In electric winches, the winch fairlead is a key component. Its function is to guide the wire rope to be neatly arranged on the drum to prevent the wire rope from being messed up and worn. So how should the fairlead be selected for different winches? Generally speaking, the larger the model of the electric winch, the greater the tension it needs to withstand, so the size of the fairlead also increases accordingly. These aspects need to be considered when making specific choices.
Required tension: Select the appropriate electric winch model and the corresponding fairlead size according to the actual traction requirements. Generally speaking, the greater the required tension, the larger the model and the larger the size of the fairlead should be selected.
Operating environment and use requirements: Different operating environments and use requirements also affect the size of the winch fairlead. For example, when used in humid environments such as ships, a fairlead made of a material with good corrosion resistance should be selected; when frequent traction operations are required, a fairlead with good wear resistance should be selected to extend the service life.
