WINCH POWER AND MAXIMUM FORCE
To calculate the maximum force (F), first use the tables to find winch power (P). Assuming the efficiency is 70% and the maximum force exerted on the handle is 30 kg, the maximum force obtainable will be: F = 20xP (kg) i.e. twenty times the winch power. For example, for a model with a winch power 50, the maximum force would be F = 20x50 = 1000 Kg.rt.

Winch technical data
RECOVERY SPEED
The recovery speed (S) is the length of line recovered with one turn of the handle. It is the converse of the winch power (P), and can be calculated using the formula: S
= 1600/P (mm)
For example, a model with winch power 50 would have a recovery speed of S = 1600/50 = 32 mm for each 360° turn of the handle.
WINCH MOUNTING
Line drum lead angle: it is correct to provide an angle of between 2 and 10 degrees. It is advisable for the output gear of 2 speed models to be positioned with respect to pull direction, as shown in the figure (90°).
SPRING-LOADED SELF-TAILING
The new Self-Tailing winches with spring-loaded disks adapt automatically to even the thinnest lines. We recommend to put three or four wraps of line on the drum, otherwise
excessive load on the Self-Tailing disks could cause the line to slip.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the winch by removing any old grease with a solvent (e.g. using diesel fuel).
Spread a thin layer of marine grease on all moving parts. Grease will protect aluminium from corrosion (where contact with dissimilar metal occurs). It is useful to use
some grease especially on stainless steel screws, threads and stainless washers. For a complete documentation ask for the "Winch User’s Guide".
LUBRIFICATION
Antal uses Hydrolub (MOD. HDR) for winch and gear lubrication. This grease can be supplied (in 150 gr tubes) on request.
SPARE PARTS
Antal can supply you with a universal repair kit (MOD. XTKIT) suitable for all winch types, including 4 pawls and 4 pawl springs.
