4 Winch basics
4.1 Hydraulic System Basic Information
4.1.1 General
Hydraulics is a topic in applied science and engineering dealing with the mechanical
properties of liquids. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydrau-
lics, which focuses on the engineering uses of uid properties. These fundamentals
of hydraulics apply to SEPSON winches.
Note
You cannot obtain maximum oil pressure and maximum oil ow at the same
time. This means that maximum pulling force and maximum rope speed
cannot occur at the same time.
