1. MotorElectric winch motor is driven by the vehicle's battery. Its power will be pasted to the mechanical transmission device, and then lead the electric winch drum to turn and wind the cable.
2. Wire Rope
2. Wire Rope
The originally-designed carrying capacity of the cable determines its diameter and length (usually the cable material we used is cable.) Cables wound on the electric winch's drum and through the cable. We need shape the end of the cable into cyclic annular in order to link the anchor ring.
3. Winch Drum
Electric Winch cable is a cylindrical device that used to wind the cables. It is operated by the motor. The winch cylinder can change its turning direction under the remote control.
4. Wirelead
When the electric winch has a certain angle, the wireleads can guide the cable around the winch drum. It will likely reduce some dangers and damages for bracket or bumper in the cases of recycling. So the wireleads always are installed outside the winch frame or bumper.
5. Gear Train
5. Gear Train
Three groups of planetary gear constitute a transmission mechanism. It converts the energy produced by the motor into strong traction. The transmission mechanism system makes the electric winch more lighter and compacter.
6. Braking System
When the motor stops working and the cables are loaded, the system will automatically lock tightly the drum. This may prevent cables from slipping loosely.
7. Clutch
Clutch of the electric winch can be operated by hand, changing the situations of drum and turning system being in free and lock. So that can avoid drum transforming alone.
8. Control Box
8. Control Box
Control box can change the battery power into kinetic energy by electromagnetic coils. That can change the transforming direction of the electric winch. Some electric winches fix the control box in the winch inside structure. People also can install it in appropriate position to make sure that the system can stand strong electric current.
9. Remote Control
Controller plugged into the electric winch control is used to control direction of rotation It allows users keeping away from the cables and avoiding dangers.
