Motor Torque Value
The amount of torque needed depends upon the speed at which the crawler is
reversing, the size of the crawler wheels, the amount of cable on the drum and
the conditions in which the crawler is being used.
When the motor is rewinding, you should adjust the torque so that there is only
a small amount of slack in the cable between the drum and the crawler, such
that:
• You ensure the motor is winding up enough cable onto the drum so that the
crawler does not run over the cable.
• You ensure the motor is not producing so much torque that the drum is
dragging the crawler.
You may need to adjust the torque a few times during the rewind of a long
length of cable.
With usage, you will gain some experience of the ideal settings for the torque.
