Hello Wakeskate-Team,
I've got a couple of questions about your „new team-member, the bomb“
winch pulling an average wakeboarder?
Have you got any sort of safety-stop-system for your machine?
How many metres of water does it take you to pull the rider out of the water when doing a deep-water start?
What kind of breaks do you use for the winch?
Do you have an electrical starter for the motor?
What about the transmission? Do you use chains or does it work hydraulically?
For a deep-water start you obviously need a very high torque right at the beginning. What's your engineering sollution for that problem?
Have you got any experience in using your winch for snowboarding? Say you would like to use it for a big air event... you would need a very certain amount of speed just before the jump to get enough air to land at a certain distance. Is there any way to control that?
Looking foreward to hear from you! Cheers Max
Hello Max, write a PM to bachlonso or wakeskatedude at wakeskating.com for more information. short info:
the winch pulls everything, emergency stop button,
it depends on your skills there is more power then you can handle,
no brake necessary for wakeskating because the engine stops the spool in 5m at 30km/h,
no electric starter because of the battery weight but no problem,
transmission is a belt and a chain,
torque converter,
snowboarding without any problems,
for higher speeds you have to change the sprockets,
max speed at the moment is something around 35-40km/h,
we have a speedometer
dude
But can we buy it somewhere, and if yes what is the price?
portable winch speed, at first impression, seems rather slow, it certainly speeds up the whole job quite dramatically (while giving the operator a bit of a breather) - makes everything a hell of a lot easier
Hello,
Why do you use belt and a chain for the transmission, why not just use a longer belt?
I whant to know coz im building a similar winch and i tought of just using a belt.
Thanks for sharing! I found a great website if you are looking for more ideas: http://www.directindustry.com/industrial-manufacturer/electric-winch-60779.html. Hope you enjoy it!
Synthetic rope practically does not become wet and doesn't stretch, it doesn't sink in water and doesn't spring. pickup-world.com has various tutorials related to Ford Ranger Bumpers: A Comprehensive Guide | Pickup World.
Anyone and everybody wants to sell you rope. More interesting information on Uncategorized - Winches Direct.
