Accessories: Mechanical synchronization made easy

Individual lifting elements can already achieve a lot. It gets more complex when a screw jack is no longer sufficient. With the right accessories, the lifting elements can be driven in combination without the need for complex control.

3 reasons why our accessories are perfect for your project:

  • done
    Flexibility in lifting systems
  • done
    Minimal control effort
  • done
    Minimal assembly effort

Unbeatable Advantages of our Accessories

Low Operating Costs

Connecting shafts, couplings, bevel gearboxes, etc., all enable individual adaptation to the conditions on site. Are you planning a lifting system in a finished building with columns, offsets, steps on the floor? No problem - with the plant accessories, you can redirect torque by 90°, compensate for offset irregularities, or simply use longer or shorter connecting shafts.

Absolute Control and Synchronization

A single encoder is sufficient to control an entire lifting system that is mechanically coupled together. Other expensive control elements also no longer need to be installed more than once. The mechanical coupling through connecting shafts, couplings, and bevel gearboxes enables extremely precise synchronization of all drives with each other.

Assembly simplified

All connecting elements can interlock positively through the nut and the fitting key. The assembly process is designed to be extremely straightforward. Once the fixed elements are aligned, it's simply a matter of inserting the connecting elements via plug-and-play and conducting the test run.

FAQs

Both terms describe the ability of a spindle not to "slip" on its own when at a standstill.

Static self-locking refers to a thread angle between 2.4°-4.5°. In standstill, the spindle does not slip on its own, but it might not come to a stop on its own from motion. Dynamic self-locking occurs when there is an additional braking action from the dynamics. The thread angle is then smaller than 2.4°.

A rotation prevention is always necessary. Due to the sliding friction in the thread, the applied load would simply rotate along with it, and there would be no relative motion (linear motion).

The higher the axial force on the thread, the higher the frictional force, as Fr = FN * µ.

Self-locking refers to the "non-slip" behavior of spindle-nut systems without external force. The degree of self-locking is influenced by the material pairing, the pitch angle, and the lubrication.
