TECH N ICAL GUIDE 17/55 Hoisting brakes The chain hoist is equipped with a disc brake. There is one rotating disc with two lining surfaces. The brake coil is energized by DC voltage coming from brake rectifier. The brake rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. The protection class is IP66.
TECH N ICAL GUIDE 18/55 3.4.1 Double brake The main brake and auxiliary brake are assembled on the same hub. When the hoisting motion is required, the service brake and the auxiliary brake are energized simultaneously from the brake board. When the hoisting motion is stopped, the service brake is switched off immediately while the auxiliary brake stays energized for a few milliseconds by the motor inductive effect.

TECH N ICAL GUIDE 45/55 STAGEMAKER RADIO LOAD CELL SYSTEM Why load monitoring on stage is so important? Tons of equipment above people: Hanging tons of sound and lighting equipment above spectators and performers is a serious matter, especially in light of the trend of ever increasing load weight and movement.
Page 45
> Fatigue rated load cells: All STAGEMAKER load cells are fatigue rated, an important feature especially for fixed and long-term installations. The load cell's ability to withstand successive load cycles for long periods of time without the risk of failure or damage to the steel, affords peace of mind for the user.
Page 46
> Expandability: Easily expandable by simply adding more load cells to an existing system. > Multiple system integration: Different Stagemaker load cell users can combine their load cells into one system when necessary, and one large system can be split into several smaller systems. Both wired and wireless, load cells and various capacities and types (SRLI Hoist Integrated and SRLM with shackles) can be used together.
