1 Safety instructions

1.1 Symbols The following symbols and instructions warn against possible personal injuries or
damage to property and are intended to assist you in your work.

Safety at work symbol


This symbol appears in the operating instructions next to all instructions relating to
safety at work wherever a potential danger to life and limb exists.
Follow these instructions at all times and be particularly careful and cautious.
Pass on safety instructions to all persons entrusted with working on the hoist unit
including track and power supply.
In addition to the safety instructions, observe all general safety regulations and
factory accident prevention regulations at all times.

Warning against electrical hazards


Contact with live parts can result in immediate death. Protective covers (e.g. covers
and enclosures of electrical equipment) marked with this sign may only be opened by
qualified electricians. Before opening, all relevant operating, control, feed or other
voltages must be disconnected.

Warning against suspended load


Any person remaining in this danger zone may suffer serious injury or death.
Never transport loads above persons when using load handling attachments which
retain the load by means of magnet, friction or suction forces without an additional
load securing device. In each case the special safety and operating instructions
contained in the operating instructions for the load handling attachment in question
must be complied with.

Operating hazard for the installation


This symbol in the operating instructions indicates all warnings which, if not complied
with, may result in malfunctions or damage to the hoist unit or the load.

1.2 Appropriate use Electric hoist units are only intended for lifting and moving loads and may be used as
stationary or travelling units.
Electric hoist units may only be operated when in perfect working order by trained
personnel in accordance with the relevant safety and accident prevention regulations.
This also includes compliance with operating and maintenance conditions specified
in the operating instructions.
Hoist units are designed to be used with a rated voltage of up to 690 V.
Power feed is via power supply lines (mobile cables, open or enclosed power con-
ductor systems, cable drums). These systems are live up to the terminals of the
isolating switch (mains connection switch, isolating switch).
The relevant isolating switch must be switched off and secured when performing
maintenance/repair work. During operation or when the main switch is not switched
off, electrical components inside enclosures, motors, switchgear cabinets, load
handling attachments, terminal boxes, etc., carry dangerous voltages. This voltage
may cause fatal injuries.

Design limit The theoretical duration of service (to FEM 9.755) in conjunction with the
actual mode of operation (see 2.3 Selection criteria) determines the safe
working period (S.W.P.).
21428601.p65/090903

8
Non-compliance may result in serious personal injury or damage to property in the
event of:
• unauthorized removal of covers,
• inappropriate use of the hoist unit,
• incorrect operation,
• insufficient maintenance,
• exceeding the maximum permitted load
(The rated load capacity/S.W.L. is the maximum permitted load. Pay attention to
the sum of the load to be lifted and the load handling attachment.),
• working on live parts.

Advise operators to avoid inching as far as possible. It might cause excessive wear
and premature failure of the hoist unit. Inching means giving short pulses to the mo-
tor to obtain small movements, e.g. when lifting loads or moving the travelling hoist
unit or the crane.

1.3 Prohibited practices Certain work and practices are prohibited when using the hoist unit as they may
involve danger to life and limb and result in lasting damage to the hoist unit, e.g.:
• Do not handle loads in an unsafe way (e.g. swinging the load).
• Do not handle suspended loads above persons.
• Do not pull or drag suspended loads at an angle.
• Do not pull free fixed or obstructed loads with the hoist unit.
• Do not exceed the maximum permitted load and permitted load dimensions.
• Do not leave suspended loads unsupervised.
• Do not allow the rope to run over edges.
• Do not use the rope as a load bearing sling.
• Always move the hoist unit with push travel trolley by pulling on the load, bottom
block or load hook assembly – never pull on the control pendant.
• Do not allow loads to drop when the rope is in a slack condition.
• Do not subject the control pendant to inappropriate mechanical loads.
• Transporting persons, unless lifting devices are specifically approved for trans-
porting persons, is not permitted.
• Do not tamper with or manipulate electrical equipment.
• Do not lift the load when the rope is in a slack condition.
• Do not lift at full speed.

1.4 General safety Persons under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines which affect reactions
must not install, operate, put into service, maintain, repair or disassemble hoist units.

reliable operation are detected, in emergency situations, in the event of operating
malfunctions, for repairs and maintenance purposes, if damage is detected or after
finishing work), the operator/experienced technician must carry out all prescribed
safety measures.
Personal protective clothing must be worn as necessary or as required by regula-
tions.
Personnel must not wear loose clothing, jewellery including rings or long hair loose.
Injury may occur, for example, by being caught or drawn into the mechanism.
All safety and hazard information and recommendations on the hoist unit, e.g. at
access points and mains connection switches must be maintained in complete and
legible condition.
Inching (i.e. giving short pulses to the motor) must always be avoided.
Emergency limit stop devices (e.g. slipping clutch or emergency limit switch) must
not be approached in normal operation.
Modifications, additions to and conversions of the hoist unit which may impair safety
in any way must not be carried out without the written consent of Demag. This also
applies to the subsequent installation of safety devices as well as for performing
welds on load bearing parts. Safety devices must not be rendered inoperative.

e.g. movable protective devices and emergency-stop devices, are fitted and fully
functioning.
Anybody who identifies an immediate danger of personal injury must actuate the
emergency-stop button without delay. This also applies in the case of damage
occurring to parts of the installation and equipment which makes immediate stop-
page necessary. After an “emergency-stop”, the operator must not switch on and
restart the hoist unit until an experienced technician is satisfied that the cause which
led to actuation of this function has been rectified and that continued operation of the
installation constitutes no further hazard.
Hoist units must be switched off immediately in the event of the following faults:
• In the event of damage to electrical devices and cables as well as parts of the
insulation.
• In the event of brake and safety device failure.
• If the lifting motion is switched off during lifting of the load, this may indicate trig-
gering of the overload protection device. In this case, the lifting motion must be
interrupted and a lifted load must be immediately deposited.
For a description of the load measuring function, see enclosed documentation on

load detectors.

