ND6 HD9 ND9 ND18 Innovations that last… Groupe PACO inc. Established in 1960 and now located in Saint-Hubert (a suburb of Montreal, Canada), Paco has, since its inception, specialized in the development of high-tech electromechanical equipment. Research and Development (R&D) has always been at the heart of Paco’s success. The company’s main strength lies in its ability to apply its inventions to machinery. Paco has patented multiple inventions and continues to innovate in an ever-growing range of products. Spiralifts … innovations that last ! Beside its durability, its precision and its incredible lifting capacity, the most striking characteristic of any Spiralift is its compact height. The Spiralift, which is simple to install and operate, can be mounted easily on any sturdy, load-bearing base with no requirement for free space underneath. The Spiralift employs a coiled, flexible flat steel spring that expands with the insertion of a thin vertically oriented spiral steel band. The result is a fully adjustable column formed of continuously integrated “I”-shaped sections. Its stainless steel on stainless steel construction provides a long lifetime of trouble-free operations with minimal maintenance. Because the Spiralift is not hydraulic, it does not require a pump room or fluids that can leak or contract. It is therefore not influenced by temperature and is completely stable. It is supremely quiet and can be used at any time under the most noise-sensitive circumstances. Spiralift units can be easily configured in modular designs to suit any platform geometry and building architecture. Multiple units can be linked to the same drive train and be fully synchronized. They require modest power and maintenance, yet provide substantial lift capacity. 1 March 20, 2009 CONTENTS SPIRALIFT ND6 3 SPIRALIFT HD9 7 SPIRALIFT ND9 11 SPIRALIFT ND18 15 APPLICATIONS 19 GENERAL INFORMATION 21 2 ND6 The smallest Spiralift model is designed for lighter and shorter lifting requirements. This newest addition to the family provides increased flexibility and versatility in tight spaces. This ND6 comes with an integrated worm drive, which allows for direct coupling with either a motor or drive shaft without the use of chains or belts. The ND6 allows for reduced noise, lower cost, a simplified drive arrangement and quicker installation. Because of its single-part configuration, the ND6 model is considered maintenance-free. It is built to run until replacement is required at the end of its useful lifespan.

DIMENSION “D” IS ADJUSTABLE! Shaft options 4 C ND6 REPRESENTATION 5 MINIMUM LOAD REQUIREMENT – ND6 A minimum required load (MRL) ensures the integrity of the column under normal use and under moderate to strong lateral acceleration. The MRL also ensures that an acceptable lateral force will not affect the Spiralift’s supporting function. It can be reduced if the column is guided at mid travel or protected by guards. The charts below show the MRL for ND6 Spiralifts as a function of the column stroke, which must be taken into consideration when designing Spiralift applications. These figures are for preliminary studies only and should be verified with PACO’s Engineering Department for your specific applications. For example, these figures can be reduced significantly in multiple Spiralift devices or if a safety mechanism reduces the risk of failures under exceptional conditions (safety brake, lock pins, etc).

This heavy-duty model also comes with an oil bath for the horizontal band, allowing for selflubrication and self-cleaning to ensure maintenancefree operation for an increased number of cycles. On-site repairs require minimum training. The design of the HD9 is an ideal combination of the ND6 and ND9 models as it uses a worm gear reduction for direct motor coupling up to 10 hp (7.5 kW). Its tough base can be mounted on an existing structure or a concrete floor without grout or surface preparation.

Refer to the charts of the ND9 model to determine the minimum load to apply to the Spiralift as a function of the travel. SPIRALIFT LIFE CALCULATION – HD9 The Spiralift life for the HD9 model can be calculated using the ND9 life charts. The life of the HD9 can be considered to be 25% more than the ND9 model due to better lubrication conditions and stronger internal bearings. The calculation for the number of cyles remains the same, once we used the charts for the ND9 : HD9 Life distance = Number of cycles = ND9 Life distance x 1.25 Life Distance 2 x Travel The HD9 model main advantage over the ND9 model is that it will achieve its full life without the ND9 maintenance requirement (other than verifying oil quality & level) while the ND9 requires periodic cleaning and lubrication. Also, the ND9 model may require minor parts replacement to continue working while these components were replaced for stronger ones in the HD9 model. Therefore, no work is required on the unit unless an abnormal condition occurs. 10 ND9 The 9 inch diameter (230 mm) model—our most popular to date—is compact and can rise up to 20 feet (6 m) when fully extended. It can carry loads that will satisfy most applications as it can be multiplied until the load per Spiralift is within its capacity (see charts). Thousands of ND9 Spiralifts are currently being used worldwide. This model is usually installed in relatively clean areas or can be protected by bellow skirts if required.

The MRL also ensures that an acceptable lateral force will not affect the Spiralift’s supporting function. The charts below show the MRL for ND18 Spiralifts as a function of the column stroke, which must be taken into consideration when designing Spiralift applications. These figures are for preliminary studies only and should be verified with PACO’s Engineering Department for your specific applications. For example, these figures can be reduced significantly in multiple Spiralift devices or if a safety mechanism reduces the risk of failures under exceptional conditions (safety brake, lock pins, etc).

