winches
Hydraulic winches are units consisting of a hydraulic motor that transmits power to the cable drum through a planetary gearbox, a multi-disc brake, high pressure hydraulic hoses and bypass valves to protect against overloads.
Application of hydraulic winches
Hydraulic winches can create traction forces in large sizes (from a couple of tons to 30,000 kilograms or more), therefore they can be used in various fields of application. They are highly reliable and powerful.
Such winches are widely used:
- on ships for mooring,
- as a winch for off-road vehicles,
- on cars (the hydraulic motor of the winches is driven by the power steering pump), being more reliable than an electric motor.
Hydraulic winches benefits
These units have a higher traction load than electric winches of similar power. They can be used for pulling and vertical lifting of loads.
