High Powered Modular Winch System
The FTSI "M Series" winches are a completely
modular servo winch system featuring motor and control
units that are capable of extremely high sustained speeds
and loads. Each winch system is composed of three
modular elements: The motor unit, the drum or driver
unit, and the control unit. The motor and drum units
are built into framing that is an exact match for standard
20.5" bolt-together aluminum truss, while the controls
are either packaged in similar framing or as standard
rack units. The motor and drum units bolt together in
exactly the same manner as two pieces of truss, and
the unique self-mating coupling assures a secure drive
connection between the motor and the drum.
Users may select the power level of the motor unit and
the type and size of drum unit or driver assembly that
is required for their application. Additionally, multiple drum
units may be rented with single motor and control packages
to provide users with a variety of drive applications at
a minimal cost. The modular nature of the system provides
for a wide range of combinations, including standard single
drums, multiple ganged drums, "endless" friction drive
drums, and belt and chain sprockets. Custom fitments of
the couplings are also available for users needing to mate
the power and motion control of the units to their own
custom machinery.
