Electric winches are quite powerful and are frequently used on tow trucks, elevators, and 4WDs for vehicle recovery. A motor is used in electric winches to drive or power the drum that coils the wire. These electric motors are powered by electricity. Heavy lifting and tugging tasks are best suited for electric winches.
High performance is provided by the Yale Electric Winch, which has a small cube design. Its 0.55-1.1 kilowatt motor can lift loads of 250 to 1000 kg. The motor’s rotor revolves and outputs electrical energy, which is then used to drive the rotation of the hoist drum after being slowed down by the V-belt, shaft, and gear.
This is how an electric winch functions. A hand crank and a spool or drum are the basic components of a winch. They serve as the foundation for devices like elevators, steam shovels, and tow trucks. Winches are frequently offered with a motor that is either a 12V DC or a 110V AC.
A 110V winch works well for permanent operations because it may be plugged into an electrical outlet, like a marine railway. A 12V winch is the best option for portable applications or use with a vehicle acting as the anchor.
The Global electric winch market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Over 260 launches that were accomplished thanks to NOVA’s electric winch. Despite the limitations and delays brought on by the corona virus epidemic, a lot has occurred in the past few months about the product testing of the ELOWIN. Numerous mechanical and electronic parts have been improved for simplicity of maintenance and serial production.
Additionally, the software has been improved. Tows into the air have been made possible for numerous pilots by the electric winch in the meantime. At the Nordbayerische Drachen- und Gleitschirmfliegern (NBDF) Club in Siegritz and the Bamberger Gleitschirmclub in Hohenpölz, Germany, the winch’s improvements were evaluated using a pre-series model.
One can clearly see the enthusiasm and drive with which the tow pilots work to advance the electric winch by reading the corresponding ELOWIN stories on the two club websites. It’s also important to mention the excellent team spirit.
The winch could halt without any issues, continue the tow in a stationary position, and resume when the tow path is clear if there is traffic on it (a tractor, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.). And all the while tugging the pilot with continual effort.
When the throttle is opened, the energy produced is delivered back into the battery as a charging current rather of being “burned up” in a torque converter or a brake, as is typically the case. All participants were pleased with the ELOWIN’s simplicity of use and the safe, silent tows that may have broken records after the successful towing day.
In the future, the ELOWIN with batteries will be directly mounted to the towing vehicle, eliminating the need for a trailer.