Before switching on/putting into operation of the hoist unit it must be ensured that
nobody is endangered by operation of the hoist.
If the operator notices persons who may be exposed to a risk to health or personal
safety by operation of the hoist unit, he must suspend operation immediately and
may not resume operation again until the persons are outside the danger zone.
Before putting the hoist unit into operation, the operator must be satisfied that the
installation is in safe and correct operating condition.
Work on hoist units may only be carried out when instructions to this effect have
been issued, when operation and function of the hoist unit have been explained and
when the working and danger zone has been made safe. Cooling devices, such as
ventilation openings, may not be rendered permanently inoperative (e.g. covered or
closed).
Special local conditions or special applications can lead to situations which were not
known when this chapter was written. In such cases, special safety measures must
be implemented by the owner.

1.9 Safety instructions for Maintenance measures are defined as regular maintenance, inspection and repair
work.
maintenance Mechanical and electrical repairs and maintenance work may only be carried out by
appropriately trained personnel (experienced technicians).
Adjustment and maintenance activities and inspection intervals including specifica-
tions concerning replacement of parts/assemblies prescribed in the operating
instructions must be observed.
Ensure that all electrical components are de-energized before commencing work on
electrical installations and devices.
When all work on the hoist unit has been completed, operation of the hoist unit must
not resume until the owner has given approval to this effect.
Unauthorized persons must be prohibited from carrying out work on machinery or
parts of the hoist unit.
Before starting all repair and maintenance work, the hoist unit must be switched off,
taken out of operation and secured (switches must be locked) against accidental or
unauthorized putting into operation (restarting).
It must be ensured that
• the hoist unit is switched off and checked that it is de-energized and, in special
cases, isolated,
• moving parts are stationary and stopped,
• moving parts cannot start moving while maintenance work is being performed,
• the power supply cannot be accidentally restored as long as the hoist unit has
been taken out of service for maintenance and repair purposes.
• operating and auxiliary materials as well as spare parts are disposed of in a safe
and environmentally sound way.

Instructions for repair work in the course of operation


The danger zone must be marked off with red/white safety ropes or safety tape and
indicated with warning signs. In each individual case, the owner or the person speci-
fied by him must check whether the relevant work may be carried out in the course
of operation without risk of personal injury owing to the particular local conditions.
To avoid injury, only use calibrated and appropriate tools and auxiliary materials for
maintenance, inspection and repair purposes. If there is a risk of objects falling, the
danger zone must be made safe.
Maintain a sufficient safety distance to moving or rotating parts to prevent clothing,
parts of the body or hair becoming entangled.
Avoid naked flames, extreme heat and sparks in the vicinity of cleaning agents and
flammable parts or parts liable to deformation (e.g. wood, plastic parts, oil, grease)
as well as in electrical installations – noncompliance may result in fire hazard. Harmful
gases may evolve or insulation may be damaged.

Additional instructions for repair work on electrical equipment
Only use genuine fuse links with specified amperage and tripping characteristics.
Defective fuse links must not be repaired or bridged and must only be replaced by
fuse links of the same type. Switch off the hoist unit immediately in the event of elec-
trical power supply malfunctions.
Work on the electronic and electrical components or equipment may only be carried
out by qualified electricians. If inspection, maintenance and repair work is to be car-
ried out on parts of hoist units, these must – if prescribed by regulations – be isolat-
ed. First verify the safe isolation of the parts from the supply before commencing
work. The electrical equipment of the hoist unit must be inspected and checked at
regular intervals. Defects, such as loose connections, damaged cables and worn
contactors must be rectified immediately.
Since it is possible that after a longer period of operation the switching points of
relays (time, frequency, monitoring relays) change due to ageing of the components,
the relay switching points in circuits relevant to safety must be checked at regular
intervals.
Electrical equipment must be replaced as a preventive measure on reaching the limit
of its theoretical duration of service (service life).
If work has to be carried out on live parts, a second person must be available in
order to actuate the emergency-stop button or mains connection switch/isolating
switch for voltage disconnection in an emergency. The second person must be
familiar with resuscitation measures.
Only use insulated tools.
Before disconnecting and connecting electrical plug-and-socket connections,
always disconnect them from the supply (this does not apply to mains connections,
provided they do not represent a dangerous contact voltage in the sense of the
safety regulations).

2.3 Selection criteria
The size of the hoist is determined by the load 1. What are the operating conditions? 5. Do the loads need to be lifted and lowered with
spectrum, average operating time per working day, 2. What is the specified SWL? high precision?
SWL and reeving. 3. To what height must be load be lifted? 6. Is horizontal load travel required?
4. What is the required lifting speed? 7. How is control to be effected?

The load spectrum (in most cases estimated) can be


evaluated in accordance with the following defini- The group is determined from the operating time and load spectrum.

Four different mounting positions A, B, C and D and three rope lead-offs 1, 2 and 3
can be obtained by rotating the hoist unit about its longitudinal axis (see fig. 1).
The position of the motor terminal box can be changed, staggered at 90°.
If the mounting flange position is altered, it must be ensured that the code number
stamped into the gearbox casing (gear ratio) always points upwards (see fig. 1).
Only then do we guarantee that the gearbox is vented properly.

3.1 Inspection regulations Notes on inspections in accordance with


Relevant accident prevention regulations for winches,
hoists and towing devices BGV D8 (VBG 8)
Relevant accident prevention regulations for cranes BGV D6 (VBG 9)

The EC machinery directive requirements are therefore also complied with.


