Torque from Electric Winch
Torque from Electric Winch
(OP)
I'm fastening an electric winch to a rectangular HSS and I want to verify if I am correct on the amount of torque the winch will develop. Take the line load x the distance from the center of the winch to the line? For example 2,000lbs x 8" = 16,000in-lbs of torque from the winch. What about overcoming initial inertial forces? I'm not asking about the torsional stresses in the HSS. Thanks!

Overcoming initial inertia is not a problem - a direct current motor, as used on a winch, has maximum torque at zero revolutions (stall torque). The full rating of the winch (16,000 in-lb) is available at the "flip of the switch".
