Winch automation?

Question

Do it yourself

Hello to everyone who has some kind of life hack or tips for automating a winch, I thought the engine was from a windshield wiper, but I wondered if a 0.8t winch would pull a 4mm cable.

Answer 1

Without a clear TK, the result will be HZ.
To do it all by hand, you will need a certain amount of skills in metalworking ( welding-grinder-drill ), electrical installation, and possibly electronics, if you want smarter control than a wired back and forth remote control.
In any case, you will need a gear motor, 300 watts, or maybe more - you need to look at what load these winches pull.
All power calculations fit into school physics. To calculate the required power, you need a drawing (with dimensions!), Containing the winch, how the cable goes and what and how it moves.

Answer 2

On the same Ali, you can find a ready-made electric winch. And it will be more correct and easier.

Answer 3

There is no specific data, what power is needed, at what speed and for how long it will work without interruption ... IMHO - you need to install an engine with a gearbox, you can even take a motor with a built-in gearbox from Ali - there is a very large ratio, but I don't know if it will take the load. Well, if you take a gearbox with a low motor power and a large ratio, it can and will work, but very slowly. Also, a power reserve is needed, because. can easily overheat.
