Friction Drive WinchMotorized or manual operationDoes not use a Grooved Drum

Uses a keyed four groove Multi-sheave above and five idler sheaves below Cable is either an endless loop or both ends terminate at wagon

Drive: 2HP Motor with 25:1 Gear ReducerMotor Output: 1750 RPMGear Reducer Output: 70RPMTop Cable Speed: 3ft./sec.Shafts: 13/16” Roller Chain: #50

Operation of the winch can be changed from motorized to manual by shifting the roller chain from the sprocket on the Gear Reducer to the idler sprocket on the motor mount. By pulling the lower pins on the mount and pivoting the motor

mount on the upper bolts, the roller chain can be shifted to the idler.

A handle for manual operation can be attached to either end of the two shafts on the top of the winch unit.

In its current configuration, we have installed a additional 1.5:1 output reduction with the installation of a 20 tooth and 30 tooth sprocket on the two top shafts. This allows some choice of mechanical advantage if the winch is

operated manually. This additional reduction decreases the motorized top cable output to 2ft./sec.

Proper tension on the drive cable is controlled by drawing back the idler sheave assembly on the two threaded rods. This is done by using an impact wrench on the welded nuts on back end of each threaded rod.

A rotary encoder is attached with #25 roller chain and sprockets to the drive sheave to enable positioning

control with our PLC system. This can be interchanged with a mechanical counter if needed for manual operation

Developed and Developed and designed by Stephen designed by Stephen Henson at California Henson at California

State University State University FullertonFullerton

with special thanks to Bill Meyer, Matthew McKinney and Scott Shiba for various creative influences during the process

of development

Prototype winch -Form followed function purely-Used with a sprocket instead of three-grooved sheave, for direct chain-drive-Two plates punched to be bolted to the gear box, welded to a cross member punched for hangers

Version 2.0 winch-Rotated motor 90 degrees-Added two vertical angle irons for pushing motor away from batten-Allowing for three-grooved sheave with a double sheave hung above directly from batten (not shown)-Crudely mounted mule blocks for directing cables along batten to scenery-Rotary Limit Switch and Junction box mounted to motor mount plate

View of completed winch frame

-Top plate is designed to facilitate standard Batten hangers, as well as suspend a swivel double sheave

-Slotted flat bars accommodate multiple positions for head blocks as well as twisting into alignment with three-grooved sheave

-Center plates are punched accordingly for mounting gear box with encoder and motor suspended from gearbox

-Bottom of frame has additional steel structure for mounting rotary limit switch and junction box containing RJ45 connectors.

-Head block assembly is punched with extra holes to allow for flexibility with parts
