STD05 3.1.1 Stationary chain hoist

Install chain hoist and return sheave supports

Clearances as per Product Information "ST chain hoists"

Z version

• Fit chain box.

• Place the ends of the chains (with chain stoppers on the gear side) into the corre-
sponding chambers of the chain box.
• Pull one chain through the opening between the two chambers of the chain box
and lead it over the sheave in the return sheave support. (Do not twist chain!)
• Lead the second chain over the sheave into the second return sheave support.
• Shorten the ends of both chains (load side) to the same length. (The chains must
not sag while doing so!)
Before commissioning, run chains out completely to ensure that they are not
twisted.

so!)
Before commissioning, run chains out completely to ensure that they are not
twisted.
• Fit bottom hook bocks (In the case of single-fall blocks, insert a rubber buffer!) In
the case of two-fall blocks, attach the ends of the chains to the return sheave sup-
ports.

6.1 Checking load chain

• Operate chain hoist under load. If loud clicking hoises can be heard, inspect chain,
chain sprocket and return sheaves for lubrication and wear.
• Check chain dimensions, measure length of chain over 11 links. The chain dimen-
sions must not exceed the values given in the table opposite.

• If abrasion is detected, or if the limit values are no longer maintained, the chain
must be replaced immediately, see "Replacing load chain".

6.2 Replacing load chains

STD 05

• Remove bottom hook blocks.

• Run load chains out of hoist.
• Replace chain drive.
• Insert new chain into pull-in device (Part no. 32 324 00 99 0-4).
• The welds of the links vertical to the chain sprocket must point to the outside (!).
• On the load side, push the pull-in device over the chain sprocket into the chain
guide as far as it will go. Run both chains into the hoist simultaneously with
inching motion, at the same time continuing to push the pull-in device in.
• Let the new chains run into the chain hoist until they project approx. 200 mm on the
side which will later not be under load (chain box side).
• Fit the chain stopper in the tenth link of the chain fall on the gear side.
• On the load side insert the chain into the return sheave supports and fit bottom
hook blocks. Do not twist the chain when attaching it to the chain anchorage! With
two-fall reeving, if the chain fixing bolt should be deformed or slightly worn, it
must be replaced without fail.
• The chains must run straight into the chain box from the chain guide. They must not
be placed in the box by hand.

Each chain fall may only be loaded with the permissible load; i.e. half the total
S.W.L. of the chain hoist!

11.1 Lever-type hoist limit switch The hoist limit switch limits the highest and lowest hook positions. It can be used as
an operational limit switch.

The slipping clutch integrated into the chain hoist takes on the function of
emergency limit switch.

Method of functioning on ST05

The chain hoist is switched off in highest hook position by a limit switch which is acti-
vated by the bottom hook block via pressure springs and a lever. Only lowering
motion is then possible.

Method of functioning on ST10 - ST60

ST10 - ST50
In highest hook position, the microswitch is activated by the contact plate (1) and the
hoisting movement is disconnected.
In the lowest hook position, the microswitch is activated by the contact plate (2) and
the lowering movement is disconnected.

From highest hook position, only lowering is possible, from lowest hook position only
lifting.

Commissioning

• Check function of hoist limit switch (see Maintenance work).

• Check function of emergency limit switch (slipping clutch) (see Maintenance
work).

Maintenance intervals

Every day
• Check function of hoist limit switch (see Maintenance work)
•
•
Every year
• Visual inspection of sealing lips of microswitch
• Check function of emergency limit switch (slipping clutch)
(see Maintenance work)

11.1.1 Maintenance work

Test hoist limit switch

Press the up button on the control pendant. The hoisting motion must be
disconnected in top hook position. The hoist motor stands still.

Press the down button on the control pendant. The lowering motion must be
disconnected in bottom hook position. The hoist motorstands still.

Check slipping clutch as emergency limit switch

The slipping clutch which takes on the function of emergency limit switch can be
tested in top and bottom hook position. To do so, the hoist limit switch must be put out
of action:

1. Bridge hoist limit switch electrically (see circuit diagram).

2. Move up to top and bottom positions until slipping clutch slips. (Can be seen from
the load hook standing still while the motor continues to rotate).
ST05 Let the slipping clutch slip for a maximum of 3 seconds!

11.2 Gear limit switch

ST05 - ST60 Safety notes
The limit switch is constructed according to the state of the art and is safe in opera-
tion. However dangers may arise if it is used incorrectly and not for its intended pur-
pose.

Adjusting limit switch

In order to set the contacts, the cover of the limit switch must be removed. This
exposes live contact connections. There is thus a danger of contact with live parts!

The limit switch can be adjusted at the setscrews (S1) ... (S8) (depending on the
number of switching elements):
Turning to the left: switching point is moved "downwards",
Turning to the right: switching point is moved "upwards".

Adjusting en bloc
All the cam discs can be moved together with the aid of the black setscrew (S0). The
settings of the individual contacts relative to one another remain unchanged.

Testing operational limit switch

• Test at fast and creep speed without load.
1. Activate the "up" button on the control pendant carefully, observing the hoisting
motion, until the limit switch switches off in top hook position (A↑).
2. Minimum clearance "a" between bottom hook block and nearest obstacle, see
table, if necessary reset the limit switch, see page 13.
3. Press the "down" button and check bottom hook position in the same way.

1/1 130 150
2/1 70 80

Testing combined operational and emergency hoist limit switch

The emergency hoist limit switch must be checked once a year. To enable this to be
done, the operational limit switch must be bridged, see circuit diagram of hoist.
• The distance between the switching points for operational and emergency limit
switches is set for normal operating conditions, however it can be adjusted if
necessary.

Note: The function of emergency hoist limit switch is normally assumed by the slip-
ping clutch installed in the hoist.
When testing, do not let the clutch slip for more than 3 seconds. (Can be seen from
the load chain standing still while the motor fan rotates).

"Operational limit switch bottom hook position"
• Set bottom hook position so that the bottom hook block does not touch the ground
(would cause slack chain).

If the gear limit switch is used as emergency limit switch, the corresponding safety
clearances for the braking path must be observed, as otherwise the hoist or the
installation could be damaged.

Emergency and operational limiting

(optional)
A gear limit switch disconnects the chain hoist in highest and lowest hook positions
during normal operation (BhH and BtH).
With 4 contacts, there is also a fast/slow changeover (B) . The switching points (B)
can be selected as required.
If BhH or BtH are activated automatically at creep speed, X1 and X4 are reduced to 5
mm.

In the standard version, the subsequent emergency limit points (NhH and NtH) are
limited by the slipping clutch. These points are only activated if the operational limit
switch has not functioned.

BhH = Top hook position, operational limit switch

BtH = Bottom hook position, operational limit switch
B = Operational stop, can be set as required.
Also used for fast/slow changeover
