Can you slow down a servo winch? I have an existing servo winch made from a hitec 645mg servo and heyok 3 position controller with a spool. Had this a long time and it works great but the spooling speed is just too fast. I'm using the winch to raise and lower implements on the front of a 6x6 rig (plow, snowblower) and I find the winch speed to be too fast for fine control. Curious if anyone had suggestions? In the end I may have to look at something like an rc4wd winch because I know the line speed is slower but I hate to give up on the power of my existing setup. Any recommendations are appreciated. |
Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? you might be able to lower the voltage a smaller spool would slow it down too if you have the abulity to set the end points on the channel or program that channel to 50% power and only run at part throtle in the end its just a motor and esc inside a servo housing if you use a cheap speed controler to control the winch you can set it up to pull at any speed you want ive herd some of the micro 1/24 escs have the foc like control if you realy want to go all out |
Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? Us a HW 1060 esc as your controller, by setting your EP you’re adjusting spool speed Hang up and Drive |
Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? I’ve seen plug in modules that slow down servos for planes, not sure how well it would work in combination with the HeyOK controller though. https://www.davesrce.com/product-pag...-speed-reducer |

Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? Thanks for all the ideas so far. A few things I forgot to mention. The channel on my radio is a 3 position slider vs a lever or dial. It doesn't have EPA capability. I had thought about a cheap ESC but being 3 position with EPA i wasn't sure that would work. |

Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? Any way you do it, you existing servo will produce less power if you don't use gears to slow it down. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk |

also i dont know if his servo is brushed or brushless |

Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? What voltage are you supplying the winch controller, and how is it getting from the battery to the controller? |
Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? I make a version of the winch controller that has variable speed. To set the speed, you adjust your end points. Or, if you would like, I could make one with a trimmer pot that you could rotate to set the speed. Just send me a PM or an email and we can work this out. Email is mostlyal@gmail.com Cheers, Al |

Re: Can you slow down a servo winch? Hi....In case I wanted more hat, and more slow speed, I would equip the result shaft, IE supplant the horn with a stuff and assemble a mount for a mating gear. A standard servo won't work in view of the restricted travel, however a winch servo may very well fill the bill. It has around a few turns on the drum which could be supplanted with a stuff and if you arrangement a 9 to 1 stuff proportion, you could check out force and much more slow result on the last shaft. a 9 to 1 proportion would give you around 120 levels of development for a three turn winch servo at multiple times the force. Presently, is a servo what you realy need, or do you want a stepper engine with driver? |
