BAFFLE MACHINE AND CABLING WITHOUT HAND WINCH
Note:
When the baffle machine is connected directly to the
inlets, they will both travel at the same rate and the
normal load will be applied to the curtain machine.
Note:
When a Hand Winch is connected to the inlets and two free pulleys are connected
in line, the inlets will travel at the same rate as the baffle machine. For every 1” the
baffle machine travels the inlets will move 1”. The normal load will be applied to the
baffle machine.

BAFFLE MACHINE AND CABLING WITH HAND WINCH INSTALLED
Note:
When a Hand Winch is connected to the inlets and a Free Pulleys is connected
to the baffle machine, the inlets will travel at twice the rate of the baffle machine.
This is because for every 1” the baffle machine travels the inlets will move 2”.
Twice as much load will be applied to the baffle machine, therefore, it will have
half the pulling capacity.

Only half of the load will be applied to the baffle machine, therefore, it will have
