Fixing and Installation of Electric Winch
Electric winches are motorized pulling machines for moving heavy loads or towing vehicles with less effort than manual winches. Designed for intermittent use, they have a line that attaches to the load and a motor that rotates a drum to wind in the line and draw the load toward the winch.
Winch fix
The electric winch must be fixed with ground anchors to prevent slippage or overturning during work. According to the magnitude of the force, the winches have four fixing methods: bolt anchoring, horizontal anchoring, standing pile fix anchoring and weight anchoring.
Pay attention to the following points in the installation of electric winches:
There must be unblocked drainage around the installation location of electric winch and a work shed should be set up;
The installation of winch should enable the operator to see clearly the commander and the lifting or dragging object. The horizontal distance from the hoist to the installation position of the component should be greater than the installation height of the component, that is, when the component is hoisted to the installation position, the elevation angle of the operator's line of sight should be less than 45°;
A guide block should be set directly in front of the hoist when we fixing the winch. The distance from the guide block to the axis of the drum, the grooved drum should not be less than 15 times the drum width, that is, the inclination angle α should not be greater than 2° (Figure 14-19), The gloveless reel should be greater than 20 times the width of the reel to avoid excessive wear of the wire rope and the groove edge of the guide pulley;
The electric winch can be used alone or as a component in machinery such as lifting, road construction and mine hoisting. It is widely used because of its simple operation, large rope winding volume and convenient displacement. Mainly used in construction, water conservancy projects, forestry, mines, docks, etc. for material lifting or flat towing.
