If appropriate, winch and hydraulic selection and specification is input using a window in the takeup tab. The configuration of mechanical components for the takeup design is accessed as "Step 3" of defining the takeup.

The fixed and gravity takeup types do not have winch or hydraulic data, so this page is not accessible with these types.

Winch

Based on the required belt tension, motor max speed, gearbox ratio, and drum diameter, the program will suggest a motor size. The user can supply the actual motor data. Based on this data the program will calculate an maximum drum speed, maximum roper speed  and maximum winch force.

•For informational purposes only, the program suggests an approximate rope diameter (additional calculations are required to finalize this value).

•The number of layers of rope is used to estimate the drum diameter.

•A brake can be applied on the takeup to stop the carriage movement while stopping to increases belt tension.
