Cranes and hoists

Vertical movements are becoming increasingly important in intralogistics. Cranes and hoists must lift, move, and position loads safely—often in conjunction with automated storage or conveyor systems. Safe, robust, and proven drive solutions are crucial here.

Worm gear sets for cranes and hoists

Flexible crane systems ensure that heavy loads can be moved, lifted, and positioned ergonomically and reliably in numerous industrial sectors. In chain hoists, worm gear sets from Framo Morat ensure precise power transmission, high performance, and reliable compensation for axial misalignment. That is why these low-noise, low-wear brass-steel worm gear sets are used worldwide in demanding crane systems.
 
They are also used in spindle lifts for lifting vehicles used for the maintenance of heavy machinery and equipment. There, the worm gear sets are optimized for high load capacities, long service life, and minimal backlash.
 
Advantages at a glance:
  • Powerful and precise with reliable axial misalignment compensation
  • Optimized for high loads and minimal backlash
  • Low noise and low wear for long service life

Compacta gear motor for magnetic lifting technology

The Compacta MS12 gear motor from Framo Morat ensures reliable and precise adjustment of the magnetic units of the lifting device in magnetic lifting systems (from Wilbers Lifting). Its compact design and low weight enable space-optimized integration. At the same time, the high torque ensures safe adjustment of the magnetic lifting units for heavy workpieces, while the integrated slip clutch protects against overload situations. With its robust, industrial-grade design, the Compacta MS12 is ideally suited for short-term operation in magnetic lifting technology.
 
Advantages at a glance:
  • Compact design and low weight
  • High torque for handling heavy loads
  • Slip clutch as a safety component
  • Reliable in short industrial operation

Spur gearboxes for industrial hoists

In industrial cranes, spur gearboxes reliably transmit power from the motor to the chain or rope hoist. A multi-stage design allows high transmission ratios to be achieved while maintaining a compact design. This enables very high loads to be moved ergonomically and safely. Precise manufacturing and high-quality materials ensure long-lasting, low-wear operation and meet the highest requirements in safety-critical production environments. A modular solution enables five different reduction ratios to be achieved in a single housing.
 
Advantages at a glance:
  • Efficient torque transmission with low friction losses thanks to optimized gearing
  • Compact, multi-stage design for high gear ratios with minimal installation space
  • Safe in use and suitable for safety-critical lifting applications
  • Various reduction ratios in the same housing with modular design

Worm gear sets in screw jacks for industrial lifting applications

How can heavy loads be moved with millimeter precision? With screw jacks, which perform key functions in industrial manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and testing and handling systems—for lifting, adjusting, or positioning. Here, the drive components must be compact, powerful, and permanently reliable.
One example is the C-series screw jack from NEFF Gewindetriebe: it lifts, moves, and positions even containers weighing several tons with precision and safety. The worm gear sets from Framo Morat transfer the drive force to the spindle and enable smooth, controlled linear movement. With center distances of up to 80 mm and gear ratios of up to 80:1, they are ideal for powerful lifting units in confined spaces.
The combination of case-hardened steel and wear-resistant composite metal ensures a long service life and smooth running – even with frequent load changes or changing environmental conditions. Thanks to their self-locking teeth, the screw jacks hold loads securely in position and ensure maximum operational reliability in continuous industrial use.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Compact design: Ideal for limited installation space in lifting applications
  • High transmission ratio: Powerful, slow linear movement with up to 80:1
  • Durability: Wear-resistant materials for continuous operation
  • Smooth running: Uniform running for synchronous multiple drives
