Features of HB Type Explosion Proof Electric Hoists

1. Explosion-Proof Treatment of Key Components:

Explosion-Proof Motor: Utilizes flame-proof motors. Their housing possesses extremely high strength, capable of containing any internal explosion (e.g., from an electrical spark due to winding short-circuit). It isolates the flame and high-temperature gases within the housing, allowing them to cool sufficiently while passing through housing gaps, thereby preventing ignition of the external explosive atmosphere.

Explosion-Proof Control Electrical Apparatus: Includes explosion-proof push-button switches, limit switches, contactors, and ultimate limit switches. The contacts of these components are enclosed within flame-proof housings, effectively sealing operational sparks.

Explosion-Proof Junction Box: All cable entries and connections are made through dedicated explosion-proof junction boxes to prevent electrical sparks from escaping at connection points.

2. Spark-Resistant Design for Mechanical Parts:

Explosion-Proof Brake: The brake can generate friction sparks during operation. Therefore, its manufacturing materials (such as beryllium bronze, aluminum bronze, and other spark-resistant metals) and structure are specially designed.

Anti-Collision Measures: The hoist's travel trolley and lifting mechanism are usually equipped with anti-collision buffers to prevent severe impacts between metal parts that could generate mechanical sparks.

Grounding Protection: A comprehensive grounding system prevents the accumulation of static electricity and subsequent spark generation.

3. Housing Material:

Extensive use of spark-resistant materials, such as copper alloys (H62 brass, beryllium bronze), stainless steel, or high-strength engineering plastics. These materials are less likely to generate mechanical sparks when colliding with each other or with ferrous metals.
