We recently featured PRG’s Speedstar Chain Hoists as our MTN BOX® Pack of the Week. These may look like your ordinary CM Lodestars, but they are loaded with variable speed capabilities that make them leaders in the industry in speed and positional accuracy.
YT Lechner, General Manager for PRG Scenic Technologies, had this to say about the PRG Speedstars:
“PRG’s Speedstar Variable Speed Chain Hoist is a collaborative effort between PRG and CM to provide 1/2T and 1T variable speed hoists with speeds of 110fpm and 55fpm respectively.
With soft starts and stops, speeds approaching almost 2 feet per second and incredible position accuracy, these motors are perfectly suited to any live event that requires reliable and fast variable speed chain motors.”
Here are some of the Speedstar’s features:
- Fully programmable accel/decal for soft starts and stops
- Variable Speed – ½ Ton – 0 – 22 in/sec, 1 Ton – 0 – 11 in/sec
- Dual encoders
- Load monitoring
- Dual electro-mechanical brakes
- Partial BGV-D8+ and BGV-C1 compliance
- Servo positioning
- Programmable speed control
- 60 dB operational noise
- Precision, heat treated machined gears
