Motorische Forstwinde mit hydrostatischem Antrieb in modularer Bauweise
Falkner Maschinenbau GmbH developed a small cable winch, which becomes an independent, portable working device by attaching a chainsaw. The concept should now be converted to a hydrostatic drive. As far as possible, the same technical data as for the existing winch should be reached. It should also be possible to operate the winch unit with the hydraulic connections of agricultural and forestry vehicles.
The reason why this project has been initiated is mainly because of the costly drive. The chainsaw is much more expensive compared to the combustion
engine used in the pumping set. In addition, they wanted to modernise this long-standing product. The pumping set and the drive are designed to be
portable.
The results are now a conceptual model of the hydraulic unit and a modelling of the pumping set and the cable winch unit in the 3D program. The new winch now has the same values as the existing winch when fed by the tractor hydraulics. If the connection is made with the pumping set, the tensile force is the same but the speed of the rope on the drum is lower. The system fulfils all the required criteria. The product can pull, hold and the rope drum can unwind automatically. The rope can also be handled manually by the built-in idle. The pumping set and the winch unit can be connected to each other.
