5.9 Hoisting motor and brake
Standard hoists are equipped with two-speed squirrel-cage motors, which are especially designed and
manufactured for hoisting duty. The motors incorporate a cylindrical rotor and class F insulation, and are
conform to the protection standard IP54/DIN40050.
Optionally, the hoist can be equipped with a inverter and specially designed motors for this duty. These
are one-speed squirrel-cage motors with increased insulation of the windings. In addition, these motors
are equipped with a speed sensor as a standard.
The hoisting brake is an electromagnetic safety brake that is closed by spring force.
