EUROCHAIN VX
This document provides detailed instructions for the EUROCHAIN VX electrical chain hoist, covering its range, features, and functional description. It includes guidelines on usage, product identification, and compliance with relevant standards and directives.
The EUROCHAIN VX features key components such as a suspension bracket, hoisting machinery, hook, controller, and chain bucket. The product code system facilitates easy identification of features like frame size, hoisting speed, reeving system, load capacity, duty group, trolley type, beam width, main voltage, electric norm, control voltage, and height of lift.
The chain hoist complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, and is RoHS compliant. It meets ASME standards for duty ratings and is tested for external sound levels.
The technical specifications include load range and duty classes, with classifications based on operating time and load spectrum. Formulas for calculating hoist operating time and load spectrum factors are provided, determining the class of load spectrum from L1 (light) to L4 (very heavy).
The document details the main components of the chain hoist, including the hoisting motor, gear, brakes, slipping clutch, electrics, controller, suspension types, chain drive, hooks, and hook blocks. Features and options such as single or double brakes, manual brake release, and various suspension and hook types are described.
Guidelines for lubrication points and recommended lubricants for the chain hoist are provided to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
The document outlines specifications for Verlinde S.A.S chain hoists, classified under FEM/ISO ratings from 1Bm/M3 to 3m/M6. The product range includes various models with different load capacities, frame sizes, and motor types. Key parameters include power, speed, ambient temperature, and duty cycle.
Standard Features: The chain hoists come with mechanical overload devices, disc brakes, helical gears, and epoxy powder paint. They also include zinc-plated chains and various trolley options.
Electrical Features: Dual-speed motors, thermal protection, low voltage control, and emergency stop mechanisms are standard. The hoists are equipped with IP55 protection and operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +40°C.
Options include secondary brakes, stainless steel components, manual brake release, and various control options such as radio remote control and pendant controllers.
The hoists are constructed from materials like aluminum alloys, forged steel, and high-density polyethylene. Components are coated with epoxy polyester powder or zinc phosphating for durability.
The chain hoist's kinematic chain includes components like the adjustment screw, hoisting gear, and motor. The hoisting motor is a TEFC type, designed for efficiency and cooling.
Hoisting Motor: Available in different power ratings and speeds, suitable for various voltage ranges.

The document outlines the specifications and operational details of the brake systems used in Verlinde S.A.S chain hoists, including single and double brake assemblies, brake coil voltages, and resistance, as well as manual brake release options.
The single brake system is characterized by its frame size, brake torque, and theoretical brake measurement values. The double brake assembly includes a main and secondary brake, where the secondary acts as a backup.
Specifications for brake coil voltages across various motor voltages and frequencies are provided, along with coil resistance for different frame sizes and brake types.
An optional manual brake release lever is available for emergency situations, allowing manual lowering of the load.
The slipping clutch serves as an overload protection device, adhering to EN14492-2 standards, allowing the hoist to lift loads up to 110% (EUR) and 125% (US) of the safe working load (SWL).
The document details the cable gland positions, wiring principles, and controller options for the chain hoist, including diagrams for cable connections and control systems.
Various suspension options are described, including suspension brackets, eyes, hooks, and fixed suspensions.
The chain drive system includes components like the chain guide, sprocket, and return sprocket, with specifications for chain dimensions and safety factors.
The document concludes with technical data on operating conditions, rated capacities, and dimensions for various components.
Detailed specifications for various components of chain hoists are provided, including weld seam dimensions, internal and external widths, label spacing, chain weight, and technical characteristics of different frame sizes.
Dimensions for chain buckets are provided for different frame sizes and chain capacities.
The document details the dimensions and materials of standard, stainless steel, and safety hooks, including single and two-fall hook blocks.
The GLS is available in 2-step and 4-step versions, functioning as adjustable upper and lower stop limits.
Optional features such as double brake, geared limit switch, and stand-by heating are available to extend the hoist length through an extension profile part on the hoist frame.
The EUROCHAIN VX electrical chain hoist is compatible with both C- and M-trolleys.
- Lubrication Points: The chain hoist and trolley have specific lubrication points, including the secondary shaft, trolley wheel bearings, hoisting gear, and chain.
- Lubricants: Different components require specific lubricants, such as MOBILITH SHC 460 for the traveling gear and RENOLIT special chain grease for the chain.
