- What kind of electric motor / controller provide a wide range of torque at the cost of speed without destroying the motor?
I'm bothered by a winch being very slow at light loads and was wondering if a different motor / motor controller / gear could increase the low load speed without sacrificing the high torque at low speed? And also without destroying the motor?
Is there a chance that the right combination of motor, controller and (worm) gear, the output could be controlled in the range 800Nm@5rpm to 10Nm@400rpm? (If my calculations are correct, both of this scenarios should require the same power.)
What kind of motor / controller is more suitable for such application?
Available power is DC 24V, max 20A.
The usage of worm gear is to prevent the wire from being unrolled when no power is applied, even under load.
I'm hoping for a controller that automatically increases torque when higher load is detected, but does not go above the max power allowed, which I expect to result in reduced speed. I'd also appreciate the ability to set max torque and max speed at the controller for scenarios where those should be limited.