Inspection when putting the hoist into operation for the first time
If hoist units are used as cranes, an inspection must be carried out by an expert
engineer in accordance with relevant accident prevention regulations BGV D6 § 25
for cranes.
Hoist units used in accordance with relevant accident prevention regulations for
winches, hoists and towing devices BGV D8 must be inspected by an experienced
technician.
The inspection in accordance with relevant accident prevention regulations for
winches, hoists and towing devices BGV D8 mainly consists of a visual inspection
and a function check. It is designed to ensure that the equipment is in a safe condi-
tion and that any defects and damage, e.g. caused by improper handling during
transport, are identified and repaired.
In addition, regulations specific to cranes must also be taken into consideration
during acceptance and other inspections in accordance with relevant accident
prevention regulations for cranes BGV D6.
Routine inspections
Hoists and cranes must be inspected by an experienced technician at least once a
year. Routine inspections mainly consist of a visual inspection and a function check
which should include a check to determine the condition of components and equip-
ment regarding damage, wear, corrosion or other alterations and a check to deter-
mine the integrity and efficiency of safety devices and brakes. It may be necessary to
dismantle the unit in order to inspect wearing parts.
Load carrying means must be inspected along their entire length, including those
parts which cannot normally be seen. A function and brake test with load (test load
close to the max. permissible load capacity) must be carried out.
The owner must arrange for all inspections to be carried out and documented in the
test and inspection booklet of the hoist unit.

3.2 Hoist units oper- Hoist units operating outdoors should be provided with a cover for protection against
the weather. Travelling hoists should be kept under shelter if they are not used for a
ating outdoors considerable length of time.

3.3 Packing and storage The hoist unit and accessories such as rope, hook with fittings, bottom block and
control pendant as well as the trolley are shipped in cardboard packaging or on
pallets.
Store the hoist unit and accessories in a dry place.

3.4 Paint finish The hoist unit is supplied in the following standard colours:
Hoist unit RAL 5009 Azure blue
Bottom block/hook with fittings RAL 1007 Chrome yellow

Six ranges of Demag DH hoist units are manufactured in five sizes corresponding to
the DIN/FEM groups.

4.2 Motor The Demag brake motor used as hoist drive is a combination of electric motor and
brake which operates on the sliding rotor principle. It is designed in accordance with
the EN (IEC) regulations and the design rules of the FEM, to meet the high demands
made on electric hoists. KB hoist motors feature IP 54 enclosure (IP 20 enclosure for
the brake of the KB brake motor).
Demag brake motors with separately controlled brakes are used as travel drives.
Type of enclosure of the ZBF travel motors is IP 54.
A creep travel speed of 1/4 of the main travel speed is obtained by using a 8/2-pole
motor. Only the 2-pole winding of the travel motors is connected for a single travel
speed.
A creep lifting speed of 1/6 of the main lifting speed can be obtained by using a
2/12-pole motor.
A mechanical microspeed unit of the FG range can be used where other creep lifting
speeds are required.
The transmission ratios available in the FG range produce a large number of creep
lifting speed possibilities. The preferred transmission ratio is 1/10.
Mechanical creep speed units may be fitted at a later stage, if required.
21428603.p65/090903

4.3 Gearbox/rope reeving The torque of the motor is transmitted to the planetary gearbox by a roller coupling
which is flexible in both radial an axial directions.
components
The 2, 3 or 4-stage planetary gearbox inside the drum houses all gear stages.
The drum, rope sheaves and rope comply with the FEM 9.666 design rules.
32
4.4 Arrangement of the The axial arrangement of the planetary gearbox inside the drum is one of the signifi-
cant features of the design.
major assemblies The 2 mounting flanges are connected by 3 longitudinal beams to form a frame.
The drum with planetary gearbox inside it is located in the centre of the frame.
The motor and roller coupling are mounted on the hoist flange.
The electrical equipment and geared limit switch are located in a box on the opposite
flange.
The DH hoist unit can be mounted on any of the 4 sides of the frame.
Various mounting flange positions and rope lead-offs can be obtained by rotating the
hoist unit.
If this is done, the planetary gearbox must be rotated to ensure that the oil does not
leak from the gearbox breather, which must be in the upper vertical position.

4.5 Geared limit switches Limitation of motion at the upper and lower end positions is effected by the
DGS geared limit switch.
The following types are available:
DGS 3 – Emergency limit switch for highest and lowest hook position
Operating limit switch for highest hook position
DGS 4 – Emergency limit switch/operating limit switch
for highest and lowest hook position
The function of all DGS contacts can be freely selected. Every DGS is fitted with a
mechanical counter as standard. The difference between the various counter levels
can be used to determine the operating period of each device.
Pulse generator
If required, the DGS can be supplied with a pulse generator or this can be fitted at a
later date. The toothed wheel required for pulse generation is fitted as standard in
every DGS.

4.6 Control pendants The shock and impact-resistant housing of high quality thermoplastic of the DSE and
the glass fibre reinforced DST housing are resistant to fuels, salt water, fats, oils and
alcaline solutions.
Type of enclosure IP 65 for DST/DSE.
Strong mineral (e.g. hydrochloric or sulphuric) acids may corrode pendant switch
casings. Replace such pendant switches in due time.

4.8 Load detectors for The electronic Dematik ZMS/FGB FAW-1 (standard on DH 2000; optional for
DH 300 – DH 1000) or the mechanical MGS/MKA-2 (standard on DH 300 –
Demag DH hoist units DH 1000) load detectors are used to protect hoist units and supporting structures
against excessive stresses. A basic distinction is made between overload cut-off
switches and overload protective devices (without/with creep lifting).
In combination with ZMS/FGB/FAW-1 load detectors, a summation measuring de-
vice, slack rope relay and digital load indicator can be fitted. For further details, see
description and instructions for load detectors 206 689 44 and 206 880 44
(206 715 44).
21428603.p65/090903

4.9 Runways The profile sections of beams selected for a monorail hoist track must be designed to
take into account all imposed stresses including normal and transverse bending.
Track curve radii must not be less than those specified by us, but should always be
made as large as possible in order to facilitate smooth hoist travel. Special attention
should be paid to the proper bending of beams for curved tracks. Gradients should
not exceed 2%.
Hoist travel on track beams must in no way be obstructed by protruding suspension
bolts, screw heads, butt straps, clamping plates, etc.
End stops must be fitted at both ends of the runway.
The running surfaces of rails or track beams must not be painted as this would impair
hoist travel. Rails and track beams should be kept clean; oil, grease, ice and dirt on
the running surfaces will cause travel wheels to skid.

