Introduction
RCS Climbing Device and Hydraulics
Assembly Instructions
General
The climbing mechanism for the
Self-Climbing System RCS consists of:
– Climbing Device RCS 50
– Hydraulic Pump RCS 4 x 190 bar,
380 – 460 V
– Climbing Shoe RCS
– Climbing Rail RCS, if required with
Climbing Rail Extension RCS 125
Function
The Climbing Device RCS 50 is posi-
tioned on the Climbing Shoe RCS.
The Climbing Shoe RCS is anchored
to the building by means of a Wall or
Slab Shoe. The Climbing Device works
together with the climbing pawl in the
Climbing Shoe. The claw on the piston
engages the climbing bolts (spacers in
the Climbing Rail RCS) and pushes both
of them, together with the supporting
structure, upwards. At the end of the
stroke, the pawl in the Climbing Shoe
engages in another climbing bolt. Once
the cylinder is retracted, the pawl carries
the load and the claw circumvents the
next climbing bolt. After this, the claw
engages this climbing bolt.
Applications
With the help of the Climbing Hydraulics
RCS, climbing units can be moved
vertically without using a crane.
Standard supporting structure:
– Guided Climbing Formwork RCS C
– Light Climbing Formwork RCS CL
– Climbing Protection Panel RCS P
– Material Lifter RCS ML and Guided
Material Platform RCS MP (used in the
same way as the RCS P).
For special applications, the design
engineer must check whether additional
or alternative measures are required for
the climbing procedure. These measures
are to be shown and described in the
general arrangement drawings and
assembly plans.
The structures shown in these Assembly
Instructions are examples and feature
only one component size. They are valid
accordingly for all component sizes
contained in the standard configuration.
