Modest principles last forever.

Some people see the worm gear as the poorer relative of the planetary gear winch. We do not agree. Yes it is a simple way of reducing speed, and it has some limitations but for a great number of applications worm gear winches are ideal. For non-continuous lifting or pulling loads up to 2,5 tonne at say 6 metres a minute they are the most cost effective and simple winch available.The most basic of all winches is the WF series. It is just a drive with a motor and a drum. For this reason the WF series are very compact and have the most competitive price level. The WF series are used in applications where little space is available and wire storage is relative low. A good example you might have never thought of, is the inside of an illumination mast, where a crown of lights is lifted and lowered with a built in Imatrans WF series winch, so the maintainance personal dont have to climb ladders to exchange the fillaments. But also industrial machines and automation processes profit from the compact WF series.

nd yes, we also make specials. Worm gear winches are very adaptable, they have appeared as man riding winches with double braking to securely lower people to the ground, or to catapult an artist at 130 metres a minute up and away in a circus tent. You want very low speed?, no problem, we use an extra step down gearbox in lieu of the worm gearbox. Operation at high temperatures or in the freezing cold of deep freeze storage, 5 kilo or 2500, 5 or 300 metres of rope we have done it, and we are certain there is plenty more to come.. So next time someone says "its only a worm gear winch", you know better.

n a daily base we are asked to produce something new or special. In general manufacturers will be reluctant to even start when the lot to develop is smaller than 10 pieces, let alone when we speak about single units. Imatrans realizes that requests for single units or smaller series are to be taken serious. We know were and when we started, and what made us the company we are today. The HEB-series have the most basic design and are build in a modular way. All options are possible and can easily be adapted to the basic design. Development now is reduced to simply adding or combining existing options with the basic design. Consequently we treat your request for a single unit with the same enthusiasm as a bigger series.

P-series
Non -options
All options are possible on the P-series, although the compact design with the gearbox shaft fixed to the winch frame, and the gearbox rotating at drumspeed. This makes options more expensive than in the other series.

B A

In heavy duty applications where space, or better the lack of space is an important issue,
the well considered design of the P-series is often a solution to the lifting problem. The P simply stands for planetary, because a planetary gearbox is mounted inside the winch drum. Having the gearbox inside the drum, means that the overall dimensions are reduced. The basic dimensions are shown in the tables on this page, but off course we can modify the design according to your specific requirements.

anufacturing winches means making a clever combinations of existing components. The planetary gearbox is the most important component used in today's winches. A feature of the Trasmital planetary gearbox is that it has a reinforced shaft with a set of conical roller bearings, capable of taking very high radial loads. The drum is not supported by an end bearing, making it look as if it's floating. The advantages are obvious. Reduced cost price, because part of a frame and the end bearing can be saved and as a consequence the winch is very compact. The wire can take off in any direction. Another feature is the modular motor adaptor, giving us the possibility by simply selecting the right adaptor to mount any electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. All the basic parts can be delivered from stock, so the VTF range can be considered a real quick delivery series.

ulling a load is fundamentally different from lifting a load. A load pulled in a horizontal plane can not cause danger when released. This is the reason why regulations for pulling winches differ a lot from regulations for lifting. Pulling winches allow for a declutch possibility and the drum diameters are allowed to be smaller than with lifting tools. The main advantage is that with a smaller drum diameter, we can get a higher force (line pull) than with a bigger drum diameter, using the same size of gearbox. With a declutch we can spool off the steel wire freely and relieve the gearbox from high static loads (holding capacity) when the drum is held by a bandbrake. With a de-clutched drum, we can also use the driving shaft running through the drum for another purpose. Often this almost free advantage is used to mount a warping head (horizontal capstan, bottom left drawing).

Non-options
Electric motor Air motor Coupling/drum de-clutch Other options like press roller, upper and lower limit switch etc. are always to be discussed in cooperation with the customer, since there is no frame on which to fasten these options.

ost winches can be considered stand alone units. If there is a solid foundation, the winch frame can be fastened to the foundation. But if the foundation is part of a machine, for example the jib of a crane, why not use it as the winch-frame. It saves space and money and it looks better. The CTF series are winches without a frame, developed for OEM crane-building. Cranes are very often production tools, think of harbors, offshore platforms, mining etc. So called power applications where speed is an important way to improve the results. The high speed in the CTF is obtained by hydraulic motors from Danfoss on the series 700 and 1500 and for the series 1750 upto 30000 Rexroth motors are build on. Both the fail safe multi-disc brake and the "nose" of the motor are integrated in the gearbox, to build as compact as possible. Even though we use the motors that in general are considered to be the upper-end of the market, we will surprise you with the very agreeable price level of the CTF series.

