Mode of operation
The Nordforest capstan winch is a machine that is exclusively suitable
for pulling heavy loads over the ground.
The Nordforest capstan winch 1800 consists of an aluminium mounting
plate with capstan drum. A 4-stage planetary gear with two speeds
is integrated in the capstan drum of the capstan winch. The traction
in first gear is max. 1800 kg and the rope speed is 12 m/min, and in
second gear max. 900 kg and 24 m/min.
The Nordforest capstan winch 1200 and 400 consists of an aluminium
housing and capstan drum. In order to achieve better traction, the
capstan drum of the capstan winch 1200 and 400 is ribbed. A spur
gear is integrated in the aluminium housing of the capstan winch. The
traction of the capstan winch 1200 is max. 1200 kg with a rope speed
of 7.5 m/min. The traction of the capstan winch 400 is max. 400 kg and
the rope speed is 20 m/min. The capstan winch is driven by a 2-stroke
motor.
The Nordforest capstan winch is equipped with a fastening eye, through
which the capstan winch is secured to a sufficiently load-bearing coun
-
terweight, e.g. a tree, with a textile round sling. The fastening eye is
only designed for textile fastening slings. The pulling rope is attached
to the load and drawn into the Nordforest capstan winch.
In order to minimise the risk of injury, the rope winch is controlled from
outside the danger zone. The safe distance from the capstan winch is
at least 5 m. Before starting the pulling operation, you must start the
motor. If you pull the pulling rope by the free rope end, the control unit
is moved and the capstan drum starts to turn. Through uniform pulling,
the friction of the pulling rope on the capstan drum generates traction.
The traction is dependent on the Nordforest capstan winch model.
If you release the pulling rope, the capstan winch comes to a halt and
the pulling rope is held on the capstan drum by friction. This prevents
an undesired slipping back of the load. The load can be deliberately
released at any time.
