An Introduction to Pneumatic Hoists
A pneumatic hoist is a lightweight and compact lifting device powered by compressed air. It converts the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy through a pneumatic motor to achieve the lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects. Due to its unique safety and environmental adaptability, it plays an irreplaceable role in special industrial environments such as flammable, explosive, humid, and dusty areas.
··I. Basic Definition and Working Principle
Definition
A pneumatic hoist is a lifting equipment that uses compressed air to drive a pneumatic motor, transmits power through a reduction mechanism, and lifts heavy objects via chains or steel wire ropes. Its load-bearing capacity typically ranges from 250 kilograms to 30 tons, and special models can reach up to 100 tons.
Working Principle
-
Compressed air enters the pneumatic motor through a manual control valve, driving the internal vanes/gears to rotate at high speed.
-
The planetary gear reducer converts high speed and low torque into low speed and high torque.
-
Power is transmitted to the sprocket/drum, driving the chain/steel wire rope to lift or lower the heavy object.
-
The air failure protection device automatically locks when air supply is suddenly cut off to prevent the heavy object from falling.
-
It can be used with a pneumatic or manual trolley to realize horizontal movement.
