7.5  End Stop 

 

ATTENTION

 

 

 

 

If the end stop is misaligned, it may result in damage to the chain hoist 
housing 

 

 

The chain hoist can no longer be operated safely.  

► 

If the connection plate at the bottom of the housing is faulty, it must be 
replaced.  

 
Check the screw connections at the end stop and clamping piece or lower block and tighten to the 
correct torque if necessary. For the standard values, see chapter 7.8. 

7.6  Gear Unit 

The gear unit is permanently lubricated. 

Lubricant

Strub HT PU 680 

– Compatible and mixable with all other branded lubricants of an equivalent type 

(DIN 51502: KP 1 S-20) 

Amount of lubricant

: 70 ml 

7.7  Sliding Clutch 

The sliding clutch protects the chain hoist from overloading and serves the function of an emergency 
limit switch for the highest and lowest hook positions. The sliding clutch is based on the DIN EN 
14492-2

 standard and is factory-preset using the following force limit factors: 

 

Maximum lift capacity 

Force limit factor 

80 kg 

2.0 

100 kg 

SCH-S: 1.6 / SCH-M: 1.8 

>120 kg 

1.45 

(based on DIN EN 14492-2) 

 

 

The sliding clutch must be adjusted and checked by authorized specialist personnel only 
and all settings made and checks performed must be recorded in the inspection book.

 

7.8  Suspension Components 

Suspension components are all statically loaded parts. The contact surfaces of the rotating 
suspension parts must be periodically greased. 
Tightening torques for screws in strength grade 8.8 in accordance with DIN ISO 898:
