THEORY OF OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF WINCH
The winch is made up of the following sub-assemblies and
parts:
1. Hydraulic motor, brake valve and motor adapter
2. Drum and drum support assembly
3. Motor end support
4. Tie plates
5. Brake clutch assembly
6. Drive assembly with multiple disc parking brake and
internal gearing
DUAL BRAKE SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The dual brake system consists of a dynamic brake sys-
tem and a static brake system.
The dynamic brake system has two operating compo-
nents:
1. Brake valve assembly
2. Hydraulic motor
The brake valve is basically a counterbalance valve. It
contains a check valve to allow free flow of oil to the motor
in the haul-in direction and a pilot operated, spring load-
ed spool valve that blocks the flow of oil out of the motor
when the control valve is placed in neutral. When the con-
trol valve is placed in the pay-out position, the spool valve
remains closed until sufficient pilot pressure is applied to
the end of the spool to shift it against spring pressure and
open a passage. After the spool valve cracks open, the pi-
lot pressure becomes flow dependent and modulates the
spool valve opening which controls the lowering speed.
See Figures 1, 2, and 3.
The static brake system has three operating components:
1. Spring applied, hydraulically released multiple friction
disc brake pack
2. Brake clutch assembly
3. Hydraulic piston and cylinder
The static brake is released by the brake valve pilot pres-
sure at a pressure lower than that required to open the
pilot operated spool valve. This sequence assures that
dynamic braking takes place in the brake valve and little, if
any, heat is absorbed by the friction brake.
The friction brake is a load-holding brake only and has
nothing to do with dynamic braking or rate of descent of a
load. The inner race of the brake clutch is a splined cou-
pling between the motor and the primary sun gear. The
outer race is splined to the friction discs in the brake pack,
while steel separator plates are splined to the stationary
housing. The brake clutch allows this shaft to turn freely
