The tension reduction capacity is related to the wrap angle between the cable and the winch, and the friction coefficient between the two. At present, the winch device mainly focuses on the wrap angle between the winch and the cable, and the cable and rope groove materials to control the tension reduction. The patent involved [A three-capstan traction winch, 202310282425.5, under trial], this type of three-capstan traction winch structure controls the wrap angle by winding the cable between the main, slave and small capstans.
