 Information

UROCHAIN VL, a range of high-tech lifting unites, with compact and in-line designed, can suit any specific requirement: capacities from 60 to 7500 kg, 1 or 2 speed hoisting, manual or electric trolley with adjustable speed, height of lift, FEM group 1Bm or 2m.
EUROCHAIN VL is designed to provide users with maximum safety, and is fitted as standard with a torque limiter, a low voltage control, encode, a hoisting disc brake and as option an upper and lower limit switch. The unit fully complies European Machinery Directive 98/37/CEE.

EUROCHAIN VL is available as:
 Hook Suspended.
 Hooked or fitted onto a push or chain driven trolley.
 Fitted into Eurosystem trolley.
 Hooked or fitted into a motor-driven trolley.

In addition many optional features are available.

Features

Safety
Friction torque limiter. It guarantees use of the hoist without overload.
Lifting hook. Rotating hook made with special steel, conforming to DIN Standards, with a safety latch.
Limit switch. Electric limit switch for upper and lower limits, providing save operation of the hoist(provided as a standard feature on VL16, 20, and 25).
Push button box. Very low voltage command, 48 Volts, emergency stop (large button).

Savings
Disk brake. Electro-magnetic, brake linings tested for longevity of the hoist within its use group.
Load limiter. As a standard, all EUROCHAIN VLs are equipped with a torque limiter (Safety feature to prevent hoist) for greater longevity.
Treated surface. Two-component epoxy pain with 80 microns for better protection against corrosive agents.

Ergonomics
Push button box. Water-proof, IP 65 protection, with 2, 4 or 6 buttons.
Electrical cubicle. Located on the side of the hoist, easy to access.

High technology
Chain guide. Ensures perfect positioning of the chain around load wheel.
Electrical cubicle. Very spacious and equipped as a standard with an electric plate that can be fitted with an optional an hour time counter, etc…
Hoisting motor. Optional mono-phase version available.
Load wheel. With 5 or 6 pockets for better distribution of the load.
BGV C1 (VGB 70). Optional BGV C1 version available.

Easy maintenance
Hoisting motor. 1 or 2 speeds, speed ratio: HS/LS 1/4 power of the motors with 0.2/0.5 to 3.5/0/9 KW, F insulation class, IP 55 protection. The motor is cooled by means of thermal exchange.
Lifting chain. Zinc coated and calibrated, with high tensile strength, treated (800 N/mm2). Special chains available as option: reduced lubrication chain, stainless chain,…)

Types

Hook suspended
These hoists are not equipped with a trolley and are used in applications where horizontal displacement is not required.
Hooked or fitted into a motor-driven trolley.
These hoists for load up to 7 500Kg are equipped with a trolley and are used in applications where horizontal movement is required.
Fitted into a motor-driven short headroom trolley
These hoists for load up to 7 500Kg are fitted equipped a trolley and are used in applications where horizontal movement is required.
Fitted into Eurosystem trolley
These hoists are fitted with a manually-operated or electric trolley and are used for horizontal movements along tracks such as the Eurosystem type.
Hooked or fitted into a push or chain driven trolley
The hoists for load up to 5 000 Kg are fitted equipped a trolley and are used in applications where horizontal movement is required with a maximum high of lift.
Fitted into a motor-driven boogie trolley
These hoists for load up to 5 000 Kg are fitted equipped a trolley and are used in applications where horizontal movement is required on curved track.

Components

Gear box                      
Improved hoist compactness. Low noise level while in use thanks to pinions lubricated with plenty of grease and treated straight teeth.
Electric control panel
Quite large, built into the piece of equipment, it contains all of the component(plate, connectors, transformer, etc.)and is easy to access for maintenance purposes, IP55 protection.  
Hoist body                   
Made with mould injected aluminium, making the hoist lighter, the fins on the motor section provide good thermal exchange. The chassis is painted with one Coat of 2-component epoxy paint with 80 microns that is highly resistant to corrosive agents.
Disk brake                 
Electro-magnetic type with linings material for hoist FEM groups lifetime, designed for easy to access and simple adjustment.
Chain bag                   
Mould, steel or made out fabric, adapted to lifting height(several capacities).
Load wheel                  
5 or 6 pockets(depending on model), treated and rectified, machined in a single operation
