INTRODUCTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION
The Rufnek series planetary winch is designed to use a high-speed gear motor,
driving through a multiple disc brake, through three planet sets to the cable drum.
The multiple-disc brake is spring applied and hydraulically released through a port in the
brake housing. During inhaul, the brake is not released since the load is driven through
the one-way cam clutch, bypassing the brake. When the load comes to a stop, the cam
clutch locks up and the load is prevented from moving by the brake.
The brake and brake valve receives its signal any time the winch is in pay out. With
the brake fully open at about 340 PSI the brake valve will open and dynamically control
the lowering of the load.
ASSEMBLY NUMBER EXPLANATION
This manual is for design series 004. In the case of a major design change
implementation, a new design series designation number will be issued for the winch. A
new manual will also be created for that specific design series.