4.10 Trolleys The trolleys are infinitely variable within the range for adjustment to different flange
widths.
When the retaining rings and washers have been removed from the connecting rods,
remove the locking screws on the wheel legs (on UDH also the locking screws on the
crossheads) and drive the tapered locking pins with a punch towards the locking
screws.
The wheel legs can then be moved along the connecting rods.
For further details see assembly and adjustment of the trolley on pages 52 – 79.
The travelling hoist unit must never be used for snatching or pulling loads or for
dragging them along the ground. The speed of the trolley should always be reduced
before the buffer stops are reached, otherwise damage or accidents may occur.
KDH low-headroom monorail hoists are supplied with an attached counterweight
box.
In order to reduce transport costs, the box is dispatched empty.
Before the trolley is put into service the counterweight box must be filled with scrap.
The quantity is determined by the width of the flange and type of trolley drive.
Balance the KDH monorail hoist exactly. Refer to assembly section 5.15 for the
counterweight.

4.11.1 Runways The minimum profile sections of beams for a monorail hoist track specified in our
brochures must be adhered to since otherwise deformations of the bottom flanges
might occur. Gradients should not exceed 2%.
Hoist travel on track beams must in no way be obstructed by protruding suspension
bolts, screw heads, butt straps, clamping plates, etc.
End stops must be fitted at both ends of the runway.
The running surfaces of rails or track beams must only be painted in the area of the
wheels with a prime coat of 40 µ. Travel characteristics would be impaired by a top
coat (see fig. 2).
Rails and track beams should be kept clean; oil, grease, ice and dirt on the running
surfaces will cause travel wheels to skid.

Hatched running surfaces with prime coat only.


Fig. 2 41651944.eps

4.11.2 Trolleys The trolleys are infinitely variable within the range for adjustment to different flange
widths.
When the retaining rings and bushes have been removed from the connecting rods,
release the threaded pin in the trolley side cheek.
The trolley side cheek can then be moved along the connecting rods.
For further details see assembly and adjustment of the trolley on pages 58 – 69.
The travelling hoist unit must never be used for snatching or pulling loads or for drag-
ging them along the ground. The speed of the trolley should always be reduced be-
fore the buffer stops are reached; otherwise damage or accidents may occur.
The low-headroom monorail hoist is counterbalanced by drive wheel 2 of the drive
carrier which presses against the track from below.

5 Assembly

5.1 Electrical equipment Work on electrical equipment may only be carried out by qualified electricians or
trained personnel, see also section 1 Safety instructions.
Each Demag hoist unit is provided with a wiring diagram showing details of the con-
trols.
The wiring of Demag hoist units complies in all respects with current DIN VDE and
accident prevention regulations. Unauthorized intervention and modifications may
result in infringement of these regulations.
The switchgear is designed for extreme conditions. However, its life depends on
usage.

Advise operators to avoid inching (i.e. giving short pulses to the motor to obtain small
movements) as far as possible, e.g. when lifting loads, to prevent excessive contact
burning and thus premature destruction of the switchgear.
Corrosion on plastic (identifiable by dull, sooty or brittle surfaces) and metal compo-
nents in enclosed switchgear housings can be caused by too frequent inching. Cor-
roded parts must be replaced accordingly. Creep speed hoisting and two speed
travel assist in limiting inching operations.

5.2 Connection to the


electrical supply

Fig. 3 41110244.eps Fig. 4 42330944.eps Fig. 5 41110444.eps

First check that the voltage and frequency specified on the data plate match your
mains supply.
Voltage changing motors are wired in our works for the voltage stated in the order.
The control transformer (if fitted) is also connected to the nominal voltage of the
mains supply. If electronic devices are incorporated in the control system (overload
protection, time relays ...), the control voltage must be measured when the equip-
ment is commissioned. If the measured value exceeds the voltage specified on the
devices by more than 10 %, the control transformer must be connected on the
primary side to terminals 11 and 12.
The equipment can be damaged if the voltage is too high!
The terminals for mains connection are located on the rear wall of the electrical
enclosure. Use a screwdriver or similar to open the enclosure (see fig. 3). If a mount-
ing plate is fitted, the hexagon screws must be removed (see fig. 4). The mounting
plate can then be swung upwards and held in position by the support (see fig. 5).
Make sure that the support is in the correct holding position.
The required supply cable conductor cross sections and fuse links can be seen in
section 2.4. Please note that the length of the supply line specified for a given cross
section must not be exceeded in order to avoid excessive voltage drop, which might
21428604.p65/090903

prevent the conical rotor of the motor from sliding into running position when the
motor is switched on.

36
The cross section can be calculated according to the example given in section 2.4/
2.5, if the supply line is longer than that indicated in section 2.4.
The wiring carried out in a works includes an earth lead which is connected to all
parts of the equipment which relevant regulations require to be included in the pro-
tective measures.
The protective conductor marked green/yellow in the supply line must be connected
to the earth terminal.
Relevant regulations DIN VDE 0100 part 726 require that it must be possible to dis-
connect all poles of the hoist motor by means of a mains switch. The mains switch
must be lockable against unauthorized or accidental interference and mounted in an
easily accessible place near to the hoist unit.

5.3 Checking the direction The direction of the hoist unit’s movement is dependent on the sequence of phases
in the power supply. When the controls for “lifting” are actuated, the load hook must
of movement move upwards. If this is not the case, two leads from the supply should be changed
over to ensure proper functioning of the emergency limit switches.
Check the top and bottom hook positions and adjust properly.

Failure to do this may result in serious damage or injury.

5.4 Control Direct control and contactor control systems are available for hoist units.
For standard controls, switchgear specially developed for Demag hoist units is used.
It features a high degree of operating safety and low space requirements with a long
service life. The electrical switchgear is installed in the electrical enclosure of the hoist
unit. The enclosure casing is protected to IP 55, i.e. it is protected against harmful
dust deposits and is hose-proof in all directions.
Do not replace fuse links by those with a rating higher than that indicated in section
2.4, since otherwise short circuit protection will be inadequate.

