Electric chain hoists

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The ABUCompact electric chain hoists are designed for efficient lifting operations, available in models GM2 to GM8 and GMC. These hoists include a pendant control handset and are equipped with pre-fitted chain collectors and mains connections. They are painted in RAL 5017 (traffic blue) and feature a hinged, removable suspension bracket.
Specifications
  • GM2 to GM8: Operate on 3-phase AC, 380 to 415 V, 50 Hz, with IP 55 protection and insulation class F. They offer two lifting speeds and overload protection with an adjustable slipping clutch.
  • GMC: Operates on single-phase AC, 230 V, 50 Hz, with IP 21 protection. It features infinitely variable lifting speed and fixed adjustment overload protection.
Standard Equipment
The ABUCompact hoists are modular, allowing for various configurations. They include a DC disk brake, a high-strength galvanized steel chain, and quick plug-type connectors for easy installation and maintenance.
Technical Details
  • Motor and Gear Unit: Modular design with sturdy squirrel-cage motors and encapsulated gear units.
  • Safety Features: Integrated safety brake with asbestos-free linings and a slipping clutch for overload protection.
  • Chain System: High-precision chain sprocket and guide for easy replacement.
Optional Extras
Additional features include an operating hours meter, ABUliner frequency converter for variable speed control, electronic limit switches, and radio remote control. These options enhance convenience and safety during operation.
Trolleys
ABUS offers push trolleys and electric trolleys with sturdy designs, roller bearings, and adjustable flange widths. They are available in traffic blue and are compatible with various chain hoist models.
Specifications
The document outlines the specifications for ABUS electric chain hoists, including optional equipment and additional housing for extended electric/electronic equipment. It specifies the operating voltage for different models (GM2, GM4, GM6, GM8) and their control types. The main lifting speeds range from 3 m/min to 20 m/min, with varying load capacities depending on the model and number of falls.
Selection Tables
The selection tables provide detailed information on the load capacities and lifting speeds for different models of electric chain hoists. It includes specifications for both 3-phase and 1-phase operating voltages.
Longer Hook Paths / Control Cables
This section discusses the availability of longer hook paths and control cables for use with ABUS electric chain hoists. It includes specifications for beam flange width and thickness.
Clamping Buffers and Trolley Current Collectors
The document provides details on ABUS clamping buffers and trolley current collectors, including their dimensions, weight, and compatibility with specific beam types.
Festoon Power Supply System
The festoon power supply system is designed for track lengths up to 30 meters. It includes components such as end clamps, clamping brackets, flat cable carriers, and rail connectors. The system is prefabricated and requires consideration of voltage drop in its design.
Safety Conductor System
The safety conductor system includes components like collector forks, clamping brackets, and mains switches. It is designed for track lengths up to 30 meters and requires power supply from the center of the conductor for longer tracks.
Drive Group (FEM Group) Selection
This section emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate drive group based on load capacity, hook path, and lifting speed. It provides a table indicating the theoretical service life for different FEM groups and explains how to calculate the mean working time per day.
Conclusion
The document concludes with contact information for ABUS Kransysteme GmbH and a note on where to find further product information.

ABUS Electric chain hoists | Drive group (FEM group] selection DRIVE GROUP (FEM GROUP) SELECTION AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT Apart from the type of hoist required, the load capacity, the hook path and the lifting speed, the drive or FEM group is one of the main criteria to consider when selecting a hoist. The drive group must be selected to ensure that the hoist is fit for use for its intended purpose. Standard hoists are normally designed for a mean theoretical service life of 10 years, subject to operation in accordance with FEM 9.511. If the drive group selected is not appropriate in view of actual...
