Different types of European electric hoists

The structural characteristics and differences between different types of European electric hoists
European electric hoist is a type of electric lifting machinery that adopts European technology and standards. It has the characteristics of compact structure, light weight, safety and reliability, excellent performance, and convenient maintenance.
European electric hoists can be divided into two types: ring chain type and steel wire rope type. According to different types, their lifting parameters, working level, and usage environment also vary.
The ring chain European electric hoist is a type of electric hoist that uses high-strength chains as the lifting medium. Its lifting parameters are generally 0.25-20 tons, and the working level is M4-M6. It is suitable for light and medium-sized industrial production or logistics transportation.
The ring chain European electric hoist has the advantages of small size, low noise, smooth operation, and flexible operation.
Steel wire rope European electric hoist is a type of electric hoist that uses high-strength steel wire rope as the lifting medium. Its lifting parameters are generally 1-50 tons, and its working level is M5-M8. It is suitable for medium to heavy industrial production or large-scale logistics transportation. The steel wire rope type European electric hoist has the advantages of large load, fast speed, high clearance, and long service life
The structure of European electric hoists mainly consists of motors, transmission mechanisms, drums or sprockets, which can be divided into four types based on the relative positions of the motors, drums or sprockets:
(1) The electric hoist with the axis of the motor perpendicular to the axis of the drum or sprocket adopts a worm gear transmission device, which has a bulky structure and low efficiency, and is rarely used.
(2) The electric hoist with the axis of the motor parallel to the axis of the drum or sprocket adopts a helical gear transmission device, which has a compact structure, a large width, and a large turning radius.
(3) The electric hoist with the motor installed inside the drum or sprocket adopts a planetary gear transmission device, which has a simple structure and small length, but poor heat dissipation conditions and inconvenient maintenance.
(4) The electric hoist with the motor installed outside the drum or sprocket adopts a cylindrical gear transmission device, which has a reasonable structure, high universality, and convenient maintenance.
The main differences between different types of European electric hoists are as follows:
Lifting medium: The ring chain European electric hoist uses high-strength chains as the lifting medium; The steel wire rope European electric hoist uses high-strength steel wire rope as the lifting medium.
Lifting parameters: The lifting parameters of the European electric chain hoist are generally 0.25-20 tons; The lifting parameters of the steel wire rope European electric hoist are generally 1-50 tons.
Working level: The working level of the European electric chain hoist is generally M4-M6; The working level of the steel wire rope European electric hoist is generally M5-M8.
Applicable occasions: The ring chain European electric hoist is suitable for light and medium-sized industrial production or logistics transportation and other occasions; The steel wire rope European electric hoist is suitable for medium to heavy industrial production or large-scale logistics transportation.
Performance characteristics: The ring chain European electric hoist has the advantages of small size, low noise, smooth operation, and flexible operation; The steel wire rope type European electric hoist has the advantages of large load, fast speed, high clearance, and long service life.
