Important information: The crane / lifting gear must not be put to use before the final
load- and function test carried out by the classification society.
How to Use These Instructions
These assembly, operating and service instructions must be read thoroughly and understood
before the FUCHS Fördertechnik AG lifting appliance ( crane, chain hoist, wire rope hoist or trolley)
is commissioned, and must be accessible by operators at all times during use.
By its nature a lifting appliance represents a potential hazard as a result of the lifting and handling
of loads, and so this chapter should be read with particular care and attention.
These instructions also contain danger, warning and safety advice and instructions.
Failure to comply with these instructions can expose persons to direct risk or to risk from
premature damage to the product.
This hazard information must be complied with. Subject to technical modification without notice.
Proper Use
FUCHS Fördertechnik AG lifting appliances are designed solely for lifting and also for the
horizontal off-floor handling of loads when used in conjunction with travel trolleys.
The Safe Working Load (SWL) as stated in the Inspection Schedule and on nameplates, the FEM
classification and the operating time and number of switching operations must be observed.
The lifting gear can be operated as hoists mounted on static supporting structures or as traveling
hoists suspended from suitable running rails by means of manual or electric travel trolleys. In all
cases the supporting structure must be adequately designed having regard to the SWL and dead
weight of the hoists and the relevant regulations.
The lifting appliances are designed essentially for operation indoors within non-aggressive
environments and at temperatures between -10°C and +45°C. Higher ambient temperatures will
require a reduction in the maximum operating times.
Non-standard operating conditions and configurations must be specially inspected and agreed,
and the manufacturer's approval may be necessary.
Improper use includes:
 Exceeding the SWL
 Dragging loads at an angle
 Using the hoists in explosive area
 Pulling jammed loads free, dragging or towing loads
 Catching falling loads
 Carrying persons with the load or load carrying devices
 “Jogging” ('inching') operations
 Persons standing under suspended loads .
 Slack chaining
 Straight reversing, i.e. reversing the hoist while it is running
 Intentionally running up against emergency limit switches and end stops
(see also Chapter 2.2 "Safety Guidance for the User')
Regulations'
FUCHS lifting appliances are designed, manufactured, tested and must be operated in accordance

Type of Lubricant
Lubrication
Before starting and before storing for a long period, the seal in the vent plug must be removed in
order to prevent excessive pressure and oil leaks.
Gear units and geared motors leave the factory ready for operation filled with mineral oil. All
units shipped are filled with the lubricant (normal) listed in the ambient temperature column of
the following chart. For other ambient temperatures the listed lubricants are available at an
additional charge.
The lubricant should be changed every 10.000 service hours or after two years. For synthetic
products, the tube should be changed every 20.000 service hours or after four years. In case of
extreme operating conditions, e.g. high humidity, aggressive environment and large temperature
variations, shorter intervals between changes are recommended. It is advisable to combine the
lubricant change with thorough cleansing of the gear unit. The bearings filled with grease must
also be cleaned every 10.000 service hours and packed with fresh grease. When doing so
ensure that the bearing is packed to about 1/3 with grease.

Note: Synthetic and mineral lubricants must not be mixed.

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
Conditions of Use
The use of the spring pressure brake presents no problems. The only requirements are that the
size is carefully selected and that grease and oil are not allowed to penetrate into the friction
surfaces. Moderate dust deposits have no harmful effect.
The brake can be equipped subsequently with a dust-proof seal in connection with a second
friction disc when there is increased dust accumulation.

If due to the operation conditions there is a danger of friction linings rusting onto the armature (4)
or onto the brake flange (1), the armature and brake flange can be supplied additionally with a
friction disc made from non-rusting material (extra charge).
We also recommend this version if the drives have to be stored of for lengthy periods.

Installation
Attach the driver to the shaft in the axial direction and secure against rotation. Ensure that the
driver cannot touch the secondary friction surface. Clearance to secondary friction surface 0,5–1
mm taking into consideration the shaft end play (Fig.2).
Push brake disc onto driver. Fasten ready assembled magnet system to cover plate or
intermediate flange using machine screws.

