How electric winch works

The electric winch obtains power from the car battery (battery) to drive the motor, and then the motor drives the drum to rotate, the drum drives the drive shaft, and the drive shaft drives the planetary gear to generate a strong torque. The torque is then transmitted back to the drum and the drum drives the winch. There is a clutch between the motor and the reducer that can be switched by a handle. The brake unit is inside the drum and the drum is automatically locked when the cable is tightened.

The power of the winch motor is very small, at most 3-4 kW, but it can be turned into a powerful force through the reducer. Most of the winches use planetary gears as the reducer. The advantage is that the smaller the volume and the smaller the reduction ratio, the more the contact points of the gears and the longer the service life. Winch is usually installed in a narrow space, the smaller the lighter the better. Planetary gears can meet this requirement while producing a large reduction ratio.The electric winch obtains power from the car battery (battery) to drive the motor, and then the motor drives the drum to rotate, the drum drives the drive shaft, and the drive shaft drives the planetary gear to generate a strong torque.
