pedestals for winch
 

MECHANICAL DRIVE

    
 
The system is formed by a belt drive in the pedestal plus a mechanical drive (axles and gear box) from the pedestal to one, two or more winches, comprising:
1. Carbon fibre pedestal, with belt drive on toothed sheaves that are mounted on steel roller bearings.
2. Drive-box, which transmits the drive from the pedestal to the axle of the single winch.
3. Push-button, which turns the drive-box on and off, and permits to choose which winch to work on.
 
4. Aluminium drive shaft with black anodized ribbed end.
5. Aluminium universal joint with HR steel axles, mounted on both ends of the drive shaft, which enables to incline the shaft by large degrees.
6. Gear box in right and left hand version, bronze gears on ball/roller bearings, HR steel axles and black anodized aluminium box.

ROPE-RING DRIVE

    
 

A traditional mechanical drive with gears and shafts is expensive, complicated and heavy so only simple and straight runs are accepted.

A belt drive is restricted to short distances because it is necessary to avoid belt extensions and only short belts can be used. Moreover the belt does not work very well out of its plane and also in this case only simple runs are accepted.

A rope-ring drive is not only a light and cheap solution but it is also very adaptable, long and twisted runs with deviations for any direction are not a problem.

The rope-ring drive is a patent Antal.