Things other people do better. We think we can build you good, excellent value for
money, winch, almost regardless of its specification. For some types of winches however other people simply do a better job than we. The notable exceptions are hand winches, and very compact hydraulic crane winches. Located in one particular region in the north of Italy a small number of companies are in fierce competition to make the best and most competitive hydraulic crane winches world wide. We represent the smallest but most dedicated manufacturer (TMA) which has three different series of winches. The TN type is the most compact type. It has been a long time favourite of the pile driving business as an auxiliary winch for lifting piles and general light lifting work. Also for use on compact marine cranes or indeed on truck mounted cranes. If you are looking for a very compact winch with amazing performance for its size, this is it.

he heavy type covers what is effectively the middle field in the TMA programme, both in capacity as in weight. Swls from 1,5 tonne to 7,5 tonne, combined with speeds of around 20 to 40 m/min. It is a competent performer for applications were a medium lifting capacity is required albeit not at the speed of the fast type but at a more competitive price.

he fast type covers a range of winches starting with a 3,5 tonne model, and ending with an impressive 16 tonne swl model. The speeds are between 40 and 60 m/min , but these are maximum speeds, and the winches can indeed run much slower for accurate lifting and lowering. These winches are not designed for compactness or lightness, in spite of the fact that there is a "heavy" type available, these are the fastest and biggest winches in the TMA line up.

Capstans for marine and industrial purposes

This picture shows a brand new replica of an historic capstan. To respect the characteristic view of the Port de Marseille. No other than the current capstans were allowed on site. Again a good example that we build what the customer asks for, rather than to sell what is available.

Capstans have been part of ships equipment for centuries, and were
once the main means of hoisting anchors, sails or cargo. The only thing left from those days of hard manual labour are shantie songs, and stories about wooden ships with men of steel sailing them. The modern capstan is motor driven and can achieve high line pulls and high speeds thanks to powerful motors integrated with sturdy transmissions. Electric, hydraulic or pneumatic, the choice is yours. We do a wide range of capstans ranging from flush fitted deck capstans for a clean deck line to the classic console mounted capstan. Also very popular proved to be our horizontal capstans used in varying roles from pulling rolling stock on shunting yards in Belgium to moving cable ferrys in deepest Africa. You want a standard electric capstan? we are happy to supply one. Or rather an exotic capstan no one can supply? we can help 100 kg line pull we have them, 10 tonne yes, those too.

Motors
What motor is the best motor to use for a winch, and why?
The choice for the right motor depends mainly on the available power source. Mobile applications like earth moving machines, piling equipment and mobile cranes normally have a hydraulic power source, they don't carry high power compressors or generators. For these applications a hydraulic motor is selected. Stationary applications, most of the time can obtain power from the main grid, also on ships the electric power sources become more and more powerful, so an electric motor would be the right choice. Than we have the so called hazardous environments, where explosions might occur, think of exploitation of natural sources, mining on and off-shore oil and gas. Air motors are very common in these fields. Advantages and disadvantages. Electric motors are clean, world wide obtainable, maintenance free, very good speed control possibilities, modification options, high pull out torque. Brakemotors > 30 kW become expensive. Hydraulic motors above ca 15 kW more compact than electric motors, high torque, easy fail safe brake adaptation especially > 600 Nm, relatively cheap. Hydraulic oil and environment. Air motors are clean and don't require an hydraulic power pack in a hazardous environment. Expensive, low pull out torque, Limited power, up to 22/23 kW. Each winch motor needs a control, after all motors are machines and they don't start moving unless they are told to do so (or to stop for that matter). The manner to control the winch depends on its task. Is it a stand alone lifting tool or a part of a complete automated process, to name just two extremes. There are no "standard" controls. You can express exactly what is needed. This can vary from the cheapest basic control, to a completely computerized control system. Some control options are shown on page 18.

