Determination of the FEM Classification
The service life of the product is significantly dependent on the frequency at which it is operated.
To ensure long service life, operate the winch within its rated percentage duty cycle (%ED).
The rated percentage duty cycle (%ED) is expressed by the duty factor (%ED) obtained at the
rated voltage and the frequency at 63% of the rated load.
( lifting time + lowering time )
Percentage duty cycle (%ED) ------------------------------------------------------------------ X 100 (%)
( Duty Factor ) ( lifting time + idle time + lowering time + idle time )
The maximum startup frequency represents the frequency of startup operations per hours,
including inching operations. The rated speed, which indicates the average speed of winding
up or down at a rated load. A cycle is limited at 10 minutes at most.
