  • Trailing cable winch and method of operation
    Patent number: 6601791
    Abstract: Trailing cable winch and method of operation in which an axially stationary, rotating winding arm is disposed in a carrier tube and driven by a motor arranged in the carrier tube. The trailing cable winch is operable to deposit a trailing cable on an axially reversibly movable cable drum which is disposed on the carrier tube. The rotation of the winding arm is synchronized with the advancing of the cable drum, so that, during a linear movement of the cable drum, the advance per rotation of the winding arm corresponds exactly to the diameter of the trailing cable. In the end position of the cable drum, two cable layers are deposited above one another.
