Winches all have motors that drive or power the drum that spools the wire. An electric winch uses an electric motor. This electric motor is powered by electricity, just like a drill motor. Current changes on opposing poles spin a magnet that powers the motor and turns the winch. Since a winch is so heavy-duty, the electric motor on a winch must be robust with a solid electrical system that can handle a lot of charge. The winch motor also needs to adjust to handle heavier loads. 4, record 1, English, - electric%20winch

Magnetostrictive Level Sensors consist of a NEMA 6/IP68 tube which houses the sensor electronics, a magnetostrictive wire and a float with an embedded magnet. The position of the magnet in the float is precisely determined by the interaction with signal pulses in the wire. Float position is then converted to a 4-20 mA output in the current out version, or processed into a level measurement via the serial output in the S3LT version. 2, record 7, English, - magnetostrictive%20sensor

L'interaction avec les impulsions du signal dans le fil détermine avec précision la position de l'aimant dans le flotteur. Cette position est alors convertie en sortie courant 4-20 mA (modèle sortie courant) ou transformée en mesure de niveau via la sortie sérielle. 2, record 7, French, - capteur%20magn%C3%A9tostrictif
