Chain hoist having a slip clutch
View Patent ↗A chain hoist having an electric drive motor connected to a gearbox by a slip clutch, wherein the slip clutch comprises an enlarged outer surface area in the form of recesses disposed in the outer surface of the slip clutch for improving heat dissipation with the recesses being implemented circumferentially in the form of a thread pitch in the outer surface of the slip clutch.
1. Chain hoist having an electric drive motor which is connected to a gearbox by a slip clutch, wherein in order to improve the dissipation of heat the slip clutch has an enlarged outer surface in the form of recesses disposed in the outer surface of the slip clutch, wherein the recesses in the outer surface of the slip clutch are formed circumferentially in the form of a thread pitch.
2. Chain hoist as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slip clutch comprises a sleeve-shaped first clutch element having a first annular clutch surface and a sleeve-shaped second clutch element having a second annular clutch surface, and a friction lining is disposed between the first clutch surface and the second clutch surface.
3. Chain hoist as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first clutch element comprises a sleeve-shaped first attachment part and a sleeve-shaped first clutch disk part adjoining it, the second clutch element comprises a sleeve-shaped second attachment part and a sleeve-shaped second clutch disk part adjoining it, and in order to improve the dissipation of heat the outer surface is disposed in the region of the peripheral surface of the first clutch disk part.
4. Chain hoist as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the slip clutch is disposed in a bore of a housing of the gearbox.
5. Chain hoist as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the outer surface of the slip clutch is cylindrical and wherein a gap is disposed between the cylindrical outer surface of the slip clutch and an inner surface of the bore.
6. Chain hoist as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the housing has a gearbox chamber disposed inside it which is connected to the bore and is filled with a gearbox oil.