Adjustment and Readjustment of Clearance
Set the clearance using a feeler gauge by turning the adjustment screws. Tighten machine screws.
The clearance should be uniform all round (Fig. 1).
The braking torque is set to the rated moment. It can be reduced by turning the adjustment ring to
50%.

Replacing the Brake Disc
Loosen magnet system and pull back. Replace brake disc. Fasten magnet system and adjust
clearance as described above.
Subsequent Attachment of Hand Release
Push screws with washers and springs through the holes provided in the magnet and armature.
Position hand release mechanism and tighten with self-locking nuts. Adjust the hand release so
that dimension m in table 1, (see also Fig.3) is maintained under all circumstances. Dimension m
applies only for rated torque. For reduced braking torque m must be increased so that the hand
release does not obstruct the armature stroke even at the greatest possible grab.

Mounting Preparations
Prior to mounting the rails the rail pieces and, if applicable, the rail curves are to be cut to size
according to the track run. At all track joints a track coupler is to be provided.
Energy Supply Assembly
Rail Mounting To Ceiling Construction Tools Required
Standard Tools
For mounting the energy supply system, standard metric tools are necessary.

Mounting Steps

The rails are mounted on an existing ceiling construction by means of track support brackets.
Rail Mounting To I-Beam

Illustration: Rail mounting with support arms


If the ambient conditions of the application allow it, it is also possible to mount the rail with support
arms. No drillings in the existing steel construction are required.
The support arms and girder clips are not part of the normal scope of supply.
This method of rail track suspension will allow complete horizontal adjustability and greatly assist in
aligning the rail track.

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
Mounting The Components In The C Rail
Install terminal box and end clamp to the rail at the feeding point of the energy supply system.
Install cable trolleys into the rail, inserting the towing trolley or the ideal control unit trolley last.
Finally the open rail ends are closed with end caps.
Mounting The Cables
Depending on the type of application the cables have to be mounted with a length addition of 10 -
25 % in addition to the actual track travelling length. The max. permissible cable loop is often
determined by the existing conditions. In curved tracks the max. permissible cable loop is 35% of
the smallest curved track radius.

Table: Length addition

After the C rail has been installed the cable trolleys are inserted into the rail. The cables are
installed onto the support saddle starting from the end clamp, then all the cable trolleys are pushed
together towards the end stop and the loops are aligned to equal length. Finally the cables are
clamped.

If several flat cables are placed on a cable trolley the thickest flat cable has to be placed on top. In
case of round cables, the main cables are placed at the edge of the support; the cables with the
largest diameters are placed in the centre.

Illustration: Examples for the arrangement of cable packets

The electrical connection of the system must be carried out by a trained electrician.

Cable Organisers
If there are large cable packages and long cable loops (starting with 2 m cable loop) it is
recommended to install the cable organiser at the bottom of the loop. This will ensure the cable
package is kept neat, and any twisting of a single cable or loop is prevented.

Connection To Hoist Unit
A towing arm is mounted to the hoist unit to tow the energy supply system. This towing arm
interfaces with the towing trolley installed at the end of the energy supply system. The towing arm
is supplied by the customer because the dimensions depend on the location of the current supply
and can differ.

Special Steps During Assembly

Track Support Bracket

Illustration: Track support bracket with locking screw

The track support brackets are slipped onto the C rail and mounted to the suspension construction
with the rail. With the locking screw the C rail is clamped in the track support bracket.
Alternatively, it is also possible to mount the track support brackets to the suspension construction
first, and to insert the C rail pieces and to clamp them with the locking screws afterwards.

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
Illustration: Securing the rail against sliding
In the first and last track support bracket the C rail has to be secured against sliding in the
horizontal direction. Therefore, holes with 6.2 mm diameter are drilled into the side of the rail where
the locking screws can interface.
It has to be ensured, that the locking screws do not protrude on the inner wall of the rail as the
rollers of the trolleys might get damaged.

