Air Drive Assembly
For use with Didsbury Engineering, hoist with small and large drive dogs. The air drive assembly interfaces with the drive dog on the hoist and is only used to lift a load.
-
The air drive is a pneumatic device that aids the operator when lifting loads using one of Didsbury Engineering’s range of hoists. A trigger lever enables the operator to control the speed of rotation
-
A compressed air supply with a compress air with a dew point between +2°C and +10°C and a working pressure of 6.3-7bar. The air supply must be filtered, regulated and lubricated
-
The air drive includes a precise clutch that shuts off the air drive at a specified torque
-
Different hoist series have different gear ratios so the clutch setting is only valid for one hoist series
