G-FORCE
®
MAIN ASSEMBLY COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Prior to installing the G-Force® it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the main components.
Standard Assembly:
The G-Force® consists of three (3) main assemblies and they are as
follows:
1)
Actuator (
diagram 1
):
The actuator assembly contains
the lifting power transmission of the G-Force®. The drive
assembly of the actuator consists of the servomotor with
failsafe brake, gearbox, main drum pulley, and controls.
The actuator assembly also contains the upper and lower
limit
switches.
See the Lift Functionality section (page
21) and Controls Interface Features section (page
24) for additional details.
2)
Coil Cord Assembly (
diagram 2
):
The coil cord assembly
carries signals from the handle to the actuator assembly
which will include lift speed, lift direction and emergency
stop. Do not restrain coil cord to any foreign objects. Do not hang or
strain relief additional cable or festooning from the Gorbel® coil cord.
3) Handle (
diagram 3
):
The handle is the main interface between the
operator and the lifting device.
See the Lift Functionality section
(page 21) and Controls Interface Features section (page 24) for
additional functionality located at the handle.
The Gorbel® slide
handle can accommodate either a Gorbel® load hook or tooling
(supplied by others). Tooling must meet the guidelines set forth by
Gorbel, Inc (
see Tooling Integration Guidelines on page 3
). Improper
tooling integration will result in degraded performance and premature
failure of the G-Force®.
WARNING
The quick disconnects on the coil cord are keyed. The connector must
be aligned correctly before it threads into place.
WARNING
Do not field modify the G-Force® in any way. Any modification, without the written consent of Gorbel, Inc.,
will void warranty.
WARNING
The unique serial number for this unit can be found on the front cover of this manual, the bottom of the
actuator assembly and the handle. Always have this serial number available during all
correspondence regarding your G-Force®, or when ordering repair parts.
