STORM BRAKE / RAIL CLAMP TYPE VZFH-HVZ, WITH LIFTING AND POSITIONING FUNCTION About the product Patented: Storm brake / rail clamp with integrated lifting and positioning function. With integrated lifting function No contact to the rail during crane travel / Therefore no wear on clamping jaws and guide rollers during crane travel No guide rollers for guidance the clamp on the rail during crane travel Lateral positioning function for lowering the clamp system -(patented pending system) Particularly suitable for fast moving crane systems Particularly suitable for transverse travels / cross-runs Restraining / holding forces up to 840 kN per clamp Self acting in case of power failure MADE IN GERMANY VZFH-HVZ is an upgrade version of standard rail clamp type VZFH. Features Closing by spring force with toggle lever system – adjustable by throttle Opening by hydraulic-cylinder (Hydraulic power unit is integrated) Hand pump for emergency operation (manual) is supplied (standard) Automatically closing function in case of power failure No loss of restraining / holding force due to toggle lever transmission resulting from e.g. wear of clamping jaws (permissible measure) Limit switch position control system “Clamp open”, “Clamp close” and alarm signal “worn clamp jaws” Position control switch for “Clamp is in lifting position / Crane travel is possible Vertical movement compensation of + 40 mm up to – 20 mm Lateral compensation for rail misalignment of ± 25 mm with integrated lateral guidance system during lowering During crane operation all parts of the clamp are positioned above the rail system / Therefore no wear of any components during crane operation
