What is the electric hoist and need to pay attention to safety issues?

2024-02-20

Electric hoist is a mechanical equipment that uses an electric motor to drive a gear and then drive a steel wire or chain to run for lifting and handling items. It usually needs to be fixed to the suspension frame for transport load.


The main components of the electric hoist include motor, reducer, wire rope, safety limit device, controller and so on. Among them, the motor is the most important part of the electric hoist, which provides the necessary power to run the hoist. The reducer, together with the gears, forms the power transmission system, which is used to reduce the output speed of the motor to increase torque. The wire rope is the lifting part of the electric hoist, and the safety limit device is a kind of equipment to ensure the safety of operation, and can stop the movement of the hoist in time. The controller is responsible for controlling the operation and stop of the hoist, as well as controlling the speed of the hoist.


Electric hoist is a simple, efficient, low technical content of mechanical equipment, they are widely used in manufacturing, construction industry and logistics industry and other fields. Compared with the manual hoist, the advantages of the electric hoist are easy to use, high efficiency, and can reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve work efficiency. Due to its reliability, safety and efficiency, electric hoists have become a standardized loading device in the industry.


The use of electric hoist requires attention to safety issues. First, ensure that the electric hoist used has safety protection devices, and operate in strict accordance with the load regulations of the electric hoist. The operator should receive relevant training and be familiar with the use and operation of the electric hoist. At the same time, regular maintenance of the electric hoist, including replacing loose screws, lubricating gears, checking safety limit devices, regular cleaning, etc.


To sum up, a certain understanding of the electric hoist and its scientific use and maintenance will be beneficial to improve work efficiency and safety.
