Winch Drives

Brevini planetary gear units, with rotating outer casing, are designed to be fitted into the winch drum: the PWD series for drive applications from 3 to 12 tons and the SLW-SCW series for applications exceeding 12 tons. These winch drives have two flanges close together: one is bolted to the fixed winch frame and the other is bolted to the drum, thereby serving as its first support. The drum and winch frame come in any shape and size: the only engineering restriction is the spigot on the flange coupling when fitted. The winch drives are attached to the drum with bolts inserted from the motor side to permit easy, immediate access to filling, level and drain plugs. Thanks to the caterpillar seals, all units are protected against adverse environments and can be treated against sea corrosion with an epoxy paint coating.
