Electric XT winches

ELECTRIC WINCHES

All Antal winches, from model XT40 to model XT70, maxi W80.3 ST and W90.3ST can be fitted with an electric motor. The models with a chromed drum are usually fitted with motors, as they are more suitable for heavy-duty applications but, on request, the aluminium drum can be “reinforced” by applying a special toothed crown gear of high resistance alloy or 316 s.steel.

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MOTORS

All the winches may be equipped with a horizontal motor and gearbox with a worm screw. The largest models may be supplied with a vertical motor which uses a high-efficiency hypocycloid speed reducer. Both solutions have been studied to ensure particularly compact dimensions and maximum silent operation.

MANUAL USE

Simply insert the handle to disconnect the gearbox-motor unit.

Greater safety: accidental starting of the motor does not affect the winch, avoiding dangerous turning of the handle.

Greater efficiency: the gearbox-motor unit does not turn in manual use, avoiding needless friction.

SPEED

Electric winches maintain two speeds both in manual use (inverting the direction of rotation of the handle) and in electric use (pressing one of the two control buttons). It is of fundamental importance to be able to choose the most suitable speed for the manoeuvre that you want to perform; this allows fast recovery of the first part of the manoeuvre and more careful regulation in the final stage. In electric winches the speeds are higher than in manual use. The recovery speed, indicated in the tables, is measured without a load; in the presence of the maximum load, a speed reduction of up to 30% must be considered. All our electric winches are self tailing and come supplied with a chrome-plated drum.

Electric winches are now available also in the standard aluminium version (/AL): in these models there is a highly resistant and harder toothed crown gear that guarantees efficiency and a long life for the winch mechanism.
