New series
Electric wire rope hoist: New design and optimized components
With the recently launched Nova2 rope electric wire rope hoist, SWF Krantechnik is presenting the next generation of electric wire rope hoists.
This new series sets the course for a comprehensive redesign of the classic wire rope hoist, which is based on innovative materials, advanced design and function-optimized components. Other important topics that have been incorporated into product development include user-friendliness, sustainability, digitalization, monitoring, control, service and maintenance. The entire structure of the wire rope hoist has been redesigned. As an alternative to conventional steel load ropes, Nova2 rope can be equipped with a high-strength synthetic load rope consisting of a fiber structure based on polyethylene. This is 90 percent lighter than the steel rope version and requires no lubrication. In addition, the synthetic load rope eliminates the risk of injury and causes no wear on the rope drum, rope guide and deflection pulleys.
Thanks to the identical groove and drum geometry, the user has the option of switching to a classic steel cable at any time. The new rope guide completely encloses the rope drum and contributes to the safety, efficiency and durability of the system. It is highly resilient, robust, spark-resistant and UV-protected. In addition, users can make their crane solution fit for the digital future with the digitally networked Omni control hoist monitoring system, the Vario control frequency inverter and intelligent electronic monitoring and control functions.
