Abstract
A cable car winch comprising a housing, a pulley, a main gear, a pinion and a primary gear reduction unit including a pinion for driving the main gear. The winch is characterized by the fact that a hub turns around a spindle which is rigidly affixed to the housing, and that the main gear is attached to the hub. The pinion and the primary reducer form a self-aligning block with relation to the main gear and are linked to the housing by means of connecting links and articulated swing bars.
