The hydraulic circuit, the heart of the fluid powered winch machine, is the sequential arrangement of the major components to smoothly maintain the working mechanism of the machine to achieve its functions. This logical setup is the driving force to convert flow and pressure to speed and torque required to maintain the operation. As it is a congregation of elements like motors, valves and pumps, optimization is a priority to efficiently execute the operation with least losses and more power

... ut. The research is undertaken in view of the drawbacks in the machine manufactured by Elfit Arabia Ltd, Ajman. The drawbacks noticed were backlash, less pulling speed, mechanical imbalance and losses. Hear by with the means of commercial software called Automation Studio, this research focuses on using the mechanical advantages of newly suggested features this circuit to divide the work load thus gaining more control and speed to pull in and pull out the winch rope. This paper ascertains the optimized advantages incurred by replacing with a double capstan motor integrated with a single directional control solenoid valve to shift between the series and parallel modes, an inbuilt motor-braking system for the balance of the movement of the drum motor and the addition of the sequence valve for flow control with experimental analysis, observations and results.
