This article describes the process of creating a homemade car winch with reverse and a supply voltage of 12 volts. The project is quite budgetary, and can be useful for off-road drivers, hunters, fishermen, in general, all those who like to drive on the road. According to the author, the lifting capacity of the winch was somewhere in the 500 - 1000 kilograms.
The following components will be required to assemble the winch:
- Starter from the VAZ-21015;
- Gearbox with gear ratio 1x20;
(in the presented project, a reducer from an old Soviet drill was used)
- Shaft with gear, gear ratio 1x5;
- A metal sheet with a thickness of 2-3mm, a size of approximately 400x600mm;
- Hairpin with thread 8-10;
- The control panel with 2 buttons;
- Cable 6 - 10 mm2, preferably 4-core, select the length yourself;
- The drum for the cable and the cable itself;
- Also welding works are used in the project;
To begin with, we disassemble the starter, we only need an electric motor from it:
Find a suitable gearbox:
Such an adapter is used to connect the gearbox to the electric motor:
Here's what happened:
Next, a protective casing is made of a metal sheet or a suitable pipe:
From the three components we collect the drum for the cable.
The bolt serves to fix the end of the cable:
Shaft, gear ratio in relation to the gearbox from the drill 1x5:
We cut out the side stops of the cable from sheet metal:
2 bearings were also used in housings:
We cut out the side mounts of the drum, drill holes for the studs:
Cable Guide:
We collect, and here's what happened:
Connection of the control panel is performed according to the following scheme:
Then all the components are painted, assembled and this is what we get in the end:
In using precisely this particular winch, the author points out one nuance in its operation: it must not be attached directly to the towing cable of the machine from which it is powered, it is necessary to use a current-conducting cable!
And it is also advisable not to turn off the engine auto when operating the winch so as not to put the battery in.
According to the author, the winch is tested, it works quite acceptable and with optimal speed.