5.5 DSE, DST control The hoist units/trolleys are controlled by means of DSE control pendants.
pendants For direct control and in special cases, Demag DST control pendants are used.
Control pendants for Demag hoist units fitted with an operating and an emergency
limit switch must be fitted with a check button. For replacement of control pen-
dants and their switching elements, refer to the instructions in sections 5.6 and 5.7.
The control pendants should be suspended so that the bottom edge is approx. 1 m
above floor level.
The arrow symbols on the buttons must indicate the correct direction of the respec-
tive movement.

5.8 Fitting the wire rope Before a rope is reeved, the whole length of the rope should be rolled out on the
ground as shown in fig. 11. Any twisting of the rope should be strictly avoided.
Secure one rope end by means of the 3 clamps provided on the drum; commence
this operation at the spot marked “A” on the drum (clamping must begin approx.
3 cm from the end of the rope).

Incorrect! Correct!

Fig. 11 41116144.eps

Wind the rope tightly approx. 5 turns round the drum. To do this, switch on the hoist
motor for lifting, holding the rope taut. Wear thick gloves or use rags to protect the
hands.
Then fit the rope guide (see section 5.8.6).

5.8.2 Rope reeving methods for the The DH hoist unit is normally supplied with the rope separate from the bottom block.
Demag DH hoist unit For single-fall operation, the hook with fittings is attached to the rope.
Rope reeving arrangements 2/1, 4/1 and 4/2 on the DH hoist unit can be seen in the
following figs. 12 – 17.
Care must be taken to keep the rope tight and not to twist it during reeving.
The rope is retained by means of a wedge and an anchorage which is incorporated
into a special crossmember.
The rope end is properly secured if the carrying fall is introduced along the vertical
side of the anchorage, as in fig. 13, so that under load the wedge remains visible
above the anchorage and the dead end protrudes downwards by approx. 10 cm.
Refer to section 5.8 for replacement of wire ropes.
The method of securing the rope end by means of this anchorage is absolutely relia-
ble and conforms to the relevant regulations. As an additional safety feature to pre-
vent the dead end from slipping, a clip is fitted as shown in fig. 13. Additional clips
must not be used since these would cause bruising and uneven stress in the carrying
fall of the rope and thus lead to its destruction.
Single-fall ropes 1/1
The clip above the hook fittings, on the dead end of single fall ropes, prevents the
wedge from slipping out when the hook is set down.

Ensure that the oil reaches the interior of the rope construction.
When hoist units are operated outdoors and in applications with corrosive
atmosphere, we recommend additionally greasing the rope from the outside
(part no. 011 057 44) 850 g.
Fitting the rope guide: for greasing longitudinal beams, see section 5.8.6.
Grease the bearing points of the top block, crosshead, compensating sheave and
the pin of the rope anchorage with a suitable adhesive lubricant (see fig. 18).
Part no. 472 933 44.

5.8.5 Fitting the rope socket Check suspension of rope socket.


When fitting the rope socket, it must be ensured that the double spring clip engages
the groove in the setbolt/pin (see fig. 18).
When fitting the retaining ring, it must be ensured that it engages the groove in the
setbolt/pin (see fig. 18). After fitting, check whether the retaining ring can be easily
turned.
Grease the bearing points with a suitable adhesive lubricant.
Checks during maintenance work
Check play of the setbolt/pin in the counter bore hole of the retaining plate (max.
widening in retaining plate 1 mm, see fig. 18).

DH 500/600 = 33 Nm Then switch on the hoist for lifting and raise the hook to its top position. During this
DH 1000 = 70 Nm operation, the rope guide and the reeving of the rope should be watched. If twisting
DH 2000 = 110 Nm occurs during hoisting, the bottom pulley block must be set down and the wedge
removed from the anchorage fitted in the crosshead so that the rope can be untwist-
ed and wedged in again.
Then switch on the hoist for lowering until the load hook reaches its bottom position
and ensure that the first turns of rope fit closely to the drum. If necessary, the three
rope clamps can be unscrewed from the drum and retightened securely after the
rope has been pulled to fit snugly in the grooves.
Then reset the geared limit switch as described under section 6.1 in the Putting the
hoist unit into service chapter.
Rope wedge

Correct adjustment of the two limit switch emergency cut-out points is


important (see section 6.2), as otherwise the hoist unit could be damaged
and accidents may occur.

Resetting the limit switch is necessary each time the rope length has been altered,
e.g. after pulling its end further through the rope wedge anchorage in the crosshead.
Fig. 22 40110544.eps The load on new ropes should be small at first and gradually increased before the
safe working load is lifted. During this period the loads should be raised and lowered
from one hook end position to the other, in order to allow the rope to slowly stretch
and settle.

Owing to the stretching of new ropes, it is necessary to retighten the rope clamp
securing screws on the drum after short periods of lifting duty.

Assembling the EUDH trolley Insert trolley crossbar (1) into side cheek (2) (see fig. 31). Then adjust the trolley
according to the girder flange width of the track by arranging the distance washers
as specified under assembling trolleys (see pages 59 – 60).
The locknut (3) must be tightened to the specified tightening torque (see fig. 31).
Since girder flange width tolerances are relatively high, the gap between the travel
wheel flange and the girder flange must be checked on both sides to ensure that the
play does not exceed 2 mm.

Fitting the travel drive Knock the split sleeve into the hole in the side cheek (2). Then fill the travel drive with
grease – approx. 60 g, part no. 011 058 44 – see fig. 31. Screw travel drive (6) to
side cheek (2) with screw (5).
Fit the travel drive in such a way that the play between the teeth of the drive pinion
and the two travel wheels is the same.

Assembling the RUDH trolley Insert trolley crossbar (6) into side cheek (7) (see fig. 31). Then adjust the trolley
according to the girder flange width of the track by arranging the distance washers
(see pages 59 – 60).
The locknut (8) must be tightened to the specified tightening torque (see fig. 31).

