GGOSS Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi G^2 working on reply for you. Thank you jO. Looking forward to it. I tried eng-tips also, but didn't get anything useful, unless ofcourse i'm missing the obviuos which could well be the case. Q. dc motor - Series or Shunt wound ? Speed/Torque Spec ? The motor in question is a Permanant Magnet DC Motor, however Series Wound Motors are also used on larger winches. Specific motor details are not available, although speed will be in the order of Drum RPM (80) x GB Ratio (68) or 5440 RPM. Assume drum is driven at stated drum shaft .... correct ? and is direct coupled to output shaft of gearbox ... correct. The drum shaft and gearbox shaft are one and the same. The drum shaft extends beyond the drum flange and enters the gearbox which has a hollow shaft. They lock together via a key way. Assume motor is direct connected to input shaft of Gearbox ... correct ? Yep, as stated above. Kind regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