They must be used in clean industrial areas where they are isolated from excessive dust, humidity and dirt. The pit or lift area must remain clean at all times or have the appropriate protection to ensure reliability and safety. Spiralifts can lift very large loads. However, because of their size, they do so at much slower speeds than closed elevators or hydraulic lift tables. Increasing the speed increases the required power and therefore significantly increases the “closed” height of the system. When appropriately equipped with safety devices, Spiralifts can lift people. Otherwise, the operator should always stand clear of the platform and keeping it in sight during motion. No one should stand under the lift, and all access should be restricted when the unit is in use. The Spiralift is extremely precise and powerful. However, as with any other mechanical device, it is extremely important that it is not overloaded. It must be operated without interference to avoid affecting the column during band insertion. Some parts of the Spiralift turn freely during operation and must be checked regularly to avoid problems with the drive system. Certain maintenance tasks are required, but must be performed by a certified Spiralift technician only. Refer to the owner’s manual for specific maintenance procedures. SELECTING A SPIRALIFT Load and Speed Determine the maximum load (dead and live) of your application, then, determine the desired speed. The quantity of Spiralift can be increased until you meet the total capacity requirement. The speed must meet the Spiralift capabilities, as stipulated in the technical data tables. Typically, speed ramps are required with speeds above 3.3 ft/min (1 m/min) – contact us for more details. Number of Spiralifts The number of Spiralifts needed is based on the combined lifting and sustained capacity of each Spiralift. The load must be evenly distributed on each Spiralift. The configuration of your structure and the location of each Spiralift under it are therefore important. There is a potential tolerance of 0.1% in the manufactured pitch of a Spiralift column. As adjacent Spiralifts travel together, a difference of loading conditions may occur due to the difference in lifting heights. A common way to compensate for the loading difference consists in changing the height and hardness of the rubber on the unit’s top plate. Consider this when choosing a top-plate design. Stroke (travel) Requirement Determine the stroke requirement (travel) and use travel limit switches. Include safety overtravel in the analysis. 21 Minimum Required Load (MRL) Determine whether your total load divided by the number of Spiralifts meets the MRL for each Spiralift. Additional dead weight may be required for small lifts with high travels. Contact us for solutions in case of problems. Undertravel and Overtravel Verify that under and overtravel meet the recommendations given in the appropriate sections above. The under/overtravel recommendations are relative to speed and travel. Spiralifts don’t have mechanical stops. Driving-Sprocket or Input Shaft Height The higher the stroke, the greater the retracted height and chain of input shaft height. The post that the Spiralift sits on can be raised to your specifications. However, the minimum height is determined by the height of the driving sprocket, which in turn relates to travel and to under / overtravel. Top and Bottom Plates PACO provides standard top-plate designs that offer flexibility with respect to attaching them to your structure. Your own design may be incorporated as long as it respects all the safety features mentioned in this catalog.

Total Height (design height) Add the closed height, the undertravel (at least one turn of Spiralift), the top plate height and the bottom plate to get the minimum design height of the system. Verify that this height meets your design criteria. 22 SPIRALIFT SYSTEMS – DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS When designing a system with Spiralift, some design considerations must be kept in mind in order to make sure the system will meet the specified durability, stability, performance and safety. Make sure you fully understand these considerations before attempting to design a Spiralift system. PACO has technical bulletins that can help you during the design process. A formal training may be required for some application, especially if the lifting device is to be used with operators on or close to the system. There are numerous design considerations, for example, in these categories: Spiralift Motors, and other drive components Structure Security Controls Examples of multiple Spiralift drive system Single or dual motor and synchronization drive shaft - Always verify your design with local regulations and consider operators safety when preparing a drive configuration. MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR NOTE : To avoid damaging the units, problems or even injuries, request our Spiralift integration training or contact us to get the Integration technical bulletin and all other bulletins you may need for your specific application. 23 GUIDING REQUIREMENT The lift must be equipped with a guidance system. Lateral force on the Spiralift must be avoided in order to prevent band separation, although the bands are designed to support reasonable lateral force. The Spiralift does not function under tension. Excessive eccentric load may cause tilting problems on multiple Spiralift tables. Do not exceed the maximum point load specified. If the lift has to be moved, it must be handled with the locking hooks provided or be supported from underneath. Pulling on the table floor or top deck could cause damage. INSTALLATION The installation of a Spiralift is simple, yet critical to proper and safe operation. Never apply side loads to the column, do not operate the Spiralift without the minimum dead load required and verify that both bands assemble correctly before loading the Spiralift. Avoid construction debris from falling in the column and center of the Spiralift by covering it properly. The Spiralift works vertically only and must be plumbed. While being plumbed, the guiding system must not jam or bind during motion. To maintain safety, the column alignment must not be off by more than 1/16 inches (1.5 mm). To avoid misalignment from the outset, the base plate should be securely installed. Prior to starting the Spiralift drive system, the magazines should be checked for rotation interference caused by debris or other matter. (The ND6 & HD9 models don’t have a rotating magazine.) For connection to the structure, the column can be raised by hand without additional guiding devices. Special care is required. The column height should not exceed 4 feet (approx. 1.25 m). Work only at very slow speeds if using the motor drive. Limit switches must be installed, even if they are to be relocated or adjusted later on. 24 HOW TO REACH US Head office 3185 1st Street Address Saint-Hubert, Quebec Canada J3Y 8Y6 Telephone +450 678 7226 Fax +450 678 4060 E-Mail spiralift@pacospiralift.com Web site www.pacospiralift.com A complete list of contacts and product information can be found on our Web site.
