Airship Winch

The Airship Winch is a high-performance tethering system engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of aerostat and blimp operations. Whether for aerodynamic load simulation, dynamic flight testing, or routine launch and recovery, this winch provides the precision control and safety assurance required for aerospace applications.

Designed for mobility and independence, the winch features a fully self-contained power system. By utilizing a high-efficiency DC Brushless Frequency Conversion Motor and an integrated High-Power Battery Pack, it eliminates the need for external generators, making it the perfect solution for remote field missions.

Key Features & Operational Advantages

  • Self-Powered for Remote Missions
    • The Tech: Powered by a built-in High-Power Battery Pack driving a DC Brushless Motor.
    • The Benefit: Delivers up to 4 hours of continuous operation without external power supply. This energy-saving, eco-friendly design ensures your Airship Winch is ready to operate anywhere, from remote deserts to offshore platforms.
  • Heavy-Duty Transmission (K-Series)
    • The Tech: Incorporates a robust K-Series Helical-Bevel Gearbox.
    • The Benefit: Provides superior transmission efficiency and high load-bearing capacity. It ensures smooth torque delivery even under heavy tension (up to 8000kg), guaranteeing stable performance during critical launch and recovery phases.
  • Real-Time Flight Data Monitoring
    • The Tech: Equipped with integrated Tension Sensors (Force) and Meter Counting Sensors (Length), displaying data on a rugged LCD Screen.
    • The Benefit: Operators can monitor rope tension and deployed length in real-time. This feedback is essential for maintaining flight stability and validating experimental data during dynamic performance tests.
  • Precision Control & Safety
    • The Tech: Advanced frequency conversion control with sensor feedback loops.
    • The Benefit: Ensures accurate rope deployment and retrieval speeds. The system guarantees the safety of the aerostat by preventing over-tensioning and allowing for precise altitude adjustments.
