Inspecting the guide rollers

 

The pictures show the procedure on a GM 1000 modular wire rope hoist. The procedure on GM 800 does not differ significantly from this.

 

Inspecting the diameter

On all four guide rollers:

Wheel

Guide roller

Main girder lower flange

Diameter

*   Measure the diameter of the guide roller.

*   The diameter may not be smaller than is specified in the table.

44 mm

*   If the diameter is less than the diameter specified in the table: Replace the guide roller. See Replacing the guide roller and rubber spring element.

 

 

Inspecting the spacing to the lower flange

On all four guide rollers:

Rubber spring element

 

Spacing between the guide roller and lower flange

Circlip

*   Push the wire rope hoist on the drum side with the guide rollers all the way onto the lower flange of the main girder.

*   On the counterweight side: Measure the spacing at the front and rear between the lower flange and the guide roller.

*   The maximum spacing between the guide roller and lower flange must not exceed 2 mm.

*   If the spacing is larger: Adjust the guide roller. See Adjusting the guide rollers.

 

 

Inspecting the condition

On all four guide rollers:

*   Turn the guide roller. It must turn easily.

*   Inspect the guide roller. It may not exhibit any signs of damage and the surface may not exhibit any undercuts.

*   If the guide roller is damaged: Replace the guide roller. See Replacing the guide roller and rubber spring element.

 

*   Inspect the rubber spring element. It may not exhibit any damage.

*   If the rubber spring element is damaged: Replace the rubber spring element. See Replacing the guide roller and rubber spring element.

 

*   Inspect the circlips (2x). They must be installed and firmly locked in place.

*   If a circlip is missing: Replace the circlip.
