RACO ACTUATION SOLUTIONS FOR CRANE SYSTEMS

Product catalog summary
Introduction
RACO is a manufacturer of electrical actuators, providing automation solutions for crane systems. With over 55 years of experience, RACO offers a modular component system that allows for customization and ensures high quality, reliability, and safety.

Applications
RACO electrical cylinders are used in various crane types, including those for container handling (STS, RTG, RMG, ACS) and general cargo handling (process cranes, shipyard cranes, grab cranes). Typical applications include spreader adjustment, rope system alignment, flipper arm actuation, and more.

Design and Configuration
The design of RACO's actuation systems focuses on availability under adverse conditions and precise control. The heavy-duty series is designed for extreme loads and continuous operation, with configurations for on-shore and off-shore applications that include corrosion protection and operational safety measures.

Controlled Actuation
RACO electrical cylinders offer controlled movement with optional brake and frequency converter technologies for smooth operation. They can be integrated into existing systems and controlled locally or through a BUS interface.

Advantages Over Hydraulic Systems
RACO electrical cylinders offer several advantages over hydraulic systems, including easier handling, minimal maintenance, and lower costs. They do not require complex installations or frequent checks for leakages, making them more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Consultation and Customization
RACO provides competent consultations and CAD data to assist in the design process. The modular system allows for customer-specific designs, and the closed design of the cylinders protects against environmental impacts.

Conclusion
RACO electrical cylinders are efficient, environmentally friendly, and offer high operating safety. They are a reliable choice for crane systems, providing manageable and calculable costs with minimal maintenance requirements.

RACO ACTUATION SOLUTIONS FOR CRANE SYSTEMS-5

RACO Schwelm Positive impact for the life cycle cost accounts! RACO electrical cylinders offer manageable and calculable costs: In the past, mainly hydraulic systems were used. Hydraulic units were viewed as especially powerful and robust, however, they require complex care and maintenance of the components such as cylinders, compressed oil supplies and pipe systems. The frequent check for leakages and the exchange of the many wear parts including their bleeding needed for hydraulic systems are not required. The easy handling of the electrical cylinders during commissioning and a minimal maintenance...
