The patent describes helicopter rescue hoist-traction sheave assembly. It includes a hoist cable engaging sheave and first housing, a drive motor having a drive shaft mounting the sheave and a second housing mounting the motor and positioned in adjustable relation to the sheave housing, a rocker arm fixed to the motor-mounted housing, an alarm switch located near the rocker arm, and a torque compensating spring attached to, and normally retaining the rocker arm in a neutral position out of engagement with the switch when the drive motor is applying a normal amount of traction to the cable through the sheave and automatically moving the rocker arm to an engaged position with, and closing the switch in the event of a malfunction resulting in a substantial reduction in the motor-applied traction.
