LIMITER Overload limiter for lifting units such as wire rope or electric chain hoists

Overload limiter for lifting units such as wire rope or electric chain hoists. Overload limiter prevent accidents occurring due to the raised load dangerously exceeding the normal value as established by the manufacturer or by the user of the lifting device. It makes a vital contribution to the safety of operatives. The European “machines” directive (2006/42/EC) imposes the use of an overload limit switch for hoists with a capacity equal to or greater than 1000 kg. Limiters for chain hoists How it works A steel shell transmits the lifting force. The resulting deformation, proportional to...

^ Determining which device is required You may, with the help of the various tables in this brochure, determine for yourself the characteristics of the device that you need and establish its dimensions, in particular the J, K or N measurements, depending on the type. Nevertheless, our technical advisers are at your disposal to answer all your technical queries about this product; you simply need to determine and be able to communicate certain specifications of your lifting apparatus. > For electric wire rope hoists : • The nominal load of the hoist. • Its reeving (2, 4, 6 or 2 x 2-strand)....

LIMITER type 3 With no modification of the hoist and without cutting the cable. The "type 3” limiter has been designed to prevent our customers from having to make costly modifications to their existing lifting unit. No adapters are necessary. Attaching a loop of the cable strand to the fixed point is the only operation to be carried out, along with the electrical connection. We supply the cable lugs with our device (always state the cable diameter). ^ General specifications of limiters for wire rope hoists Limiter Cable Nominal hoist load (kg) Type Number Nominal load diameter 2 strand 4...
