General Manual Electric Winches with UMPH rope-English Rev.1.1 – 10-12-2014
2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 GENERAL
Depending on the specifications EMCÉ winches are mend for lifting and/or pulling materials and/of person. The
application of the winches is mentioned on the winch tag plate and the winch datasheet (see annex 1).
Any other use than mentioned on the tag plate or winch datasheet excludes EMCÉ of every responsibility.
2.2 SPECIFICATIONS
Identification data and specifications are mentioned on the identification plate attached to the winch. This data
can be copied to the plate on the back cover of this manual for your reference.
The applicable ATEX classification for the winch can be found on the EMCÉ ATEX certificate (see
annex 1). Although some components of the winch could have higher classifications than on the
EMCÉ ATEX certificate is mentioned the winch may only be used according to the classification on the
EMCÉ ATEX certificate as this certificates is based on the combination off all components on the
winch. In case of doubt please contact EMCÉ or your local dealer.
Standard winches are designed for an ambient temperature of 0° to +40° C. Optional motors can be supplied
for ambient temperatures of -20° to +55° C. Before use check the winch datasheet (see annex 1) for the
applicable design temperature of your winch. In case of doubt please contact EMCÉ.
Standard electric winches have motors with protection class IP 54. These winches are suitable for indoor use.
For outdoor applications onshore IP 55 motors can be supplied. For offshore applications motors with protection
class IP 56 TENV can be supplied.
2.3 OPTIONS
EMCÉ winches can be supplied with a large number of options. The most common options are mentioned
below in this paragraph.
Limit switch:
The safety devices engineered to keep the range of load movements within stated limits. They may be made by
revolution counter or sensors. Limit switches are mandatory for lifting applications but only fitted on request.
Pressure roller:
The device engineered to avoid the loosening and the self unwinding from the drum of a slack wire;
Slack Rope device:
The device engineered to avoid a slack rope by stopping the winch.
Load limiting device:
The safety device engineered to prevent the winch from lifting loads exceeding the allowed maximum or from
being subject to abnormal loads. Before delivery the load limiting device is pre-rated by EMCÉ to the maximum
allowed load stated on the winch datasheet. A load limiter is mandatory for lifting applications but only fitted on
request.
Drum guard:
This option prevents that persons near the winch can touch a rotating winch drum. A drum guard is mandatory
on a winch located in an easily accessible position but only fitted on request.
Bandbrake:
Bandbrakes can be provided manually or failsafe automatically by means of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
Bandbrakes are used for applications where a second brake, a drum brake is required. By instance for man
riding applications or for applications where the static load is a multiple of the dynamic working load limit. An
application of the second could be a rope anchor winch.
