increases motor torque, says a recent news release from the manufacturer.
These all-steel chain sprocket assemblies come in motor-to-drum ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, the release notes, adding that “each ratio will effectively slow down the rewind speed of the drum by a multiple of the ratio factor and will increase the effective motor torque by the same factor.” That provides and safety and control during rewind of the two-inch diameter hose.
The sprockets, which have a corrosion-protective coating, are mounted on a zinc-plated steel axle “and rotate on two self-lubricated bronze bearings.”
The 1195’s electric rewind versions now have 1:3 gear reduction as standard. Non-reduced models for use with electronic speed reducers are available on request, the company says.
