M Series - Modular Winch System
High Power Modular Winch System
The FTSI"M Series" winchs are a completely modular servo winch system featuring motor and control units that are capable of extremely high sustained speeds and loads. Each winch system is composed of three modular elements: The motor unit, the drum or driver unit, and the control unit. The motor and drum units are built into framing that is an exact match for standard 20.5" bolt-together aluminum truss, while the controls are either packaged in similar framing or as standard rack units. The motor and drum units bolt together in exactly the same manner as two pieces of truss, and the unique self-mating coupling assures a secure drive connection between the motor and the drum.
Users may select the power level of the motor unit and the type and size of drum unit or driver assembly that is required for their application. Additionally, multiple drum units may be rented with single motor and control packages to provide users with a variety of drive applications at a minimal cost. The modular nature of the system provides for a wide range of combinations, including standard single drums, multiple ganged drums, "endless" friction drive drums, and belt and chain sprockets. Custom fitments of the couplings are also available for users needing to mate the power and motion control of the motor units to their owncustom machinery.
