Hey guys,

I thought I would post this question in the 7.3 because I know a lot of you guys are familiar with the the Stancor 586-902 solenoids commonly used for the glow plugs. Trying to use what I already have, I have a brand new one sitting on the shelf that I never installed when I had my 7.3 before I sold it. I'm looking at installing a Champion 10,000 K winch on my new truck. The specks for the winch are,

Champion model #11006
Motor-Series Wound 3.6 HP / 2.7 kW, 12V DC
Duty cycle intermittent
Run time - 1 minute at 10K current @400 Amps. (Max.)

Stanco 586-902
Duty cycle- Continuous 200 amp / in rush 600.

Whats your guys opinion on using the Stancor?

Thanks for the help.

Brice

 

<p>it will work, just cant say for how long.</p>

 

That depends on how much Amperage your winch is demanding. 200 Amps, probably not when you need it to recover your vehicle.

There are several which are designed with high-amperage continuous duty cycle and switching available.

You may require a 12 Volt Reversing Continuous Duty Solenoid Relay for your Winch Motor. Or, You could only require a Continuous Use - HEAVY DUTY 12v Marine Solenoid.

The Owners Manual under Specifications will list the Amperage Draw for the Motor based on it's Duty Cycle and Load. Use the Highest.


Just a note: If the one you have keeps burning up, you're probably needing to tear the Winch Motor apart and replace the Brushes and clean it up good.

 

Thanks for reply.

I was looking at the Albright reverse acting solenoids that are 100 amps. I ran across several post where people have been installing them with their Warn winches. I was thinking if the Albright was only a hundred amp then then Stancore at 200 should work fine but maybe I'm wrong.

 

Got it.

You're going to use it as a Switching Solenoid to turn the power on and off via a remote switch? Yes the Stancor will work.

I thought you were going to use them in the Control Box for the Winch's Hand Controls.

Is this correct?

 

Thomas,

Thats correct. I was just planning on using the Stancor for a power supply connected to my up fitter switch.
