Winches

[bs7280]

Hello all,

I am trying to find a winch online that can be modified to use with a cim motor.

My main criteria are that it can be turned forwards and reverse, to allow for the level of rotation to be adjusted. I also want it to use a worm gear, that way the tenstion in the arm will not affect it's position if the motor is not actively fighting it.

So far I have been able to find some good winches online that can satisfy these requirements. But the one of the most crucial things that we need in a winch is turning out to be a lot harder to find than I expected, that being the ability to release a clutch (if you will) allowing the cable to turn freely. If we could find something that could do all of this available to purchase online, that would be awesome! But we are open to possibly making our own from scratch (possibly with an existing gearbox) if we really have to, as we have the tools to do that (lathe, cnc mill, mills, etc..)

Stay warm and good luck,
