Lifting chain

Features

The key feature of the Link Lifting Chain is that its flexible steering mechanism has been replaced by a rigid thrust lift that supports the chain body. Due to this characteristic, it’s also referred to as a "rigid chain." This compact lifting system requires only the working space equivalent to the desired lifting height, eliminating the need for excessive vertical clearance or additional storage space. As a result, it effectively avoids the array of challenges associated with installing deeper pits.

The Link Lifting Chain (XCL) is divided into the following types:

1) Standard lifting chain

2) Self-guided lifting chain

Model Description

Number of layers in the storage chain box and chain routing

Single-layer enclosure (S) Double-layer box (D) Three-layer box body (T) Multi-layer box unit (M)
Boxes taller than three layers must be custom-made.
Note:
1. Increasing the number of box layers can shorten the equipment’s length but will increase its height.
2. As the number of box layers increases, the number of times the chain turns within the storage chain box also rises, which in turn affects the chain's rated speed and noise levels.

Storage chain box direction

The box orientation at 0° is M1. The box orientation at 90° is M2. The box orientation at 180° is M3.
Note:
The orientation of the housing is named according to the turning direction of the chain as it moves from the storage box into the transmission box.

Input shaft direction and type

Left output shaft (L) Right output shaft (R) Dual output shafts (L+R) Flat key (F) and spline (S)

Accessory equipment for Link Chain

1) A rotary cam limit switch can be installed on the output shaft of the rack-and-Link Chain: 2) An encoder can be mounted on the output shaft of the Link Chain;

Itinerary Planning Guide

The model description does not specify the length (s) of the safety chain links, as this is determined by our company. Note that the length of the safety chain exceeds the vertical distance from the top of the transmission housing to the center of the sprocket shaft (f).

The setting of the initial height (c) falls into the following three scenarios.

① For single- or double-layer storage chain boxes:

The initial height of the chain (c) should be greater than 0 mm; a minimum of 50 mm is recommended. If it’s too small, setting mechanical limits may not be advisable.

② Three-layer storage chain box, when there is no transitional structural component between the base and the rigid frame:

The initial height of the chain (c) must be greater than the height difference between the chain storage box and the drive box (d).

③ When there is a transition structural component between the platform body and the rigid structure in the three-layer storage chain box:

The initial chain height (c) plus the height of the transition component (e) must exceed the height difference between the chain storage box and the drive box (d).
