Very nice Bob, hard to believe that little cable pulls that big barge! Paul Thanks Paul. Yup, the cable doesn't look very beefy. I assume they need to be gentle with it, especially in heavy seas. Found it! This is a link to a 4-page PDF describing using a variable speed drive on an off-shore tug's winch. The bottom line is that the drive maintains a reasonable tension on the tow line by feeding out and reeling in the line so it doesn't snap. That's how they can get away with such a thin cable. The PDF is copyrighted, otherwise I would post it. http://www.systems-interface.com/pdf/MARVP-AP003A-EN-E_WEB.pdf Bob Interesting, thanks Bob! Paul |
