This bachelor thesis undertakes design of two speed electric winch for the headgear specified for the drilling of the water wells through the use of core technology with the loading capacity up to 1000 kgs. Thesis consists of the theoretical as well as the operational part. Theoretical part is occupied with the possibilities of the problem solving, calculates the main winch parameters. In the study the reasons for choices of the main parts of mechanism e.g. electromotor, transmission, winch and others are given. Generally the brief introduction into the problem is inserted in each chapter prior to the calculations. Operational part involves the drawing of the overall configuration and the cable drum setup
