INTRODUCTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION
The planetary hoist is designed to utilize a geroler, gear, or piston motor, driving through a
multiple-disc oil brake, through a planetary gearset to the cable drum.
The multiple-disc oil brake is spring applied and hydraulically released through a port in the brake
housing. During inhaul, the brake is not released, since the load is driven through a one-way cam
clutch, bypassing the brake. When the load comes to a stop, the cam clutch locks up and the
brake prevents the load from moving.
During payout, a brake valve is used to prevent the load from moving faster than desired. This
brake valve partially blocks the main line from the motor back to the directional control valve,
allowing only a limited amount of hydraulic fluid through the motor. The brake valve is then
modulated by sensing pressure on the other main line, the line from the directional control valve to
the motor. Additionally, any time there is sufficient pressure (330 PSI ±10%) to modulate the
brake valve; this same pressure releases the brake.
