1. What is Lifting Sling

The lifting sling refers to the device for lifting heavy objects in lifting machinery. The most commonly used slings for lifting finished items are hooks and slings, as well as rings, lifting suction cups, clamps, and forks. It is widely used in the hoisting industry.

Lifting Sling Introduction

Special rigging such as hooks, wire ropes, and chains are commonly used in slings. Lifting suction cups, clamps and forks can be used on cranes as special spreaders for a long time, and can also be used as replaceable auxiliary spreaders to hang on hooks for temporary use. They are often used in warehouses and yards of multiple cargoes to improve Operational efficiency.

The spreader for grabbing bulk materials is generally a grab bucket with open and closed jaws, and electromagnetic chucks can also be used to suck magnetic materials such as metal chips. Spreaders for lifting liquid materials are commonly used in buckets and hanging tanks.

Generally, molten steel or chemical solutions are discharged by tilting or bottom plugging, and liquid materials such as concrete are discharged by opening the bottom door of the hanging tank.

In order to meet the daily maintenance and lifting of large machinery, some domestic sling companies have also designed some special slings, such as fan slings, tower slings, blade slings, hub slings, steam turbines, and other non-standard slings.

Lifting the suction cup or hoisting the suctorial cup

A sling that uses magnetic force or air pressure difference to absorb heavy objects. There are two types: electromagnetic chuck and vacuum chuck.

①Electromagnetic chuck

It is composed of a disc-shaped steel shell and an excitation coil in the shell to absorb magnetically conductive materials. It is also called a lifting electromagnet.

It is usually hung on a crane hook for use, and its cable rises and falls together with the hook. According to the working principle, it can be divided into the electromagnetic type and permanent magnet type.

The electromagnetic type relies on the coil to pass the direct current to excite the material to attract, and the power is off to demagnetize and discharge the material.

In order to prevent the material from falling when the power is cut off, the crane with this kind of suction cup generally needs a backup power supply.

The permanent magnet type relies on permanent magnets (such as AlNiCo or strontium ferrite alloy magnetic steel suction heads) to absorb materials, demagnetize and discharge materials when the power is turned off, there is no danger of falling materials when the power is off, but it is easy to adsorb iron filings and oxidation when the demagnetization is not clean Skin, affect the suction. The round electromagnetic chuck is most used.

Rectangular electromagnetic chucks are often used when picking up plates and strips. The bottom surface of the suction cup is mostly flat; there are also concave arcs for sucking barrels and coils.

When lifting long items, you can use several suction cups to work at the same time. The temperature of the material sucked by the electromagnetic chuck generally does not exceed 600 ℃.

②Vacuum sucker

It consists of a vacuum device and soft plastic or bowl-shaped rubber suction cup head, etc.

It is divided into two types, power, and no power.

The power vacuum suction cup uses a vacuum pump to obtain a vacuum, which has a large suction force, but is noisy, and needs to be attached with a cable or a ventilation hose.

Unpowered vacuum suction cups are also called self-priming vacuum suction cups. When the suction cup is lifted, the hook drives the piston rod to obtain a vacuum.

It does not require a power source. It has the advantages of simple structure and no noise, but it can only suck materials under 500 kg. Vacuum suction cups are often used to pick up items with a flat surface.

The sucked materials are not restricted by magnetic permeability. Steel plates, glass, plastics, cement products, and wood can be sucked and transported, and materials can be taken one by one from a stack of plates. The work efficiency is high.

3. What is Lifting Point?

In the hoisting operation, the connecting part between the hanging object and the hanging object is called the lifting point.

When lifting various objects, in order to avoid tilting, overturning, deformation, and damage of the objects, the lifting points should be correctly selected according to the shape characteristics of the objects and the position of the center of gravity, so that the objects have sufficient stability during the lifting process to avoid occurrence accident.

