Winch on UAZ with his own hands

Outdoor activities has become more accessible than twenty years ago. Many thrill seekers equipped with Soviet UAZ and Niva and trying to overcome places where normal cars can not go. But even experienced drivers can get into a situation when you need to pull the car out of the hole or dirt. And well, if there will be people and equipment. But if in the deep woods alone or with your family?

In this case save you can only winch. Just need to find a suitable support (quite a thick pillar of wood or boulder) and secured using rope. Be sure the winch on UAZ “Patriot”, for example, mounted, slowly but surely pull your car from sand, mud, or pit. But there is one drawback-price. This device is not every motorist can afford. That's why in our today's review we will talk about how to assemble a winch on UAZ artisanal method.

What's it like To hoist, with his own hands made?

The Winch is assembled in the garage conditions, is a device that is able to move, move and get out of the mud heavy cars. Initially, it looks like the one in the photo below. The Homemade device can be of different designs. Here are the most common:

• Winch with manual mechanism;
• Device with a hydraulic motor;
• Mechanical (gross);
• Electric.

These types of winches are simple and intuitive principle: a steel cable of a certain diameter is wound onto the drum mounted on the vehicle. Pulls this rope gear or the man himself (with, for example, scrap). Outwardly, this winch (in the UAZ 469 this device it is possible to attach) and the rest of her species are very similar, but differ in speed, power reducer and size.

Using a hand winch?

Hand winch (UAZ "Loaf" of the insert, for example) has a very simple structure. The cable is wound on the drum, a lever (you can use a small crowbar or pry). Such a device has its advantages:

• Independence from energy sources and other resources;
• Small enough size and light weight;
• Accessibility (low price);
• With increasing leverage increases the pull of the winch.

Disadvantages include the discomfort when working in unsuitable conditions (rain, snow, frost, dirt).

Molecular, or mechanical winch

The Essence of this mode is that the device is connected to the shaft of the thrust motor of the SUV. Other power sources there. The main advantages of mechanical winch on UAZ is a simple and clear design of the device, low cost and the ability to control the speed of winding of rope on the drum, increasing or decreasing the rpm of the motor. The disadvantages are obvious: the functionality of the node depends on the health of the engine.

Winch with hydraulic motor

A Fairly common type. The beauty of this winch is that it can be mounted on any vehicle using a hydraulic pump, including UAZ. The winch hydraulic system is quite powerful, has a small footprint, quiet running. However, installation depends on whether or not the car charges. Without this element, it will not work.

Electric Winch

This type is the most popular among many motorists. The main part of the winch is electric, which is powered by the onboard wiring. Manage it quite easily. Plus an electric winch is that it can operate without running the engine, that is Autonomous. The principle is simple: it is necessary to unwind the desired length of the cable, to fix it and start the drive. Mounted on a special power bumper (diagram shown below).

The advantages of electric hoist:

• The high speed of operation when the winding of a cable;
• Independence from a running motor;
• Easy to use;
• The possibility to equip the device with additional sensors.

The disadvantages are intolerance of moisture, relatively low battery life and high cost.

And now for the pressing question. How is the winch for the UAZ with his own hands?

To Make a homemade item is quite real. You need to have the necessary tools, materials, skills and patience. Mounted winch (on the Oise), hand made, must have high torque to pull out of the mud or sand heavy cars. Some car owners do not believe that reliable device can be manufactured at home. But it is real. And most importantly - it will allow you to save some money and buy an expensive thing.

The Materials that you will need for making a winch:

• Frame square tube 30x30 mm;
• Pipe with a diameter of 150-180 mm for the future of drum;
• Four metal sheet (5 mm thick) for making the working surface of the drum and disk;
• Metal studs (M12 and M14) length 200 mm - six pieces;
• Six segments of the 12-mm pipe, length 200 mm;
• Chain, two stars, a hub for installationshaft and the drum.

You will Also need a cable of a certain length, a reliable shotgun, welder, grinder, paint materials.

Important to know

Before you start any business, it is advisable to have a clear plan of action. You need to draw a diagram with consistent actions build a homemade winch. This will really facilitate the work, save time and nerves.

Stages of manufacturing winches for UAZ with his own hands

• Take a grinder and cut the square tube and then welded to the mating parts. Check their perpendicularity, equality of angles, dimensions. The deck under the winch on UAZ is fixed, then we make it special holes, which will be attached to the motor. The essence of the next stage is to strip, Prime and paint the resulting design. Then start manufacturing the drum.
• Out of a metal sheet cut out two circles for 350 mm, and in the center of a drilled hole, where it will be attached to the shaft. Around him, around the circumference of 80 mm, drill the same six holes. Then another four to mount the hub. Prepared stud fix, they put on pipes with a diameter of 12 mm, and cover with a second disc, tightening the whole thing with nuts.
• On already assembled shaft is put on the drum. Outside fixed hub and a big star.
• The reel is mounted on the base of the winch. The shaft is fixed with the hub and the prepared bolts. Dried pad set motor. Its output shaft should have a little star. Then put on a special chain of appropriate size and adjusted the tension (it should not hang or be constricted).
• Adjusting it, you need to see that the chain is not interfered with to wind the cable on the drum. After this adjustment securely fix the motor.
• The Cable is attached to the shaft and tightly wound on the finished drum. Fasten a carabiner and a steel hook. Winch on UAZ with his own hands collected and ready to use. May experience!

Yes, about time spent on the job. Usually, installing a winch on UAZ - it is not too long. Ten hours is enough.

Make a winch out of a starter

Many do not know, but the winch can be made from conventional starter. It works the same way as above. The only difference is that instead of a motor it is a working starter. For such a device better suited planetary reducer, which can be removed from the engine “penny” or “six”. To it is attached a self-made adapter, and then the starter. Put the gears on the mainshaft so that they fit to each other. Next install the starter and connect the wiring.

Hoist of the ratchet with your hands

For a device of this type, we need a brake from the truck KAMAZ. This mechanism is able to withstand loads up to six tons.

Dismantle the gearbox, remove the gear, reviewing the so-called “Chervyakova mechanism”. To do this, we need a hammer to knock the shaft with splines. You can squeeze it with pressure, but not everyone does.

The Resulting weld parts together according to plan. Remove the gear, fix the tube vertically in a vise. Between the slots and the tube trying to drive the nails, facing each other. This will help locate the mechanism relative to the gear.

After that cut down the heads of nails at the root and strengthen the structure by welding. The pinion is inserted into the body of the reducer, at the same time «worm». The shaft is hammered into “worm”. To install the drum, take two washers and weld them to the shaft.

The Work is done, you can now install the winch on UAZ and use the useful device.

Winch of the motorcycle with your hands

You will not believe it, but the winch can make from an old motorcycle lying around, or rather, some details that'd be perfect for making "home-made" mechanism.

As in previous versions, fix the motor to the frame. The working part of the winch is made of the main sprocket (located on engine). Motorcycle chain is perfect for our needs. Drum fasten previously prepared nuts and bolts. If the design allows, then the frame can make a longitudinal hole. They will allow you to move the drum that help to adjust the chain tension.

In conclusion

You made sure to assemble a winch on their own and improvised quite real. Main thing is to have the material, tools, perseverance and desire. As a result of your efforts will be the winch is a very necessary device in the household.
