If you enter “heavy duty” into a search machine, you will find lots of explanations of the term. But an exact definition is difficult to find. Of course, this is primarily because it is an English term. Explanations can be found in the descriptions of equipment and machines. “Heavy duty” means “able to withstand unusual […]
The data transfer dilemma In the course of general system and vehicle automation in intralogistics, there is an area where companies are converting their narrow-aisle trucks into true autonomous transport vehicles. Something that was pure science fiction just a few years ago, can be implemented relatively easily today with the help of modern information technology […]
The advantages of roller chains over conventional cable garland/cable trolley systems are obvious. Let’s take a closer look at the design features of both solutions – in use in harbour crane systems.
Energy chain systems offer a space-saving alternative for cable guidance on the slewing gear. By means of a round guide trough, the chain is guided, mounted on its side. In this way, rotation angles of up to 540° and rotation speeds of up to 360°/s can be achieved.
Mechanical engineers have to adapt their machines time and time again to a new situation. When is the right time for an adjustment and how to proceed most effectively? Fully harnessed energy chains provide a remedy here.
