How to Install Air Hoists and the Common Faults of Air Hoists

2023-03-22 14:52:49

Pneumatic hoists are used in a wide range of fields. Air hoists are very popular in the automobile beauty industry, the motorcycle manufacturing industry, the petroleum industry, and other industries. Because of the advantages of air hoists in safety, explosion-proof, energy savings, and environmental protection, more and more industries are willing to use pneumatic hoists instead of electric hoists. In many automation systems, the pneumatic hoist is often used for replacement.

How do you install the pneumatic hoist?

Firstly, when we install the air hoist, we must also install the oil-level display device at the same time. Generally, the oil level display device should be installed at the air inlet of the air hoist. If the oil level display device is not installed in time when the electric hoist is installed, the service life of such an air hoist will be shortened after use.

Secondly, we must remember to install a gas protection net on the air supply part of the air hoist. After such a gas protection net is installed, it will have a better explosion-proof effect. For the installation of the above, the oil output must be controlled within the range of 5 drops per minute. If the oil output is higher than this, dripping oil will appear when the air hoist is used.

Finally, before installing the air supply pipe on the air hoist, you must remember the installation steps for gas flushing so that the garbage inside can be washed clean, and a better use effect is achieved.

What are the common faults of air hoists?

During the use of the air hoist, due to normal wear and tear, improper work by workers, or the influence of other human factors, the tool may fail. Rotation: The failure of the reciprocating air hoist generally manifests as immobility, insufficient reciprocating distance, or powerlessness. Vulnerable parts of air hoists are the O-ring, piston, cylinder block, intake switch, spring, etc.

The failure of rotary tools generally manifests itself as the tool not rotating or rotating weakly. The parts that are prone to failure are:

  • Rotary part: This part is common to all rotary tools. Because it relies on compressed air to push the blades to drive the rotor to rotate, normal wear and tear during use and damage to blades, bearings, and other accessories can easily lead to powerlessness or non-rotation of the tool. General wear parts are rotors, blades, chassis, bearings, O-rings, cylinder blocks, etc.
  • Transmission part: This part is part of some rotary tools. Rely on compressed air to push the blades, drive the rotor to rotate, and use gears or transmission shafts to drive and work. Due to the wear of bearings, gears, and other accessories, the tool will be weak or unable to rotate. The general wear parts are gears and supporting bearings.
  • Strike part: This part is the common part of the wind wrench and the wind batch. A pneumatic wrench and air batch both rely on compressed air to push the blades to drive the rotor to rotate, and the rotor drives the striking part to work. Due to the wear and tear of the striking shaft, striking block, and other stressed parts, the tool may not turn or rotate weakly. The general wearing parts are the striking shaft, striking block (hammer), striking frame (chamber), and striking pin.
  • Air intake part: This part is common to all air hoists. Due to normal wear and tear or other reasons, parts such as the air intake are broken and worn. General wearing parts are the air intake interface, spring, rod, O-ring, and gasket.
  • Switch part: This part is common to all air hoists. The general wearing parts are a trigger, pin, steel ball (air valve), etc.
  • Air regulating part: This is the part that most pneumatic hoists have. Due to the wear and tear of the positioning steel ball, the breakage of the air exchange valve, etc., the gear position is not fixed when the tool is working, and the forward and reverse control of the reversing valve are slightly in series. The general wear parts are the steel ball, locking screw, ventilation (direction) valve, gear switch, etc.