Track Coupler

Illustration: Track coupler


The track coupler is slid halfway onto the first joint of the C rail and then clamped. The correct
position can be verified at the sight hole of the coupler. The second C rail piece is inserted and
clamped gap-free. The C rails need to be cut in a right angle and deburred. Be sure that the
locking screws are tightened equally to avoid any displacement of the rails in the coupler area.

End Clamp
The end clamp is inserted behind the end stop and then clamped tightly.

Illustration: End clamp for round cables

Special Precautions During Assembly


During the assembly of the rail track it is recommended to check that there is trouble-free
movement of the trolleys within the rail with the help of one of the supplied cable trolleys. If a trolley
with horizontal guide rollers is used, even a slight lateral deformation of the rail can cause a
displacement or even jamming of the trolley.

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
Attention should be paid to the positioning of the towing trolley. The connection between towing
arm and towing trolley prevents damage to the cable. The towing unit should be positioned in such
a way that the travel unit (crane carriage) of the crane can be used as space for stowing the towing
trolleys etc. (compare following diagram)

Safety advice
Advice for the use of electric chain hoists
Electric chain hoists are designed to lift and to lower loads vertically and to travel horizontally with
those lifted loads (with trolleys). Every other mode of use is prohibited and the risk is the operator’s
responsibility and will be fully at the risk of the operator. Please ask the producer for any special
mode of use in advance.
Using the hoist to carry people is strictly prohibited!
The modern design of the hoists guarantees safety and economic use.
The patented safety clutch system is located between motor and brake.
This enables the brake to hold the load without any power transmitted by the clutch.
Electric chain hoists are driven by use of electrical energy.
Before first using please make sure, that all electrical wires are connected safely, that all wires are
without damage and that the whole equipment could be switched off a main switch.
It is the responsibility of the operator to make sure that all suspension points of the hoist are
calculated to safely withstand the dynamic forces caused by the lifting equipment.
The chain hoist is usable when the hoist is safely suspended and the outgoing chain can leave the
hoist safely in the relevant direction.
Therefore the container for the dead end of the chain outside the hoist must be big enough to allow
the chain coming out. If not the chain can be trapped inside the hoist and can brake the casing of
the hoist.
For use of the hoist in an aggressive environment – please consult the producer.
European regulations
The basis for the assembly, first use, certification and maintenance of electric chain hoists are
within Germany and within the area of the European community, the following regulations, and all
recommendations of this manual.

Special version –Suspension with single-hole eye –
Assembly: The suspension with single- hole eye section, which forms part of the standard
delivery, must be
inserted into the specially provided suspension holes on the electric chain hoist and pinned into
place
with the two bolts. Use washers and a nylock to secure the position of the bolts.

Suspension with single hole eye

Caution! The single hole eye must be


assembled in such a way that the centre of
gravity for single fall or double fall of chain has
to be vertically in line with the suspension hole
of the suspension eye. The correct location is
shown by the blue arrows on the suspension
eye and on the hoist body which have to be at
the same side of the hoist.
If a hoist with a single hole eye has to be
converted to a different number of load falls the
single hole eye has to be dismantled, turned by
180° degrees and to be refitted to the
suspension holes of the hoist.

Gear ventilation
Having completed assembly, the split washer is placed under the oil-filler plug (top side of casing).

Mounting the chain box


The figure above shows how the chain box is mounted.
The chain collector has to be mounted with a screw M 20x180 DIN 931 and secured with a nylock
nut.
The chain collector is equipped with a piece of chain which secures the box and fixes the correct
position.
 This piece of chain has to be put into the pocket in the casing of the hoist and must be
secured with a screw M 8x30 DIN 933 with washer.
 The last link of this chain (7x22) fits into the special seat of the chain collector and has to be
secured with a screw M8x35 and nylock.
 Please make sure that this chain is tightened and not twisted at all.
Caution! Check if the size of the chain box at hand is sufficient to accommodate the respective
chain length of the chain hoist (chain dimensions and holding capacity can be read on the bottom
of the chain box). Insert the chain end with lift limiter loosely into the chain box.
After running in the chain box, check again to make sure that the chain bag is not filled more than
the capacity level mark shows.
Don’t use chain bags which are filled more than this level mark indicates.
Please make sure that any parts of the load or any slings (chain, rope or canvas material) cannot
touch the chain bag.

