The deviation of electric hoist equipment during operation, often referred to as "walking" or "drifting," can be caused by a variety of factors. These issues can compromise safety, efficiency, and the lifespan of the equipment. Below are the primary reasons for such deviations:
1. Mechanical Issues
Wheel or Roller Wear: Worn or damaged wheels/rollers can cause uneven tracking on the rail or beam, leading to sideways drift.
Track Misalignment: Bent, twisted, or improperly aligned tracks can force the hoist to deviate from its path.
Loose or Worn Couplings: Couplings connecting the motor to the gearbox may wear out, causing misalignment and vibration.
Bearing Failure: Worn bearings in wheels or drives can result in excessive play, leading to deviation.
2. Electrical and Control System Problems
Motor Malfunction: A faulty motor (e.g., uneven power output, damaged windings) can cause inconsistent movement.
Brake Issues: Worn or improperly adjusted brakes may fail to hold the load securely, allowing drift.
Control Circuit Faults: Electrical interference, loose connections, or faulty sensors can disrupt signals to the motor, causing erratic movement.
Power Supply Fluctuations: Voltage drops or surges can affect motor performance and lead to deviation.
3. Installation and Setup Errors
Improper Rail Installation: Rails that are not level, parallel, or securely mounted can cause the hoist to drift.
Incorrect Tensioning: For cable-operated hoists, improper cable tension can lead to lateral movement.
Alignment Issues: Misalignment between the hoist’s frame and the rail during installation can cause ongoing deviation.
4. Environmental Factors
Uneven Floors or Structures: Deflections in the supporting structure (e.g., beams, columns) can cause the rail to shift.
Vibration or Shock: External vibrations (e.g., from nearby machinery) can disrupt the hoist’s stability.
Extreme Temperatures: Thermal expansion or contraction of the rail or hoist components can lead to misalignment.
5. Operational Factors
Overloading: Exceeding the hoist’s rated capacity can strain components and cause deviation.
Improper Use: Sudden starts/stops, excessive speed changes, or side-loading (pulling at an angle) can force the hoist off track.
Lack of Maintenance: Regular lubrication, inspection, and adjustment are critical to preventing deviation.
6. Design or Manufacturing Defects
Poorly Designed Components: Subpar wheel profiles, rail geometry, or drive systems can inherently cause deviation.
Manufacturing Tolerances: Oversized or undersized parts may lead to misalignment over time.
