Super-sensitive tension limiter
Deck equipment protection
The tension limiter of SailForce™ is designed to detect scenarios such as a stuck reefing line or even a knot caught in a clutch.
Simply select a tension limit between 10 kg and the maximum line load of your winch (from 850 kg for a size 40 winch to 1550 kg for a size 70 winch). The motor stops instantly when the limit is reached.
Fully configurable tension limits
Tensions on the lines vary considerably from one maneuver to another. Therefore, it is essential to be able to configure tension limits specific to each maneuver. That's why we have created Maneuver Programs.
Each Maneuver Program stores its own tension limits and offers two independent tension limits, one for the fast speed and another one for the slow speed.
Example : hoisting the main sail with the tension limiter
Step 1 : Hoisting the main sail with the fast speed
Hoisting the mainsail requires a tension of 100 to 200 kg on the halyard. If a reef is stuck, or if a slider gets jammed, the tension on the halyard will suddenly increase.
Simply adjust the tension limit of the winch's fast speed (speed 1) between 100 and 200 kg, depending on the boat (size and configuration). The motor will immediately stop, thus avoiding the risk of breakage in case of an anomaly.
The motor will immediately stop, thus avoiding the risk of breakage in case of an anomaly.
Step 2 : Tightening the mainsail with the slow speed
Depending on the sailboat, the required tension varies between 450 and 800 kg (this tension may be higher for larger boats).
Therefore, you simply need to set the tension limit of the winch's slow speed to an adequate level to ensure the completion of the maneuver.