Caution! When changing the load chain and converting to other numbers of falls never allow the
chain to come out of the casing completely, always pull in new chain or a short piece of chain with
the connecting piece. After having mounted the new load chain remove the short piece of chain
and connecting piece.
Let the dead end of the chain go into the chain bag by pressing the up button and using the hoist
motor to prevent knots inside the chain collector.
* End stop
The end stop operates the limit switch during the down movement of the chain and prevents the
chain from running out of the hoist. In the unlikely event of a failed limit switch the end stop
operates as an emergency stop and lets the clutch slide. It is not allowed to use this emergency
stop permanently.

Electrical Connection
The connection work has to be done in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
After having completed the installation carry out the tests according to sections 20.2 and 20.3 of
DIN EN 60 204-1 (Europe).
Details on the control can be seen in the wiring diagram. The electric installation complies with the
currently valid DIN VDE 0100, section 726 and DIN EN 60204-32 (Europe).
Mains connection
The mains current supply (main incoming line conductor) must be disconnected at all poles (in
emergency cases) by means of a mains switch (in accordance with EN 60 204-1).
Work on the electric installation may only be carried out by trained specialists and equipment must
first be disconnected from the current supply.
Check if the mains voltage agrees with that specified on the rating plate.
Connect mains current supply lines and control line in accordance with wiring diagram.
The terminals for L1, L2, L3 and neutral for mains power supply lines are located in the control box.
A cable with three cores + neutral (min. 1,5 mm²) is required for mains current supply lines.
After connecting, press button for lift. If the load moves downwards, interchange the L1 and L3
supply cores. (disconnect mains supply before!).
Electric limit switch for lift limitation
The hoist comes with electric limits for the highest and lowest hook position (figure 14 and 16).
Please make sure during first operation that the lifting direction shown on the pendant control
agrees to the real hoist movements as this is absolutely necessary for the safe operation of the
limit switches.

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
The cranes must be tested by an expert before starting operation for the first time and after
extensive alterations.
The electric chain hoists are type tested.
Regular tests
The equipment, cranes and supporting structures must be tested by a trained specialist once a
year. It may be necessary to carry out tests more often if the operating conditions are very
demanding, that means for example high percentage of use with full load, dusty or aggressive
environment, high duty rate, high number of operation cycles. If carried out this regular test the
remaining period of operation has to be calculated and recorded (for Germany only)
Only experts appointed by the trade associations and experts from the Technical Control
Association are considered qualified to test cranes.
Trained specialists are highly-qualified specialist personnel or the manufacturer’s after-sales
assemblers.
Operation
 The load may only then be moved if it is slung securely and no person is standing near
enough to be at risk and when the operator has received an all clear signal from the person
slinging the load (VBG 8, section 29.1, paragraph 1).
 The load must be placed vertically under the electric hoist before lifting.
 The motion directions are indicated with symbols on the control buttons.
 Do not turn the chain over edges.
 Consult the manufacturer or supplier, if the hoist is to be used in aggressive environment (for
instance acid or alkaline or dusty environment or to transport inflammable or other dangerous
loads).
 Don’t lower the double fall hook if the chain gets slack.
 Repair work has to be done only if mains supply is switched off and no load is suspended on
the hook.
 After switching off the emergency stop the reason for this failure has to be found out by
trained people and the hoist can only be used if all possible failures are removed.
 Lifting the load from the ground has to be done with the lowest possible speed. Before doing
this slack sling chains or ropes have to be tightened carefully.
 Don’t touch the chain near the lifting gear if in operation.
Prohibitions on Use
Inching mode
 Permanent run against the rubber washers of the lowest and highest hook position or
lifting loads with bigger weight as marked on the specification plate
 Transporting people
 Using the hoist with people being underneath the load
 Starting initial operation before an expert or a trained specialist has inspected the equipment.
 Moving loads heavier than the nominal load.
 Pulling loads which are tilted or dragging loads.
 Tearing off loads.
 Removing the cover of vessels under vacuum.
 Carrying out repairs without disconnecting the current supply and without special knowledge.
 Using the lifting chain to sling the loads.
 Using the lifting chain longer than that stated under the chain bag.
 Using the hoist with higher duty rate as marked on the specification plate.
 Using the hoist without having done the regular inspection.

