Data set #1
I had some help from my girlfriend this afternoon as we measured the no-load line speeds of a new 24V Warn 8274-50 and the 24V Aisin 1000 upright winch.
** All measurements in feet per minute (and layer on drum)**
Warn published data:
no load, fist layer of drum - 65 ft/min
Warn - acutal data:
1 - 57
2 - 66
3 - 76.5
4 - 85
5 - 96
Aisin - 150' of cable on the drum (45m)
1 - 50
2 - 58
3 - 66
4 - 73.7
5 - 81
The Aisin winch is considerably quieter, and seems so much smoother by the nature of its design than the Warn. All of the braking mechanism is sealed inside of the winch and flooded with ATF (fill and drain plugs provided).
The freespool on the Aisin winch is also far superior to the Warn in that it is totally smooth and very easy to pull the cable out since it's not part of the braking mechanism as in the Warn. The Warn braking/freespool system is sensitive to inertia when the cable is being pulled out and the brake can lock up if the cable is pulled too quickly. The brake can drag quite heavily on the Warn, sometimes making freespooling of the cable difficult. The Warn is extremely noisy due to the design of the clutch/brake mechanism.
The Aisin winch also has a built-in cut out solenoid that disables the power to the winch when the controller is not plugged in. The Warn has no such system.
The Aisin winch has a temperature sensor linked to a buzzer on the winch remote that sounds when the motor is getting too hot. The Warn has a temperature sensor built into the winch, but the wires have been cut off. My understanding is that in other markets, there is a cut-out solenoid that stops the flow of electricity when the sensor detects and overheat condition. It's too bad that Warn doesn't leave the wires to the sensor intact so that this system can be used if the owner so desires.
Hope this helps provide some helpful data for those who were curious.
