The MW Series winches offer raising and lowering capabilities with a friction brake that prevents the unit from free-wheeling when under a load. Manufactured of a rugged steel frame and drum. the unit includes a #45 pulley. and a carabiner for attaching the line to an anchor such as a tripod. This MW unit has a 100' TECHNORA? SYNTHETIC ROPE.
Characteristics of TECHNORA? ROPE:
(1) High tensile strength
The tensile strength of Technora is 28g/de(24.7cn/dtex,350kg/mm2), which is 8 times as strong as steel and 3 times as strong as fiberglass, polyester and nylon of the same weight. This property will serve significantly to reduce weight.
(2) Fatigue resistance
High tenacity fibers generally show a loss of strength against repeated abrasion, flexure and stretch, Technora has excellent fatigue resistance, as compared to the other high tenacity fibers.
(3) Dimensional stability
Technora has a stiff and highly oriented molecular structure which leads to a high modulus, low creep and low stress relaxation. Due to its low thermal shrinkage, it has good dimensional stability.
(4) Heat resistance
Technora has a decomposition temperature of 500? C. It can be used at 200C for long periods of time and, even at 250? C, it maintains more than half of its tensile strength that was measured at room temperature.
(5) Chemical resistance
Technora exhibits high resistance to both acids, alkalis and organic solvents. It is also resistant to sea water and steam.
