Skylaunch Evolution Electric

Description

Powerful, Compact, Asynchronous Motor
A speed sensor & a very low mass moment of inertia ensure vibration-free & quickly responding torque & rope force control with a constantly small deviation.
Maximum utilization of the rope force without overloading the predetermined breaking points.
Hardly any drop in rope strength, even at high rope speeds, in order to enable a safe transition to climbing & safe launches even with a tailwind component.
Reduced mass on trucks & soft floors, can be mounted on car trailers.

AGM Batteries As A Performance Buffer
High charging & discharging currents, even at high or low temperatures.
Compact dimensions.
Greatly reduced weight.
Higher wind mobility.
More operating days, as the winch can also be used on softer ground.
Replacing the batteries less cumbersome.
50 – 100% longer service life than standard starter batteries.
Absolutely maintenance-free.
Sealed, no level checks & no refilling necessary.
Very low self-discharge, therefore no recharging required during the winter break.
Increased security.
No release of acid or oxyhydrogen.
Connections covered with protection against accidental contact.

Frequency Converter
Commercial type from large series production.
Tested, conforming to standards & quality assured.
Worldwide dealer & service network for all components.
Controlled automatic braking of the cable drum when the minimum tension is not reached.

Proven Operating Elements & Aids For The Winch Driver
Handy h&-operated throttle.
H& rest & damper to avoid cavalier starts.
Automatic reset when released.
Spring-loaded stop.
Pre-selection of aircraft type & headwind component.

Additional Advantages Of An Electric Drive
Less vibration & noise emissions.
Lower fatigue effects in the winch driver, especially with high numbers of starts & long services.
Less groundwater-polluting & flammable operating liquids as a result of a lack of fuel, engine & hydraulic oils & coolants.
No emission of exhaust gases at the place of use.
No odour nuisance & respiratory strain.
Use of low-emission power plants or alternative energy sources possible.
Simplified operation.
Warm-up phase is omitted.
The drive regulates the rope force automatically, without the winch driver having to correct the height & the wind, for example.
No storage facilities for fuel required.
The refuelling process & the handling of flammable & explosive substances are no longer necessary.
Low maintenance of an asynchronous electric motor.
There is no need to change engine & hydraulic oils or coolant.
No typical wearing parts required.
On the motor side, only the two motor bearings need to be re-lubricated annually using a grease gun.
Reduced operating costs due to lower energy prices.
