The Winch drum is driven by a 7.5 kW SEW electric Gearmotor through an output shaft. The drum motor Variable Speed Drive drives the

electric motor of the Drum with variable speed according to the control signals and rpm setpoint of the potentiometer. The non-drive side

housings the bearing and slipring. The Slipring is not within the scope of supply.

The SEW Electric Motor combination is fitted with a failsafe brake unit. The brake, being failsafe, always defaults to on should, for any reason,

the electrical supply is lost or the joystick is in its centre (neutral) position.

The level wind is electrically driven from the 0.37 kW SEW Electric Gearmotor. The level wind is PLC controlled, is automatic with a manual

override. The Level wind can be adjusted to accept a variety of cable diameters if required.

The winch is controlled via a joystick and speed potentiometer which are mounted locally on the Electric SSS Winch Enclosure and are

duplicated on the remote control console.
