Load compensated right angle diamond screw levelwind

摘要

A cable winding system has a powered spool for receiving the cable in continuous evenly distributed coils. A levelwind mechanism is attached to the spool and guides the cable onto the spool by a pawl traversing a powered diamond screw groove. The levelwind is attached to a load compensated hydraulic system which prevents stresses from being transmitted to the pawl. The levelwind has a sheave to accept cable angularly disposed to the axis of the spool.