Power
Power is the ability to deliver a certain performance in a certain time. Speed (V) and load (F) combined, can be expressed in power (P in Kw) by a mathematical formula: P = (V x F) / 6120 V in meters/min. , F in Kg (1 Kg = ca. 10 Newton), 6120 is constant.

The theoretical value can easily be calculated, but in practice we need to install sufficient power to overcome efficiency losses. Cable on sheaves, cable on drum, gearbox, motor electric or hydraulic and the supply lines all create losses. To overcome these losses we need to install extra power. In the power chart we already accounted for an average loss, so the power you find in the graph is roughly the installed power.

Installed electric motor will be 90 kW Hydraulic required, with available 300 liter/min, a pressure of 190 bar is needed. Or; When we only have 150 liter/min. available oil flow, we need to go to a pressure over 360 Bar. Please check the available pressure and flow in hydraulic applications and make sure it suits the power chart's requirements.

Winch selection
The basic winch-data in this catalogue, are based on the international FEM classification. Note that some local regulations might differ from these standards. This will help you to select the proper winch for the required application, and to understand the philosophy behind the data in this catalogue. "seems" to have the right capacity. The Imatrans catalogue roughly guides you to select a winchtype, with linepull linespeed, drumtorque and FEM rating.

FEM rating
Once we know; What has to be lifted, the load in Kg or in Newtons

Some winches are seldom used, others quite often and some have to work all day. A basic 500 kg winch, lifting the 500 kg once or twice in its lifetime, will have an unlimited life, whereas the same winch working 24 hours a day might not last for a year.

(1 Kg = 9,8 N.) Is the load always the same, or does it vary? If the load changes we need to know the percentage off load in relation to the percentage in time.

Linespeed and drumtorque

The linespeed of the winch is an important issue, because there is a direct link between linespeed and life-time. Basically the life-time is based on the drumtorque and total number of drumcycles. Any linespeed value in the catalogue can be changed according to customers request. Increasing the linespeed, with the same drumtorque, reduces the amount of time to reach the total number of drumcycles, thus reduces the life-time.

For example: Max load 500 kg, use 20% off the time. Average load 400 kg, use 70% off the time. Minimum load 200 kg, use 10% off the time. With this "load spectrum" you can work out the Spectrum factor Km.

Once we have worked out the average daily use and load, we can "FEM- rate" the winch. In general the Imatrans wormgear winches are rated FEM M3/M4. The planetairy winches are rated FEM M6/M7. If a

Increasing or decreasing the drumtorque by altering linepull or drumdiametre, has an even more dramatic (exponential) effect on the winches life-time. (time is considered to be working time, standing still does not matter) For this reason its important to know how and how often the winch will be used, rather than just to select a winch that according the catalogue

lower FEM rating is allowed, because the winch will be seldom used or the max. load is seldom lifted, we could select a smaller transmission, or up-rate the winch capacity. Should the winch be for heavy-duty and work very often, we need to select a bigger transmission, or de-rate the winch capacity. 20

The formula
Km = ((F1/Fmax)3 x (t1/T)) + ((F2/Fmax)3 x (t2/T)) + ((F3/Fmax)3 x (t3/T)) etc. Example: Winch max load 2000 kg Winch life request 1000 hours Winch use 1 hour/day 10 % time at 1800 kg, 30 % time at 1200 kg, 60% time at 1000 kg In this example the Km factor (winch use) will be; Km = ((1800/2000)3 x 0,1) + ((1200/2000)3 x 0,3) + ((1000/2000)3 x 0,6) = 0,21 Km = 0,21 (table 3) leads to symbol L2 The use and life-expectancy (table 2) leads to symbol T3 The FEM classification (table 1) leads to symbol M3 The FEM rating for this application is T3-L2 M3

We must be carefull not to make selecting winches to difficult. From experience we learned that very often the people working with the winch, cannot always give all the details, they simply want the 5 tons winch, running 10 meters/min. In that case our catalogue at least provides the information about the "real" winch capacity. The request sheet (page 22) might help you to get as many as possible answers for a proper selection. The Imatrans technical and commercial staff is glad to verify your selection and discuss all possibilities to design and produce your "taylor made" winch.
