The Pegasus Power Flying
solution, comprising the Alpha, Beta and Delta hoists is designed to
complement the Impressario stage automation
system, so that
AVW can offer a complete power flying
solution.
In collaboration with respected
mechanical design engineer Mike Barnett MBE and Karris
Engineering Ltd, AVW have developed a range of hoists for use in theatre and
entertainment venues, primarily for lifting scenery and lighting bars. The Alpha, Beta,
and Delta hoists have a range of options to fit every
conceivable requirement. Please contact us with your
specific requirements.
Alpha Power
Hoist
The Pegasus Alpha hoist is a fully featured
multi-line helical-grooved drum hoist with fleet
compensation and double silent monitored brakes that will lift loads of up to 500kg at speeds
of up to 1.8 m/s.
The
Pegasus hoist achieves zero-fleet wire rope payout by using
a travelling sheave arrangement. This gives the advantage
of using a smaller drum diameter which requires less motor
torque but achieves fast wire-rope payout without the
problems of excessive fleet angle or excessive header pulley
height.
The
Pegasus Alpha Hoist has a number of features
including:
Travelling sheave
for fleet compensated fast multi-wire payout
500kg payload
with 1.8m/S speed and better than 1mm positional accuracy
Load cell for
constant measurement of actual load
DIN56950, BS7905 compliant
mechanical design
DIN56925 compliant silent double
brakes (<55dB) with monitoring,
Incremental and
absolute encoder options
Slack rope
detection option
Motor
temperature monitoring option
Direct struck
over-travel limit switch
Mounts at 300 mm
centres horizontally or vertically
Noise level is
68dB at 1 meter when lifting 250kg at 1.8m/S
Beta
Counterweight Assist Hoist
The
Pegasus Beta counterweight
assist hoist is used to convert traditional counterweight systems to
powered flying. The Beta is a fleet compensated winch with
double silent monitored brakes that mounts on 300mm centres and powers a replacement steel
wire hauling line. Typically a 300kg counterweight system
will be left half loaded and the Beta hoist will power the
out of balance load, i.e. +/- 150kg at 1.5m/s. Optional features are constant weight
monitoring and slack rope detection.
The Beta can also be used for horizontal
stage machinery such as stage wagons.
Delta Point
Hoist
The Delta point hoist is
a fully featured helical drum hoist with travelling sheave fleet compensation, double silent
monitored brakes that will lift loads of up to 250kg at speeds
of up to 1.6 meters
per second. The Delta is only 300mm wide so it can
be easily maneuvered on a theatre or television studio grid. Optional features are constant weight
monitoring and slack rope detection.