Removing/fitting the If the locknut is completely removed from the crossbar, a new locknut acc. to
trolley crossbar locknut DIN 985 must be used.
The locknut (8) can be screwed onto the trolley crossbar for pre-assembly without
being pre-tensioned.
21428605.p65/090903

For final assembly, only unscrew the locknut (8) until the trolley can be placed on the

5.16 FG 06 – FG 08 – FG 10 A microspeed unit can be retrofitted to Demag hoist units.
microspeed units Conversion is done as follows:
Unscrew the four hexagon socket screws holding the brake cover and remove the
cover.
Screw the four stay bolts into the end cap (FG 06, FG 08).
Fit creep speed gearbox with creep speed motor to main hoist motor. Tighten the
four hexagon socket nuts (5) or (only in the case of FG 08 with main hoist motor
140 KBH and FG 10) socket head screws (5) uniformly to the specified torque (see
table 7).
Determine the path of displacement in inspection window (1).
If the path of displacement is too small or too great, see Main hoist motor – Adjusting
the brake, section 5.16.2.

5.16.1 Brake The creep hoist motor is supplied with the brake adjusted for the minimum rotor
displacement path lv min.

As the brake lining wears down, the path of rotor displacement increases from Iv min
to Iv max (see table 5). The brake must be adjusted as soon as Iv max is reached.

Table 5
Axial displacement of the shaft
Motor size Displacement path in mm
lv min lv max
100, 112 1,8 3,5
125, 140 2 4
160, 200, 225 2,3 4,5

It is therefore imperative to ensure, by regular maintenance, that the brake is adjust-


ed before the maximum rotor displacement is reached.
In order to be able to adjust the main hoist motor brake, an adjusting key must first
be made (see fig. 42 and table 6).
The adjusting key can also be ordered under the following part numbers:
FG 06 – 717 298 44
FG 08 – 717 398 44
FG 10 – 717 498 44

5.16.2 Main hoist motor Adjusting the brake


Determine the path of displacement in inspection window (1).
Remove plug (4).
Remove screws (3).
Adjustment can be made with the adjusting key (see fig. 42).
Set the minimum path of displacement as indicated in table 5 by turning adjusting
nut (2) clockwise. One revolution of the adjusting nut corresponds to a displacement
of the brake cup on the FG 06 of 1,5 mm, on the FG 08 and FG 10 of 2 mm.
Bolt brake shaft (10) and adjusting nut (2) together with screws (3).
Tightening torques for screws (3):
FG 06 = 6 Nm
FG 08 = 25 Nm

6 Putting the Demag DH hoist unit into service

6.1 DGS 3 and DGS 4 The DGS geared limit switch is fitted in the electrical equipment enclosure of the
DH hoist unit. It switches off the hoist motor when the top or bottom hook position is
geared limit switches reached. The direction of movement can be reversed. The emergency limit switch
must not be actuated during normal operation.
Operating limit switches are required where the end positions are approached regu-
larly during normal operation.
In such cases, the switches must be adjusted so that the operating limit switch is
actuated first and then, i.e. if this fails to operate, the emergency limit switch.
If required by accident prevention regulations, a facility for the crane operator to
check the emergency limit switch before starting work will be provided. This is then
possible using the check button in the controls. The operating limit switch can be
by-passed by pressing this button. In order to approach the emergency limit switch,
the hoist unit must be switched on and the check button pressed simultaneously.
The check button must also be pressed in order to move the hook back out of
the end position (lowering).
The functions carried out by the geared limit switch can be seen in the wiring dia-
gram provided.
Switching elements S1 – S3 in the DGS 3 and S1 – S4 in the DGS 4 can be used for
the following switching possibilities:

Switching element contacts DGS 3 (part no. 875 200 44) DGS 4 (part no. 875 201 44)

6.1.1 Determining the cut-out point The emergency limit switches must be properly adjusted to ensure prevention of
for the geared limit switch accidents and to avoid damaging the hoist unit. The emergency limit switches are
adjusted before leaving the factory to avoid complete unwinding of the rope, only.
Following installation of the hoist unit, they must be readjusted and checked for the
particular operating conditions.
If you wish to set the greatest possible lifting height for your specific operating con-
ditions, it is essential to observe the following:
The emergency limit switch for the top hook position must be set so that when it
switches off the lifting movement, the minimum distance between the top edge of
the bottom block and the bottom edge of the hoist unit frame is maintained (see
table 8).

The emergency-stop device must only be reset after the hazard and its cause have
been eliminated.

7.2 Taking the hoist out of service at the end of the shift
41233544.eps
When the work has been completed, raise the hook assembly or bottom block out-
side the travel area. Switch off the power supply at the mains connection or isolating
switch.

7.3 Taking the hoist out of service for maintenance purposes


Maintenance work on the Demag hoist unit must not commence before the load has
been removed and the mains switch/isolator switched off.
The relevant accident prevention regulations and statutory regulations must be ob-
served for operation and maintenance.
Tests and inspections required must be carried out.

8 Inspections/maintenance/general overhaul GO

8.1 Inspection before start- The operator must carry out inspections in accordance with table 10 before starting
work. Hoist units must be taken out of service immediately or not put into operation
ing work and during if any defects relating to operating safety and reliability are detected.
operation Such defects are e.g.:
• brake and safety device failure
• damage to the rope
• unusual noise in the gearbox, etc.

8.2 Inspection and mainte- The specified inspection an maintenance schedule (table 10) apply to normal hoist
unit service conditions.
nance schedule
If routine maintenance reveals that the intervals are too long or too short, they should
be adapted to the specific operating conditions.
For repairs, only use genuine Demag parts (see component parts list).
The use of spare parts not approved by Demag renders any liability and guarantee
claims void.