Explanation by function
The anchor plate (2) is axially moveable and is pressed by the brake pressure springs (4) to the
brake linings (7), the brake disc (9) and the basic plate (6) and provides the brake torque by that
way.
The brake linings (7) are vulcanized on the brake disc (9) which is positively counted by the
coupling sleeve (11) (by key grooves) with the motor pinion shaft (10).
Between anchor plate (2) and anchor plate (2) and magnetic coil (1) has to be an air gap of 0,4
mm.
If the magnetic coil gets a D.C. power it will establish a magnetic field and pulls the anchor plate
towards the coil. Now the brake is released and the hoist is ready to lift or lower the load. If the
D.C. power is cut off, the anchor plate moves back caused by force of the pressure springs, the
brake is closed and the load securely stopped
Adjusting the brake
(see sketch: Construction of the brake)
The air gap between anchor plate (2) and magnetic coil (1) has to be checked. It is set to 0,4 mm
during production. After many lift operations this air gap may increase caused by wear of the brake
linings. If it is about 0,7 mm the brake has to be readjusted as follows:
1. Disconnect the hoist from mains supply
2. Remove the fan cap after loosening the screws
3. Pull the dust protection ring (16) out of the groove in the magnetic coil and pull it over the
basic plate (6) to get access to the brake disc
4. Remove the dust by using compressed air
5. Check the thickness of the brake disc (9) with the vulcanized linings (7). If it is less than 9,5
mm the whole brake disc has to be replaced
6. Loosen the screws (14) approximately a half turn (After about two adjustment procedures
these screws have to be replaced)
7. Tighten the hollow screws (5) approximately 1 mm towards the magnetic coil (1)
8. Tighten the screws (14) as much as an air gap of 0,4 mm between anchor plate (2) and
magnetic coil (1) is reached (use a thickness gauge to check)
9. Turn the hollow screws (5) out of the magnetic coil until they press against the basic plate (6)
again
10. Tighten the screws (14) again equally
11. Double check the air gap again by using a thickness gauge
Make sure that the air gap has the same size all around the brake
12. If necessary readjust the air gap again
13. Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws (14) with 10 Nm
14. Refit the O- ring (15) and the dust protection ring (16) to the groove between magnetic coil
and brake disc
15. Connect the cable with the plug
16. Mount the fan cap
17. Connect mains supply again
18. Check for proper operation

If stopping the lowering movement with nominal load there should be a slide of not more than two
chain links. The load should not stop immediately to avoid any impact stress.
Electric control of brake / Sliding clutch
Mode of functioning
The disc brake is supplied through a rectifier circuit. It operates according to the fail safe principle.
If there is a power failure, the brake acts automatically so that the load is held securely in every
position. To shorten the braking distance the brake is operated in a D.C. circuit.

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
Sliding clutch
The sliding clutch is located between the motor and the brake so that the power from the brake to
the load is transmitted by gear parts in form-fitting connection. Even if the clutch is seriously worn,
the load will not fall uncontrolled as the load can be held in every position by the brake. The sliding
clutch operates as a dry clutch. The difference between the static and the sliding friction
coefficients of the asbestos-free lining is so slight that it has no effect on the functional reliability.
The sliding clutch is an emergency stop and it is not allowed to use it permanently.
Therefore the hoist is equipped with limit switches for lifting and lowering as standard.

