Abstract: A winch comprises a cable roll; a cable having one end fixed to the cable roll and another end configured to electrically connect an electric device to the cable, wherein the cable is further configured to provide the electric device with electric power and/or with data; a framework to which the cable roll is mounted; measuring means connected to the framework and configured to provide data related to the length of an unwound part of the cable; and processing means configured to control winding and unwinding of the cable based on data provided by the measuring means. The cable has a predetermined reference state at which a predetermined fixed reference point is at a reference position in relation to a coordinate system, wherein the length of unwound cable is defined as the distance measured along the cable, between the location of the predetermined fixed reference point and the reference position.

Abstract: A control method for a balancing lifting gear which includes a lifting motor that can be actuated by a controller and uses a control handle with a force sensor to lift and lower a load-supporting device. In a “Balance” operating mode, the load-supporting device, with or without a picked-up load, is raised or lowered by the controller in response to a force applied by an operator. In order to ensure disturbance-free handling of a load when removing or attaching a load, a “Pick-up” operating mode or an “Assemble” operating mode is selected, in which the load-supporting device is moved independently without the influence of the force of the operator by the controller in the lifting or lowering direction in dependence upon the signals determined by the force sensor. A balancing lifting gear which operates in accordance with the aforementioned control method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A load-balancing device can be used to assist the lifting and lowering of heavy objects. In some examples, a load-balancing device includes a housing, a first movable pulley, a second movable pulley, a stationary pulley positioned between the first movable pulley and the second movable pulley, and a cable wound at least partially around the first movable pulley, the second movable pulley, and the stationary pulley. In operation, a pressurized control fluid may be introduced into a pressure chamber defined between the housing, the first movable pulley, and the second movable pulley. This can cause the first movable pulley and the second movable pulley to move away from the stationary pulley, withdrawing the cable into the housing and lifting a load attached to the cable.

Abstract: A load lifting apparatus for a helicopter has a cable, including a supply length in a cable store. The cable is secured at one end to the helicopter and has a free end. A load-bearing element, on which a load to be raised can be secured, is arranged on the cable. The cable can be removed from the cable store in order to lower the load-bearing element downwards from the helicopter. As the load-bearing element is lowered or pulled upwards, the cable acts at a force-introduction location on the helicopter. The load-bearing element is arranged on the cable such that it can move along the cable. At least one cable-attachment location is present on the helicopter, and is spaced apart from the force-introduction location and has, or can have, the free end of the cable secured on it.
