Hydraulic winches dominate heavy-load handling across industries due to their unmatched power density and reliability. Unlike electric winches limited by motor heat dissipation, hydraulic systems leverage pressurized fluid (typically 2,000-6,000 PSI) to deliver continuous torque output. This makes them indispensable for offshore rigging, mining operations, and rescue vehicles where failure isn't an option.
The HPU acts as the system's "heart," comprising:
- Axial piston pump: Delivers 40-200 L/min flow at 95% volumetric efficiency
- Accumulator: Maintains pressure during pump switching (N₂-charged bladder type)
- Filtration system: Dual 10μ & 3μ filters with contamination sensors
Critical torque calculations:
T = (ΔP × V)/20π
Where:
T = Output torque (Nm)
ΔP = Pressure differential (bar)
V = Motor displacement (cm³/rev)
Common motor configurations:
| Type | Construction | Breaking Strength | Fatigue Life |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6x36 WS IWRC | 6 strands | 200 kN/mm² | 50,000 cycles |
| 8x19 Seale | 8 strands | 220 kN/mm² | 35,000 cycles |