Construction of the sliding clutch

Construction of the sliding clutch


The sliding clutch from two clutch hubs (17) which are connected with the motor shaft by
one feather key at each side, the clutch linings (18), two clutch discs (19) with two
cylindrical bolts (20) with connect the rotor (12) with the clutch discs (19). The compressor
(23), the pressure bolt (24) with O- ring (25), the compressor 2 (23), the pressure bush (26),
the pressure spring (27), the fan (28) and the lock nut (29) are located on the motor shaft.

Adjustment of the sliding clutch


If the load is measured with a compression spring tool the load value reading for setting the clutch
is up to 30% higher.
1. Loosen the lock nut (29)
2. Compress the clutch spring sensitively by tightening the threaded bush with the fan (28) until
the load is just lifted.
If turning the bush clockwise the clutch torque will increased
If turning the bush counterclockwise the clutch torque will decrease.
3. Lock the threaded bush using the lock nut (29) after having completed the adjustment.
4. Test the clutch setting once more by raising the nominal load to the uppermost load position
and letting clutch slip. The clutch should not slip for longer than 2 - 3 seconds.
Load chain
Hoist chains are means of carrying which require official approval. It is, therefore, important to
observe the guidelines issued by the trade association’s centre for accident prevention with regard
to round steel chains in hoisting operation, the guidelines for general inspection and test
specifications in accordance with DIN 685, section 5, Nov 1981, the accident prevention

- Seite / Page 81 -

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
regulations in VBG 8 of April 1980/1990 and in VBG 9 of December 1979 / April 1983 or equivalent
regulations in the country in question.

Lubricating the load chain before starting and during operation


The links along the entire length of the load chain must be lubricated with a penetrating gear
lubricant oil before starting operation for the first time and during unloaded operation. Subsequent
lubrication, whereby the links must be cleaned first, depends on the degree of use and the
operating conditions.
A dry-film lubricant, e.g. lubricating varnish, graphite powder, should be used when ambient
influences are conducive to wear (sand, emery).

Testing wear in the load chain


The continuous monitoring of the load chain is compulsory according to DIN 685 section 5 and the
accident prevention regulations in VBG 8 section 27. The load chain must be tested before starting
operation and after approx. 200 operating hours or 10,000 load cycles under normal conditions or
more often under demanding and severe conditions.
Testing must cover checking links, particularly at their points of contact, for wear, cracks,
deformation and other damages.
The chain must be replaced:
 if the nominal thickness at the points of contact is reduced by 10%,
 if the chain or a link is elongated by 5 %, or an eleven links piece of chain is elongated by 2%
 if the links are rigid
The chain guide and hold-down must also be replaced with the chain.
Caution! Replacement of chain can only be filled if obtained from the manufacturer or his
approved service agent.

Measuring wear and replacing chain

Measuring wear and replacing chain


Duty rate of an electric chain hoist
The duty rate and the number of operating
cycles in one hour must not be higher than as on
the specification plate of the hoist or in a
technical data table.
(European regulation FEM 9.682)
The duty rate, expressed as the cyclic duration
factor (c.d.f.) is the ration of
running time to running time + period of rest
Formula 2:

The duty rate is limited by the permissible degree of heat in the lifting motor. The running time is
dependent on the necessary lifting height, lifting speed of the electric chain hoist and the number

- Seite / Page 82 -

FUCHS Fördertechnik AG Am Knick 18 22113 Oststeinbek Tel.: +49 40 7100100 Fax: +49 40 71001099
of lifting motions required for a particular transport procedure (unloading trucks, feeding machines).
It is difficult in practice to take note of the duty rate during the lifting operation. We, therefore, give
the following practical guidelines:

Short- time duty


Permissible operating period without cooling interval when operation starts and with a motor
temperature of approx. 20° C.
c.d.f. driving gear group operating period
[duty rate %] DIN 5684 part 3 [min]
25 % 1 Bm 20

This duty type is not permissible for the slower speed of precision hoisting motors. After having
reached the maximum running time a break is required and the hoist can be continued to be used
in intermittent duty mode.
Intermittent duty

Operation must be interrupted whenever the highest permissible operating time is reached.
The following breaks are necessary depending on the c.d.f. of the hoist::
c.d.f. break [min]
[duty rate %]
25% 3 times running time

Rectifier control of hoist motor

The hoist motor (M21..) is equipped with a control function of the brake rectifier. This means:

When the operator activates the - hoist up slow or fast - function via the control pendant, the
operating voltage (Uo) is switched on to the winding of the motor. At the same time, the output
voltage (Uv_out) of the rectifier is measured.
If it is not measured within 1 sec, the hoist upward motion is blocked (refer to “MALFUNCTION”).

