There are many factors that determine the safety of a coil upender system, including the design, construction and maintenance of the system …… If only the drive is considered, a worm gear motor is safer than a regular gear motor.
This is a typical worm gear motor. Motor and worm gear combinations are often considered safer than motor and standard gear combinations in turning applications for many reasons.
Firstly, a worm gear setup provides a higher reduction ratio between the motor and the output shaft, which means that it requires less force to turn the output shaft. This reduction ratio makes it more difficult for the load to back-drive the motor, which reduces the risk of uncontrolled or unexpected movement.
Secondly, a worm gear setup has a self-locking feature, which means that when the motor is not actively turning the output shaft, the worm gear maintains its position and prevents the load from moving. This feature helps to prevent unintended movement of the load, which can be a safety hazard in some applications. For example, the machine can stop at any turning angle and keeping the load position steady even sudden power failure.
Thirdly, worm gears tend to be quieter and smoother in operation compared to standard gears, which can also be beneficial in certain applications.
Why normal motor with gear is not in high sefety level?
The helical gear and the output shaft of the motor are in a straight line, so that the stopping of the upender is done by the motor brake. If the machine stops in the middle of a turn, the brake cannot hold a heavy load for a long time. And if it is not safe, because the load is too heavy, it may topple over and fall down halfway through the turn if the power is stopped. That would cause a safety accident.
The mechanical upenders provided by FHOPEPACK are all made with worm gear + motor. Its strong and safe design enables the racket to withstand tough working conditions. Double safety protection: 1. motor brake 2. worm gear. Feel free to contact us for more information.
