Mounting
Note
Under ideal installation conditions it is possible to achieve a maximum rope tension length of 75 m.
Depending on the actual situation, there may be increased friction in the system. This friction may be so high
that automatic resetting is no longer possible as described above. However, tripping in the event of a rope tear
must be guaranteed in all cases.
The amount of friction depends on:
-
Number of eyebolts used
- Number of contact angles and deflections
- Number and size of guide rollers
- Alignment of rollers and eyebolts with respect to each other.
The friction can be reduced by using guide rollers with a larger diameter. The system should be divided up if
there is too much friction. The user is responsible for component selection and correct functioning of the
system.
