How to use the electric winch correctly?
In the previous articles, the prices, questions and precautions for use of bridge cranes and gantry cranes were described more. Recently, there seem to be more customer problems with electric winches. This article will analyze the electric winches in detail.
The electric winch is driven by a gear reducer, which is mainly used for hoisting, pulling and unloading, and dragging heavy objects. Such as the installation and disassembly of various large and medium-sized concrete, steel structures and mechanical equipment.
It is suitable for civil construction and installation projects of construction and installation companies, mining areas and factories.

1. In the hoisting of equipment, the winch directly bears a large traction force, and we must pay enough attention when using it.
(1) Before use, carefully check whether all parts are intact, whether the oil volume and specifications of the gearbox meet the requirements, and whether there is oil in each lubricating part.
Generally, the gear box uses No. 30 oil, and the sliding bearing is lubricated with yellow dry oil. (The specific model should be subject to our company's requirements for machinery)
(2) Before driving, check whether the brake is flexible and reliable, and then manually turn the transmission system to check whether the rotation is hindered. After confirming that it is correct, it can be started and used.
(3) The place where the electric winch is placed should be equipped with a rain shelter, and the base should be raised with dunnage to prevent the electrical part from being damaged by moisture and affecting the normal lifting operation.
(4) The operator shall pass the examination and take up the post with a certificate.
It is necessary to understand the structure and performance of the electric winch, and to be familiar with the hoisting command signal.
During the operation, concentrate and command cautiously, and do not leave the post without authorization.
To truly achieve "three no openings", that is, the signal is not clear and cannot be opened; the current is overloaded and cannot be opened; the guiding pulley and the running rope cannot be opened by someone.
(5) When lifting the equipment, the number of remaining turns of the wire rope on the drum of the electric winch should be no less than 3 turns to ensure safety.
(6) The drum of the electric winch should match the diameter of the selected wire rope. Usually, the diameter of the drum should be 16 to 25 times the diameter of the wire rope.
(7) It is strictly forbidden to overload the electric winch to prevent personal and equipment accidents.
(8) When using multiple motors to hoist the equipment, its traction speed and lifting capacity should be the same, and unified command, unified action, and synchronous operation should be achieved.
2. Any machinery will have a certain amount of wear and tear after use, which is accompanied by some unavoidable common problems, as follows:
(1) After the brake is worn, the gap is too large, which affects the reliability of the brake. The gap should be adjusted or the accessories should be replaced in time.
(2) The bearing is overheated due to wear or poor lubrication. Depending on the situation, the lubrication should be improved or the bearing should be replaced.
(3) The bearing is heated due to the looseness of the bolts fixing the bearing, so the bolts should be tightened in time.
(4) Due to the heating of the overloaded motor or the heating of the motor bearing, it is necessary to stop and cool down, and refuel on time to reduce the load.

The above is the introduction of the relevant content of the electric winch. No matter what kind of equipment we use, we must have a certain understanding of the product before using it. If we can have a detailed understanding of the product, then we will be handy when using it. , so that the equipment can better serve our production.
