The chain hoist’s two-button pendant control box has also been redesigned. Thanks to its ergonomic grip, this device, according to Silberblau, sits comfortably in the operator’s hand and makes single-hand operation of the EKZ PCH “even more convenient”. An integrated emergency stop button and the 1.8m control cable ensures “optimal safety” for the operating personnel.
TEKZ PCH has cooling fins in the motor area of the die-cast aluminum housing. Said Silberblau: “These fins lower the operating temperature considerably, even when operating the device under heavy loads, and thus help ensure that the equipment offers excellent reliability and a long life span.”
It also has an integrated slipping clutch on the rotor shaft. Mounted in front of the brake unit and adjustable via an adjusting screw, the clutch ensures that the load always stays high, even under overload conditions. As part of the standard equipment, a gear limit switch provides additional relief for the slipping clutch.
Pfaff-silberblau said Silverline EKZ PCH is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications. For example, it said, it raises and lowers free loads in the range from 125 to 1,000kg over distances of up to 3m and is employed in workshops and production facilities.
