Zollern
Stand C01-02d Germany’s Zollern will be presenting its new generation of electric rope winches. The driving heart of these winches is the synchronous motor, developed and manufactured in-house. The new series comprises five motor sizes with a power output ranging from 60 kW to 210 kW. The maximum speed attained is over 4000 revs/min. The motor housing is permanently water-cooled, ensuring optimum operating conditions. The new series benefits from an extremely compact build and a mass moment of inertia which is low for electric motors. At 97% these motors are very efficient.