The high-quality lifting points have complete quality control measures, passing spectral analysis, magnetic particle inspection, eddy current testing, evidence load testing, dynamic fatigue resistance testing, and ultimate breaking load testing.

The lifting point levels are now divided into 100, 80, 70, etc., and the lifting points of 80 and above adopt or refer to EU standards. The higher the level, the greater the strength and the stricter the quality requirements. Domestic companies have been developing 100-level lifting points.

Lifting point Application selection

1. The lifting point with a higher strength coefficient is preferred;

2. The hoisting point should be selected on the upper part of the center of gravity of the hoisting object, which has reliable stability;

3. In order to prevent overturning, swinging, and tilting during lifting and transportation, the lifting point and the center of gravity of the suspended object should be on the same vertical line

4. The hoisting object structure selected by the hoisting point can bear all loads.

5. When multiple cranes are used for lifting, the lifting point should be a position with a smaller crane amplitude.

6. The lifting points of slender objects should be selected for multi-point lifting by calculating the strength.

7. When the installation accuracy of mechanical equipment is high, in order to ensure safe and smooth assembly, the auxiliary lifting point can be used with a simple spreader to adjust the required position of the machine. The chain hoist is usually used to adjust the position of the body.

8. When the object is hoisted, it is generally used to turn over. Choose the hanging point below the object’s center of gravity, or choose the hanging point on the side of the object’s center of gravity.

As a rigging connector, it can be used alone according to the hoisting needs, and the ring can also be used with various rigging. Its product specifications and varieties are complete.

4. What is a lifting clamp?

A lifting clamp is a tool for clamping, fastening, or hoisting

The composition of the lifting clamp

A tool used for clamping, fastening, or hoisting. Clamps are divided into clamps and tailstock clamps according to the different objects to be clamped.

The lifting clamp is mainly composed of seven parts: hanging beam, connecting plate, opening, and closing mechanism, synchronizer, clamp arm, support plate, and clamp teeth.

Hanging beam

The lifting clamp is a component connected to the crane hook and has three structures: ring shackle connection, sling connection, and lug connection.

The lifting link shackle-type connecting the lifting shaft improves the force of the spreader and also avoids the decoupling phenomenon when loading and unloading the billet, reduces the height of the clamp itself, and is beneficial to use in low places. The sling is connected to the hanging shaft to make the clamp better.

However, the height of the sling is large and it needs to be used in a tall place. When hanging the hook, manual auxiliary hooking is required. The lug-type connecting crane shaft can be directly hooked by the crane operator, but during the lifting operation, the spreader must be placed on the ground and the hook should be lowered until it is not stressed. This will easily cause the hook to unhook.

Link

The connecting rod is the connecting piece of the hanging beam and the clamp arm.

Opening and closing mechanism

The opening and closing mechanism have a manual lifting lever type, (automatic) double hook type, (automatic) single hook type, (automatic) rotating lock type, etc.

The automatic opening and closing mechanism is a mechanism that realizes the automatic opening and closing of the billet fixture.

The action does not require any external power source, and the automatic opening and closing of the clamp is realized by the gravity of the clamp itself.

Lubrication of opening and closing mechanism: Lubricating oil (or engine oil) must be added regularly (2~3 days), and then move up and down several times until the lubrication is complete. Do not add excessive grease to lubricate!

Synchronizer

The synchronizer is a device to ensure the synchronous action of the clamp arms of the clamp.

Clamp arm

The clamp arm is the main force-increasing component of the clamp, through which the billet is clamped.

Support plate

The support plate is the support of the billet fixture. The supporting plate is supported on the upper surface of the billet to ensure the smooth operation of the opening and closing mechanism of the billet clamp.

Jaw

The jaws have pin shaft connection type, dovetail connection type, and slot plug type structure. The jaws are the main parts that are in direct contact with the billet, which determines the reliability of the billet clamps.

Applications of lifting clamp

Clamps are widely used in metallurgy, transportation, railway, port, and other industries.
