2. Warn Industries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warn_Industries

   In the late 1950s, Warn Industries pioneered the development of the electric winch for use on a recreational vehicle. Previous to the electric winch, most users of four-wheel drive vehicles utilized a winch driven by a power take-off (PTO) system of hydraulic system. However, PTO and hydraulic winches will only operate if the vehicle is running ...

3. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

   Hydraulic solenoid valves are in general similar to pneumatic solenoid valves except that they control the flow of hydraulic fluid (oil), often at around 3000 psi (210 bar, 21 MPa, 21 MN/m 2). Hydraulic machinery uses solenoids to control the flow of oil to rams or actuators. Solenoid-controlled valves are often used in irrigation systems ...

4. Active heave compensation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_heave_compensation

   Hydraulic cranes can use hydraulic cylinders to compensate, or they can utilize a hydraulic winch. [4] [5] Hydraulic "active boost" winches control the oil flow from the pump(s) to the winch so that the target position is reached. Hydraulic winch systems can use accumulators and passive heave compensation to form a semi-active system with both ...

5. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

   Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

6. Winch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winch

   The winch is either controlled with a detachable cable, a button inside the car or wireless remote. Older vehicles may have a PTO winch, controlled via the car's transmission, a secondary clutch maybe used so the vehicle does not need to be moving while winching. Some winches are powered by the pressure generated in the hydraulic steering system.

7. Hydraulic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_motor

   Hydraulic motors usually have a drain connection for the internal leakage, which means that when the power unit is turned off the hydraulic motor in the drive system will move slowly if an external load is acting on it. Thus, for applications such as a crane or winch with suspended load, there is always a need for a brake or a locking device.

8. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

   Fluid coupling on Transfluid's industrial transmission model KPTO. A fluid coupling consists of three components, plus the hydraulic fluid: . The housing, also known as the shell [5] (which must have an oil-tight seal around the drive shafts), contains the fluid and turbines.

9. Crank (mechanism) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank_(mechanism)

   Hand crank for a winch on a sailboat - commonly referred to as a winch handle. A crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. When combined with a connecting rod, it can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may be ...
