Wheels

The type of protection of all wheels is constructional safety ›c‹. If travel speeds are high, this also includes brass wheels.
Rope guide/chain guide

The wear-resistant rope guide in nodular graphite casting GJS (previously designated GGG) is extremely durable and not subject to temperature limitations. The same applies to the chain guide, type of protection used: constructional safety ›c‹.
Gear

The types of protection of the gear are constructional safety ›c‹ and liquid immersion ›k‹. The protective liquid (oil) prevents sparks.
Equipotential bonding

Equipotential bonding is essential for avoiding incendive sparks when installing crane technology in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Overload cut-off

The overload cut-off operates with a dual channel load sensor supplying analog signals. Various sensors are used depending on reeving (LCD, LSD).
Panel box

The type of protection for panel boxes for Zone 1, 2 and 21 on cranes and hoists combines types of protection flameproof enclosure ›d‹, increased safety ›e‹ and protection by housing ›tD‹.
Cable entry

Indirect cable entry, very high safety level from type of protection increased safety ›e‹ and flameproof enclosure ›d‹. Connection of the Ex e connection box to Ex d by post-type bushing.
Motors

Motors for Zone 1 and 21 are made of grey cast iron, the type of protection combines flameproof enclosure ›d‹, increased safety ›e‹ and protection by housing ›tD‹. For Zone 2 the motors are made of aluminium and in type of protection non-sparking equipment ›nA‹. For Zone 22 the motors are manufactured in IP 66 and protection by housing ›tD‹.
Control pendants

The SWH 5 Ex control pendants are designed specifically to control hoists and cranes in potentially explosive environments. The two-stage SWH Ex control pendant with IP 66 protection is used for explosion-proof wire rope hoists for Zone 1.
Gear limit switch

The protection class of the gear limit switch is IP 66. The elements installed are protected by flameproof enclosure ›d‹, the housing by increased safety ›e‹.
Bottom hook block

The type of protection employed is constructional safety ›c‹, no aluminium is used. If travel speeds are high, individual parts, such as the load hook, are bronze-coated.
