Hello, everyone.
I attach two photographs of a special winch that is often mounted on board large sailboats.
as you can see from the photos, the salient feature is to have the suspended cable postponed to 90°. i.e. the cable comes out parallel from the cable drum.
These winches are produced by many specialized companies, the one shown is Dutch, I suppose they are used to quickly insulate the frog.
they have courses ranging from 1 to 15 tons and are very fast.
The feature I care about, which I would like to copy, is the cable winding shuttle.
the mechanism that allows to wrap the cable in an orderly manner on a drum is arch-note (it is a double screw without end and a shuttle) but it is only studied to move back the cable and not to hold all the rope shot.
Do you have any idea how such a mechanism can work?
I thought of a screw recirculation of spheres, but is it possible, on the same axis to have a dx screw and a sx?
thanks for the help
