Cable pulling winches- the concept, mechanism and common applications

Cable pulling winches are the advanced mechanism that allows the winding/unwinding of the cables. The article would boost your knowledge about the concept of winches, its mechanism and common applications.

The Cable Pulling Winches are mechanisms that are applied either to wind or unwind or alternatively to adjust the tensions for the wire rope or the cables. If you get to the simplest version, the mechanism features a spool that has a hand crack attached to it.  In bigger scales, the winches occupy the central position in the framework, as evident in the cases of the steam shovels, tow trucks or the elevators. You can call the spool alternatively as the winch drum. In advanced design, there is the assembly of the gears that runs of electrical power input.

Technical specification

A cable pulling capstan winch comes with 5 ton capacity. It is self-sufficient and is mounted on two wheeled trolley. It also comes with acoustic proof canopy loaded with 1000m of wire rope and total auto control setup. This winch also has load protection, speed protection, and auto/manual control.

Explaining the mechanism

The rope, usually, gets stored on the winches; while trimming the lines of the sailboat, the crew turns the handle of the winch, single handedly while, the tail end gets pulled with the other hand. This is done to balance the tension. In some cases, the winches feature the stripper for balancing the variable tension. Such mechanism is referred to as the self-tailing winch.
