ROEMHELD Tilting Modules, M2.101

ROEMHELD Assembly & Lifting

Product Information

Tilting Modules with foot-pedal-operated indexing offer the possibility of easy manual tilting of heavy components by +/-90°. These modules are equipped with a pneumatic balancer that compensates almost completely for torques generated during tilting; therefore only light forces are required for tilting of the workpiece or fixture. The balancer is adapted to the weight of the workpiece by a pneumatic pressure-reducing valve. The foot-pedal operating unit is connected by a 6-ft hydraulic hose to the tilting module. This flexible connection allows placement of the operating unit at the most favorable ergonomic position.

By pushing the foot pedal 35° downward, the index position is released and the workpiece or fixture can be tilted. Tilting is performed manually in either direction. Whenever the foot pedal is released, the index bolt engages automatically into the next indexing position. Operation by foot pedal allows the operator to keep both hands free. The standard indexing positions are set to 0° and 90°. Other engagement positions are available on request. The tilting module is equipped with a hydraulic brake for maximum operating safety.
