MISIA’S XM SERIES
The design of Misia wire rope hoist units is complemented by the use of quality components. All gearboxes are of planetary gear type, two or three stages and lubricated for life. Motors can be supplied either with cylindrical type with disc brake or tapered rotor conical motors, depending on application or customer preference. The rope guide is manufactured using high quality materials and bearings. Ropes are of high endurance class and galvanised. Monorail low headroom trolleys utilise Misia’s twin drive live axel design with planetary geared motors and gearboxes fitted directly onto the drive shaft of the trolley wheels eliminating the need of external gears. The manufacturing of the standard version of XM series wire
rope hoists covers over 90% of the company’s production. This confirms the flexibility of Misia’s products in adapting to many industrial lifting applications without subjecting the user to a bespoke product. The production of the new XM series includes 11 construction sizes for capacities between 1,000kg and 50,000kg, two or four rope falls, lifting speeds ranging from 1.5m/min to 12m/min, feet mountings allowing “supported” or “suspended” fixing (for foot mounted or double rail “crab” units). A wide range of travelling trolleys are also available in either double or monorail version, with the option of low or standard headroom, with a range of hoists with hook travel from 32–65m and over and capacity from 1,600–5,000kg, two rope falls and hoists with double output rope from the drum (4/2 reeving), capacity from 1,600–25,000kg.
Standard configurations The XM series of Misia wire rope hoist are available in the following configurations: S2 version (two rope falls): Lifting capacity from 1,000kg to 16,000kg either supported or suspended. S4 version (four rope falls): Lifting capacity from 2,000kg to 32,000kg either supported or suspended. D2 version (true vertical lift): Lifting capacity from 1,600kg to 25,000kg. Only in “supported” execution: For capacities from 20,000kg up to 25,000kg, two rope falls. For capacities from 40,000kg up to 50,000kg, four rope falls.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your role as an industry leader? My name is Aldo Luigi Carozzi and I’ve been working in the lifting industry since 2000. Previously, I worked at IBM, then for a
mortgage company and, before joining Misia, for a real estate company.
I must say that this is the job that gives me the most satisfaction and pride, because you play a leading role in the creation of industrial products, from semi-finished to finished products. This is a field of engineering creativity that I’ve always found decidedly more interesting than more routine activities.
