Development Background
In crane industry, SEW is able to provide almost all drives for it. For example,
SEW has gear brake motor, inverter for trolley and travelling system, IG gearbox for
the hoist lifting of the bridge crane or others.

However, SEW doesn’t has products for electric wire rope hoist like conical rotor
motor. In Chinese market, the so called “European style Electric wire rope hoist” has
become more and more popular and replace of Traditional Electric Hoist since 10
years ago. In spite that it is not a new technology and high price, the final users
appreciate it more and more, because that the “new” design has higher efficiency ,
less noise and maintenance-free design. Sometimes OEM can use electric hoist to
bridge crane for reducing cost and get compact design.

A lot of OEMs in China suggested SEW to develop the lifting drive of Electric Hoist,
because they have only one supplier of ABM, but the delivery time, service , price of
ABM can’t be satisfied.

For good market expectation and the demand from some very important customers,
the top management of SEW-China decided to start the G project in 2013

G..7 Life time testing

In order to testify the new design and follow FEM standard, all sizes
must be done life time testing with full load or over load.
� G97: four testing had been completed(M5 class)
� 200 hours testing for first prototype to prove the design
and assembly process
� 1600 hours according to Chinese standard
� 3840 hours according to SEW’s designer
� 1920 hours according to FEM standard(running time)
� G77: one test has been finished(1920 hours running time) on
July.
� G67: one test is doing in SEW now
� G107: one test is preparing in Germany and will be started
soon.
All results showed the design of G..7 is very wonderful!

G..7 Benefits for customer

� G..7 design consider of enough dynamic factor

according to F.E.M standard.
� Compact design to save mounting space
� Longer center distance can mount big drum,
realizing bigger lifting height.
� More diameter of drum are available for
customer.
� Second dimension of output shaft as option
� Aluminum housing reduce the weight
� More ratios of gearbox
� More combination with motors

G..7 Project Planning

� Mounting Position: M3 as normal, M5,M6 are available
M1 must be check, M2/M4 are not available
M5 M3 M6

� Recommended direction of wire rope should be same as catalogue, different

direction of wire rope need to recalculate by SEW.