The theoretical duration of service D (hours at full load h) depends on the Group of
8.3 General overhaul GO Mechanisms classification of the hoist unit (see section 9, table 16).
Upon expiration of 90 % of the theoretical duration of service – if the hoist units are
correctly classified after 8 to 10 years – the owner must arrange for a general over-
haul GO to be carried out. A general overhaul must be carried out on reaching the
theoretical duration of service at the latest.
During the general overhaul the following parts must be replaced in addition to the
checks and work specified in the inspection and maintenance schedule (see
table 10).
• Gearing
• Gearbox bearings
• Motor shaft
• Motor bearings
• Connection elements
• Gear oil
The small parts (screws, washers ...) to be replaced during maintenance and assem-
bly work are not listed separately.
The general overhaul carried out by the manufacturer or an authorized specialist
company fulfils the condition for continued operation of the hoist unit. Thus the rele-
vant accident prevention regulations and the BGV D8 (VBG 8) are complied with.
Further utilization is approved when an expert engineer has entered the conditions
for further utilization into the test and inspection booklet. The completion of the gen-
eral overhaul must be confirmed in the test and inspection booklet and a further
period of utilization in accordance with FEM 9.755 must be entered.
The general overhaul may be carried out by expert engineers of Demag or an
authorized specialist company.

8.4 Wire rope For safety reasons, the wire ropes must be discarded when the number of visible
broken wires at the worst spot has reached the following figures (see table 11),
counted over a reference length of rope of 6 times or 30 times the rope diameter,
whichever gives the worst result.

A wire rope must be discarded immediately if a strand is broken, if it is found to suffer


from swelling, bruising, kinks, permanent bends or corrosion, or if it is badly worn or
damaged.

In order to discover broken strands more easily, the load must be removed from the
hoist and the rope bent manually along its entire working length, the bending radius
being approximately that of the rope sheaves.
Wire ropes for Demag hoist units can be supplied ex stock direct from our stores or
through our distributors.

Wire ropes must be replaced (according to DIN 15020, sheet 2, page 3 (table 11)) when the following numbers of broken
wires are visible

8.5 KBH main hoist motor Demag hoist units, hoist units with mechanical creep lifting and the travel drive units
for monorail hoists and double-rail crabs are supplied with the brake adjusted for the
and KBA microspeed minimum rotor displacement path lv min.
motor brake The brakes of KBH 140/160/180/200 B 2/12 pole-changing hoist motors are rated
for electrical braking. They can, therefore, only be used in conjunction with an
SGDM-1 brake relay.
As the brake lining wears down, the path of rotor displacement increases from lv min
to lv max (see table 12). The brake must be adjusted as soon as lv max is reached.

Table 12

160, 180, 200, 225 2,3 4,5

It is imperative to ensure, by regular maintenance, that the brake is adjusted before


the maximum rotor displacement is reached.
Should the braking action on Demag hoist units fitted with microspeed units diminish,
it must first be checked whether the creep or main motor brake requires adjustment.
The rotor displacement path between running and braking positions can be meas-
ured on the brake side once the louvers have been removed. This measurement
must be taken both when the motor is running and when it is at standstill.
Main hoist motor with mechanical microspeed unit
Measure the path of rotor displacement at the inspection window (see page 96,
fig. 49).
In order to be able to adjust the main hoist motor brake, an adjusting key must first
be made (see page 96, fig. 49 and table 13).
This adjusting key can also be ordered under the following part numbers:
FG 06 = 717 298 44/FG 08 = 717 398 44/FG 10 = 717 498 44.
Adjustment can be repeated several times.
It is advisable to have a spare brake lining in stock.
For brake adjustment the load must be removed from the Demag hoist unit.
When a complete motor is fitted, the surface between the motor and gearbox flange
must be sealed with Loctite 573, part no. 033 068 44.

8.5.6 Air gap Check and, if necessary, adjust the air gap between the rotor and stator after each
regular motor overhaul and also after replacement of the motor end cap, stator and
rotor or the dished washer pack, the tolerances of which influence the air gap dimen-
sion.
If the air gap is too great, motor performance is reduced and the motor temperature
rises excessively. If the air gap is too small, the rotor grazes against the stator, result-
ing in destruction of the motor.
Remove coupling half from motor shaft.
Remove brake cover (11), brake disk (10) and end cap (9).
Place motor on suitable base as in fig. 50.
Remove rotor (12).
Remove spring ring (4), thrust ring (2), dished washer pack (5) and brake spring (3)
and, if necessary, adapter washers (6) from rotor shaft (12).
In the following order, fit dished washer pack (5), thrust ring (2) and spring ring (4)
onto rotor shaft (12). The thrust ring is supplied in a variety of thicknesses to com-
pensate for manufacturing tolerances. First select the thrust ring of a medium
thickness. Fit thrust ring (2) with 45° bevel facing towards spring ring (4).
Insert rotor (12), fitted as above, into stator (7) and lower carefully until thrust ring (2)
butts against thrust bearing (8).
Insert three feeler gauges of the correct air gap dimension at 120° from each other
into the air gap between stator and rotor core for their entire length. The air gap is
correct when all three feeler gauges can be moved up and down with little effort.
21428608.p65/090903

If the air gap is too wide fit a thinner thrust ring, or if too narrow a thicker thrust ring
instead of the first one onto rotor shaft (12) and check the air gap once more.
Take rotor (1) out again and remove spring ring (4), thrust ring (2) and dished washer
pack (5). Then fit brake spring (3) and, if required, adapter washers (6) and the re-
moved parts onto rotor shaft (12).
It must be ensured that spring ring (4) snaps into the corresponding groove on the
shaft. When released, brake spring (3) pushes thrust ring (2) against spring ring (4).
Refit end cap (9).
Fit brake disk (10) and brake cover (11) as in section 8.5.1.

