Component Specifications

Definition
A structural component of overhead lifting mechanisms consisting of articulated arms or platforms that provide vertical movement through hydraulic cylinders, screw jacks, or chain drives. Designed to lift, position, and transfer loads with precision control and safety features for industrial material handling operations.
Working Principle
Utilizes hydraulic pressure, mechanical screw threads, or chain/sprocket systems to convert rotational or linear input into controlled vertical motion. Hydraulic systems use pressurized fluid in cylinders to extend/retract arms, while mechanical systems employ threaded rods or chains to achieve lifting through gear reduction and motor drives.
Materials
High-strength steel (ASTM A36/A572), aluminum alloys (6061-T6 for lightweight applications), hardened pivot pins (4140 steel), polyurethane or nylon wear pads, hydraulic seals (NBR/FKM)
Technical Parameters
  • Lift Speed 0.1-0.5 m/s
  • Lift Height 1-6 meters
  • Control Type Manual/Pendant/PLC
  • Power Source Hydraulic/Electric
  • Load Capacity 500-5000 kg
  • Safety Factor 5:1 minimum
Standards
ISO 12100, ISO 13849, DIN 15018, ASME B30.2
