Take-Up Winches

GENERAL INFORMATION

The DYMOT range of power take-up winches have been specially developed for use on long overland and underground conveyors and are ideally suited for use with automatic tensioning systems.

The unique design, using a combination of worm and epicyclic gears offer numerous advantages over the conventional designs.

The new design uses a failsafe disc brake with IP65 protection, this overcomes the problem previously encountered with rust which resulted in high maintenance and brake failure.

This design has also eliminated the need for a brake drum type coupling through the use of a double input shaft primary gearbox.

FEATURES

● The design and style of these winches are very compact, thus allowing easy positioning of the winch in the conveyor structure.

● The take-up winch speeds can be varied to suit customer’ requirements by simply changing the worm gear ratios.

● The combination of gears provides for greater mechanical protection due to the use of high

ratio worm gears which will help to resist runaways in the event of a brake failure.

● The use of a separate motor and brake allows the winch to remain locked in position while

a failed motor is repaired.

● The epicyclic final gear presents a massive face width of gear tooth to withstand the shock loads which can be encountered during belt start-up.
