The electric chain hoist meets the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive and the relevant EN and FEM standards.
Housing and cover are made of a sturdy aluminum die casting. Fins on the motor ensure optimum cooling. The chain box can be attached to the
compactly constructed housing. A drilled hole is provided for both the power supply cable gland and the control cable. The lugs, or optionally the
suspension hooks, are attached to the flange ring.
Tractel electric chain hoists are driven by asynchronous motors. For two-speed models a pole switching version of the motor is fitted.
The braking system consists of a DC-operated spring loaded brake. When there is no current, the pressure spring generates the braking torque.
For functional reasons, the slip clutch is installed in front of the brake system and integrated into the rotor shaft. It protects the hoist from overload
and takes on the function of an emergency end stop for the highest and lowest hook positions.
A gear-type limit switch is fitted to limit the highest and lowest hook position. As an option, emergency stop contacts with positive separation can
be retrofitted downstream.
Electric chain hoists are fitted with a 42 V contactor control as standard. The emergency stop contactor that is usually installed separates all three
mains power phases when the red button is pressed.
The high-strength round steel chain meets the requirements of grade DAT (8SS) to DIN EN 818-7. Sprocket and pulley are hardened. The load
hook, which complies with DIN 15400, is fitted with a safety latch.
The two-or three-stage, closed spur gear units are usually helically cut. The gears are mounted on roller bearings and run greased.
The standard equipment fitted to the electric chain hoist includes a control switch (up/ down with emergency stop).
