A system arrangement for the drive train of lifting mechanisms, such as crane lifting mechanisms, is disclosed. The system arrangement includes at least one drive motor (1, 1′), at least one cable drum (2, 2′) connected thereto, a reduction transmission (3) arranged between the drive motor (1, 1′) and the cable drum (2, 2′), an automatic overrun shutdown freewheel (6), and at least one safety brake (4, 4′). To optimize such a drive train, at least one active motor locking assembly (5, 5′) is utilized to hold the load when the drive motor (1, 1′) is decelerated electrically to a rotary speed of zero. The active motor locking assembly is utilized instead of at least one passive operating brake.

A braking system for a motor housing is provided. In one example, braking system comprises a double disk brake configuration arranged in a motor housing. A working position of the double disk brake is configured to automatically adjust based on a condition of a friction pad of a friction disk.

An electronic actuated clutch for a winch. The winch having a motor and drive shaft which are engagable, via an electronically actuated clutch, to a spool. The clutch being operated by a solenoid which engages the clutch via a yoke. The clutch is operable between an engaged and disengaged position through energizing and de-energizing the solenoid. Operation of the clutch moves it linearly along the axis of the drive shaft into and out of engagement with the spool. Operation of the electronically actuated clutch may be done via a remote control.

A hoist is disclosed. In various embodiments, the hoist includes a torque tube defining a longitudinal axis and having a radially outer surface; a cable drum having a radially inner surface; and a bar spline disposed radially outward of the torque tube and radially inward of the cable drum and configured to transfer a torque from the torque tube to the cable drum.