Power supply (Uo) Brake power supply (Uv_out)


400VAC 50/60Hz ~180VDC
440VAC 50/60Hz ~205VDC
690VAC 50/60Hz ~180VDC

In the case of a malfunction of the rectifier, the hoist motor drives briefly against the blocked brake,
before the upward hoist motion is brought to a halt. However, this has no effect either on the
functionality or the durability of the brake.

In the case of malfunction the rectifier should be exchanged immediately!

Emergency Procedure

The hoist motion -downward slow or fast- is independent of the control function, so that the hook
can be lowered at any time.

Attention:

If the rectifier fails, the load may only be lowered in steps of 1m with at least 20sec pause in
between, in order to avoid an overheating of the brake coil or melting of the brake lining.

Example
The electric chain hoist type 6300/1-5,6/1,4 is to lift loads of 6300 kg to a height of 3 m.
Performance data:
Carrying load 6300 kg
Lifting speed 5,6 m/min – main speed
1,4 m/min – slow speed
Uninterrupted duty 25 % – main speed
10 % – slow speed
On starting the work of unloading the vehicle, the electric chain hoist has a cold temperature of
approx. 20 °C.
3m lifting + 3m lowering
Running time = -------------------------------------- = 1 min, 4 sec
5,6m (lifting speed)
Approx. 20 minutes operation without break is possible. This covers 18 lifting cycles x 6300 kg
carrying load = 113.400 kg goods can be transported.
After 20 minutes of running time, 3 minutes break for each minute of operating time must be taken
(i.e. 3 times the operating time). This break is usually necessary for slinging and taking off loads.

Caution! Cooling periods are imperative for extreme lifting heights (from 10 meters on). Precision
lifting should only be used for precise lowering and lifting. It is not suitable when greater lifting
heights are involved.
Option! To protect the lifting motor a thermal overload device is offered as an option.
Lubrication
Gear lubrication
The gear is filled with two liters of oil by the manufacturer. If the oil is drained it has to be disposed
in accordance with the laws of environmental protection. The oil has to be changed only if the hoist
is going to be overhauled. If the oil has to be changed, use oil for a temperature range of -20°
to+40°C and viscosity of 220 mm²/s at 40°C.
Lubrication of the hook block and hook tackle
Lubricate the anti-friction bearings on the hook and the chain sprocket after approx. 20,000 lifting
cycles or a year, if in heavy use shorten the interval, use a special anti- friction bearing grease.

Disposal
After the hoist or its components are taken finally out of operation the parts have to be disposed in
accordance to the laws of environment protection.
Metals, rubber, plastics have to be disposed or recycled separately.

ATTENTION
The advice contained within this manual should only be implemented by the appropriate
skilled and qualified operators of industrial hoists.
Further information for other fields of operation are not considered herewith.
If changes to the normal operations are discovered (such as unusual noise, vibrations,
higher input current or frequently blowing fuses) the hoist should be taken out of operation
and the load area has to be isolated because a fault is possible and could result in danger
to people or goods.
The operator or owner of the hoist has to call a trained specialist to repair the hoist.

RECTIFIER CONTROL OF HOIST MOTOR

The hoist motor (M21..) is equipped with a control function of the brake rectifier. This means:

When the operator activates the - hoist up slow or fast - function via the control pendant, the
operating voltage (Uo) is switched on to the winding of the motor. At the same time, the output
voltage (Uv_out) of the rectifier is measured.
If it is not measured within 1 sec, the hoist upward motion is blocked (refer to “MALFUNCTION”).
