Characteristics

  • 1 to 20 ton capacity

  • Available base and deck mount, monorail, low head room monorail and double girder configurations

  • Lift speeds of 16, 24, 31 and 48 FPM

  • Low headroom trolley speeds are 50 and 100 FPM

  • Double girder trolley speeds are 70 and 140 FPM

  • Upper and lower end limit switches standard

  • All hoists meet or exceed HMI, ASME and NEC requirements

  • Rope guide standard

  • Trolley motor brakes standard

  • Enclosed hook block with 360° hook rotation

  • One piece rectangular welded steel frame

  • The rope drum, trolley wheels, hook block sheaves and upper block sheave have shielded lifetime lubricated precision bearings

  • Wide variety of controls available

  • Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) externally mounted hoist motor with high duty cycle and switching frequency designed for hoisting service

  • Welded steel drum with accurately machined grooves and large cable to drum diameter ratio


Optional Features

  • Variable speed drives and soft start controls

  • 2 speed hoist motor

  • Load limiter: Prevents lifting over the hoist rated capacity. The additional adjustable load limiter Reduces the potential for making hazardous over capacity lifts. The load limiter protects the hoist from damage due to overloading. Overloading the hoist electrically activates the load limiter, making the hoist lifting inoperable (the load can still be lowered at any time).

  • Second Brake: The additional second Lenze BFK458 electric magnetic disc brake on the hoist gear reducer has a 125% safety factor.  The spring loaded brake operates automatically upon loss of power.

  • Trolleys: Have drop-forged, high tensile steel wheels accurately machined with shielded ball bearings for smooth operation.  Motor-driven trolleys are powered by TEFC squirrel cage brake motors.

 

Basic Diagram
 
 

 (1) Gear Unit

 

Two-stage heliocentric gear unit mounted to one side of the body.  The high quality surface hardened gear wheels ensure:
  - long life
  - noiseless operation at highest efficiency.

 (2) Body  

The new design of the body has a rectangular shape, with an extra-strong welded flange connection between the motor and the gear unit.  The rope's outlet in all possible directions permits the utilization of various assembly configurations and positions.

 (3) Rope Drum  

Equipped with ball bearings. The effort is transferred by means of a grooved shaft.

 (4) Flexible Coupling  

The torque of the hoist motor is transmitted to the reduction gears through a coupling which is flexible in both radial and axial directions.

 (5) Rope Guide             

New design.  No special tools are necessary for the replacement of the rope guide.  Ensures precise rope winding and unwinding.  Possibility for rope deviation ±40.  Actuates the end limit switch for end upper and end bottom position of the hook.

 (6) Hook Block             

The block-hook has entirely new construction corresponding to the modern technical safety requirements.  Easy operation with minimum dead weight.

 (7) Hoisting Motor  

Powerful motor with an integrated conical brake and sliding rotor.  The different combinations of motors and gear units expand the range of the available lifting speeds.

 (8) Mechanical Brake  

Brakes are asbestos-free.  Reliable, automatic brake operation in case of power loss.

Also in included, but not shown in diagram:

Trolleys
The trolleys are a completely new structure, connected directly to the rectangular shaped body, ensuring optimum load distribution on the travel wheels.  Travel wheels are driven by a brake motor and heliocentric gear unit.  Increased range of traveling speeds.  Stageless fitness along the width of the monorail traveling track.
 
Electric Equipment

Terminal box as a separate unit.  Contactor control at 42V control voltage.  Terminal box of the motor has a built-in end limit switch