8.6.1 B003, B004, B020, B050 Apart from wear, the brake is virtually maintenance-free.
brakes The brake lining is designed in such a way that worn surface particles are only given
off as minimal abrasion. This built-in regeneration of the brake lining surface ensures
constant braking characteristics. It is advisable to check the brake air gap s1 at cer-
tain intervals and to adjust it as necessary to ensure the brake releases reliably.
Brake air gap s1min = 0,30 mm – s1max = 1,2 mm
When the brake is released (power applied to brake coil), the brake disk can be freely
turned.
It is only possible to give guide values for brake operation until adjustment as they
depend on the given operating conditions.

adjusted for the minimum brake displacement path of approx.
brake 1,5-2,0 mm mot. 80.
As the brake lining wears down, the path of rotor displacement increases.
The brake must be adjusted before the path of displacement has reached a maxi-
mum of 3,0 mm for 80 motors
It is therefore imperative to ensure, by regular maintenance, that the brake is
adjusted before the maximum brake displacement is reached.
For brake adjustment the load must be removed from the hoist unit.

microspeed units, AMK 10, Under normal operating conditions, the oil should be changed after 10,000 hours of
AMK 20, AUK 30, AUK 40, service. Under exceptional conditions, e.g. increased ambient temperatures, we
AUK 50 travel drives recommend that oil changes be adapted to suit these conditions.

Oil change
Drain the old oil at operating temperature. To do this, first remove the air vent screw
at the top of the gearbox and then the plug at the bottom, and the oil will run out. For
the first oil change we recommend that the gearbox be flushed with oil of the same
type as that used before for lubrication.
The flushing oil should have a viscosity of 46-68 mm²/s at 40 °C. The quantity of
flushing oil should be approx. twice that specified for lubrication. Switch the motor on
and allow the gears to run without load for several minutes before draining the flush-
ing oil. Repeat this operation several times, also in alternate directions of rotation, to
ensure that all remains of the old lubricant are drained together with the flushing oil.
The quantity of oil required is indicated on the gearbox data plate.

Oil grades
For ambient temperatures of approx. -10° C to +50° C, a gear oil of 220 mm²/s at
40° C with mild high-pressure additives should be used, e.g. BP ENERGOL
GR-XP 220, Esso Spartan EP 220, SHELL Omala oil 220, Mobilgear 630 or Aral
Degol BG 220. At higher or lower ambient temperatures, the type of oil used should
be adapted to the specific conditions.

9 Measures for achieving safe working periods

The safety and health provisions of EC directive 98/37/EC make it a legal


requirement to eliminate special hazards which may be caused by, for example,
fatigue and ageing.
This requirement is also reflected in the 3rd supplement to German accident preven-
tion regulations BGV D8 (VBG 8) of 1.4.1996. This requirement obliges the owner of
serial hoist units to determine the actual duration of service of the hoist unit on the
basis of the operating hours, load spectra and/or recording factors. This is based on
FEM 9.755/06.1993 “Measures for achieving safe working periods for powered serial
hoist units (S.W.P.)”.
The objective of this rule is to determine measures for achieving safe working periods
(S.W.P.) over the entire duration of service, although, according to the state-of-the-
art, hoist units are designed for specific periods of operation. Premature failure
cannot, however, be ruled out.

The following items have been taken from FEM rule 9.755 with reference to the
DH hoist unit:

1. The actual duration of service determined on the basis of operating time and load
must be documented at least once per year.
2. The operating time Ti (number of operating hours) can be estimated or read on the
hook travel counter of the DGS geared limit switch (see section 6.1).
3. The load kmi (load spectrum factor) must be estimated.
4. The value determined for operating time Ti using a hook travel counter must be
multiplied by the type of recording factor f = 1,1.
5. The actual duration of service S is calculated as: S = kmi x Ti x f
6. A general overhaul must be carried out when the theoretical duration of service is
reached.
7. All checks and inspections and the general overhaul must be arranged by the
owner of the hoist unit.
8. The measures listed under items 1 – 5 are not required if the duration of service is
determined using a load spectrum recorder (optional). The general overhaul does
not have to be carried out until the theoretical duration of service has been
reached.
A general overhaul is defined as:
An inspection of the machinery with the purpose of finding all defective components
and/or components and parts close to failure and the replacement of all such com-
ponents and parts. Following a general overhaul, the machinery is in a condition
similar to that of the same machinery in new condition as far as the principle of
operation and performance values are concerned.

For DH hoists classified according to FEM 9.511, the following theoretical durations
of service D [h] apply (converted into full load hours):

Table 16
1Bm 1Am 2m 3m 4m

(h) 400 800 1600 3200 6300

The actual duration of service is considerably increased if the hoist unit is only oper-
ated with partial load. For a hoist unit operated on average with half load, for exam-
ple, this results in an 8-fold increase in the actual duration of service.

9.1 Calculating the actual The S.W.P. for the DH hoist unit can be calculated based on the following method:
duration of service S S = kmi x Ti x f
kmi : Load spectrum factor
21428611.p65/090903

Ti : Number of operating hours


f : Factor depending on the type of recording

114
9.1.1 Estimating the load spectrum To simplify estimation, each type of load can be grouped together into km load spec-
factor kmi (by the owner) trum modules. The types of load are simplified and quoted as 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 load and
full load.
Dead loads are added to the loads. Loads up to 20% of the rated load capacity are
not taken into consideration.
The operating time for each type of load is divided up within the inspection interval
(e.g. 1 year) in terms of percentage.

The following bar diagram shows the km load spectrum modules for the load condi-
tions from no load up to full load in time increments of 5 and 10%. Larger shares of
the time period must be correspondingly added together.

By means of the number of operating hours Ti, the estimated load spectrum factor

Adding the load spectrum modules together results in the load spectrum factor

On the hook travel counter for the period

from 23 March 1999 to 1 April 2000 the following H value was calculated:

0 000 001 0 393 366 => 393 365

factor Z to table 17 => 0,68

393365 x 0,68
Ti [h] = = 267,5 [h]

Thus, the actual duration of service amounts to:

S = kmi x Ti x f = 0,119 x 267,5 x 1,1 = 35,0 (hours)

For classification in FEM group of mechanisms 1Am (see DH data plate) with a
theoretical duration of service of 800 hours (see table 18) the hoist has a theoretical
remaining duration of service of 765 hours.
