New Lever Hoist Line

Debuts

Columbus McKinnon Corporation (CM) has expanded its Series 653 Lever

Hoist line. CM's Series 653 hoist line offers lifting capability from .75 to 3 tons (750 to 3000 kilograms) and a standard lift from 5 to 20 ft. (1.5 to 6 m). "Our confi- dence in the quality of the Series 653 was behind our decision to offer a five-year war- ranty period on this product, the best warranty of any lever hoist in the value-priced category and four years longer than our 637 series, the product the 653 is replacing," said

Timothy Tevens, CM President and

CEO. "Its short handle, along with minimal lever pull effort, make the 653 an ideal tool for a number of construction and industrial applications in addition to hoisting, including pulling in confined spaces and stretching. The chain guide rollers on the 653 also reduce slippage over comparable products."

New Disc Brake

Unveiled

Dellner Brakes model SKD 100 disc brake is a direct acting, hydraulic or pressure applied, spring released unit.

The braking force achieved is directly proportional to the applied pressure. The brake consists of two symmetrical halves between which spacers can be mounted to accommodate different brake disc thicknesses. Each brake half has two cylindrical guide pins that trans- mit the tangential braking force from the brake lining to the brake housing and mounting stand. As a result, the brake pistons are not subject to any radial forces, which contribute to longer brake ^ORTELBOER life.

Two springs on each brake half retract the brake pads from the disc when pres- sure is released. Brake lining wear is automatically compensat- ed with increased cylinder stroke.

Kittiwakes Launched

Economical Viscotube

The new Kittiwake Viscotube is designed to test for viscosity. Many fac- tors can adversely affect the viscosity of oil. For example, water can reduce it. whereas soot or carbon deposits can increase it. Either way it can damage the machine, reduce the efficiency of the operation. The standard unit of measure for oil is in centistokes at 40 degrees C and with Kittiwakes new Viscotube the samples can be tested on site for later inputting into the software giving accu-
