FEM CLASSIFICATION
TECHNICAL GUIDE
According to FEM classification, two fundamental criteria must be taken into account : : - the type of duty (load spectrum)(k) - average daily operated time (Tm) I ) type of duty (load spectrum) I.a ) Approximate determination

HEAVY (0.63 < k < or = at 0.8 ) Repetitive full load. Usually average load. Heavy fixed load.

I.b ) Strict determination For an exact classification into groups the cubic mean value k referred to the load to be lifted is required. It is calculated by using the following formula :
C1 3 T1 C2 3 T 2 C 3 3 T 3 k = . + . + . +.... Cm Tm Cm Tm Cm Tm

since the life of the mechaniXS is inversely proportional to the third power of the load. Symbols : C1, C2, C3, ... useful or partial load T1, T2, T3, ... daily operating time under useful or partial load Tm = T1+T2+T3+... average daily operated time

TECHNICAL GUIDE
Redundant rope reeving Hoists are double-reeved using two separate ropes, from 2 parts to 16 parts depending on capacity. Ropes are selected according to FEM standards. Elimination of reverse bends minimizes rope wear. Stable positioning of the load is attained with true vertical lift. Accessible rope dead ends allow the two ropes to be easily adjusted and replaced. Upper safety limit switch An additional counterweight type emergency limit switch is a common option for process duty. The limit is actuated by the hook block and can be reset manually or (optionally) automatically. Optional rope guide A rugged rope guide ensures proper rope winding on the drum. Adjustable upper and lower limit switches are actuated by the rope guide. Process limit switches can be easily added. Rope drum bearings Two high-capacity ball bearings support the drum at the gearbox end. At the opposite end, a nonrotating shaft supports the drum through a self-aligning roller bearing in the drum end flange. This unique arrangement eliminates drum shaft fatigue failures. Heavy duty brakes VCT-S Winches are normally equipped with heavy duty electro-magnetic disk brakes. Brakes are connected directly to the motor shaft. Safe closure is attained by spring force, ensuring operation of the brake during power failure. A second safety disc type brake or (optionally) a shoe brake can be added if required. Motors VERLINDE electric crane motors are specially designed for heavy duty hoisting applications. The hoist motor sizes for VARIATOR LA frequency controls range from 15 kW to 132 kW and for ACE thyristor controls from 15 kW to 90 kW. The modular construction of VCT-S Winches allows either one or two main hoist motors to be combined on the same machine, using a differential input shaft. Alternatively, a separate microspeed machinery (100% ED) is available. All motors are IEC standard flange-mounted, with class F insulation. The protection class may be either IP54 or IP55 depending on the site requirements. Hoisting gears Gears are helical, carburized and hardened to 60 RC, precision-ground to DIN7 (AGMA 10) quality, and are oil bath lubricated. Very large capacity VCT-S 1000-1100 Winches have a planetary final reduction step. Geared coupling
The hoist gearbox is connected to the drum by a flexible twostage geared coupling. The coupling type allows dynamic bending and movement of the drum, without the common fatigue failures.

TECHNICAL GUIDE
The use of VERLINDE VARIATOR LA frequency controls enables the use of the ESR option. This feature allows operation at speeds up to 200% of nominal with reduced load (maximum of 20% of rated load). Traversing machineries A hollow shaft gearbox is mounted directly onto the trolley drive axle. The primary end of the gearbox is supported by a flexible shock-absorbing torque arm. A wide range of flange-mounted motor types is available.
Auxiliary hoist An auxiliary hoist can be provided by adding a special tow trolley. The tow trolley is connected to the main unit by pinned connections. This arrangement ensures optimal hook approaches. Bogie construction
Bogie trolley wheel construction allows better distribution of loads to wheels and cranes girders. In the VCT-S700-1100 range, a six-wheel bogie construction results in a lighter bridge structure, less fatigue, less wear and longer life.
Lubrification points collected to groups (option) For a easier maintenance, every grease points can be collect at the same point.

Superior Winches for every Application
TECHNICAL GUIDE
VCT-S Winches cope with every environment and application. The winch can be an integrated, intelligent workhorse of the industrial process, or serve as an installation tool for heavy machinery.
Paper mills:
At the beginning of their long working life, winches over the paper machine enable the erection of the machine itself. After the production process starts the dry end winch is an essential part of the production process, lifting the jumbo reels from the PM-winder for further processing. With a paper machine producing over 2,000 meters of paper every minute, the ability of a winch to pick up a jumbo reel is crucial; otherwise an expensive process shutdown could result. On reelers, coaters, calendars, right down the process to the sheet cutters and the printing houses, the VCT-S Winch is your reliable materials handling partner.
Waste-to-energy plants:
Here, the main task of a winch is to move fuel (waste) from the storage pit to the furnace hoppers. Furnace operation is dependent on a constant flow of fuel, so a winch is a vital part of the plant, and winch failure can cause the whole plant to be shut down. Other duties for the waste-to-energy winch include recasting waste, removing unwanted objects from the pit and feeding waste to the shredder. In some plants, winches are used to move ash residue away from the ash storage pit.
Power plants:
In a power plant the winch operates as a tool for assembling and maintaining the machinery. In this kind of work, accuracy and reliability are key requirements.
