What Are Winch Gear Ratios?
In a winch, the gear ratio describes the relationship between the number of turns of the winch’s motor and the number of turns of the drum. In simple terms, it tells you how much the motor has to spin to rotate the drum once.
A higher gear ratio means more mechanical advantage – the winch can pull heavier loads but will do so more slowly. A lower gear ratio allows faster line retrieval but with less pulling power. Manufacturers choose gear ratios to balance speed, torque, and efficiency for the intended use of the winch.
