A new and recent addition to the Schmersal range for the UK market is the “weight-watcher” series from Henning GmbH. more

You do not have to be an expert to realise how important the correct rope tension for elevators is to achieve and maintain. Insufficiently adjusted ropes and excessive total weights result in undesirable and premature wear. Thanks to the WeightWatcher rope load measuring system, rope adjustment and weighing of car and counterweight has now become easier. Due to the patented measuring principle the exact loads in each rope can be measured, without the necessity of prior calibration with weights. Furthermore this is achieved within seconds. The integrated rope adjustment wizard will guide you through the rope adjustment and logs each measurement in a report that can be transferred to a PC. This makes the WeightWatcher the optimum tool for your service to customers. more

The Henning Overload Measuring System is designed according to a new measuring principle: On each rope a sensor is mounted, which no longer requires calibrating with the time consuming use of weights. Stock control will become easier: One sensor type will incorporate a maximum of 11 different rope diameters. A unique and amazing simple rope tension adjustment wizard is integrated into the software. Within a few minutes a complete rope set can be adjusted in the easiest andbest possible way. As a result the permanent rope tension sensors now prevents unnecessary wear of the traction sheaves and ropes. more

Since the publication of EU directive 2002/91/EC, efficient operation has been the focus of building technology and management. Starting with the publication of directive VDI 4707 by VDI The Association Of German Engineers in March 2009 it has become topical for lifts as well. Specifically targeting existing lifts it is common today to label them as energy wasters. An important amount of energy is wasted by the use of continuous cabin illumination. LIGHTwatcher will enable you to have the cabin illumination simply switched off when not required. This can be achieved without any great installation effort, new wiring or adaptation to lift controls. more

The R & D Department at Henning GmbH infused their experience of many years in the develop¬ment of the WeightWatcher light family. Particular focus on ease of mounting and installation based on our customer comments have produced a competitively priced but high-grade quality Overload Measuring System that meets the requirements of EN 81. more

For hard-to-access mounting situations. With the ZSM 476, the Schmersal Group presents a latching position switch with multiple contacts for use both in elevator technology and in general machinery construction. The position switch with safety function features an electrically triggered reset function. more

Smaller than a standardised switch – smooth fitting. The Schmersal Group presents as an Innovation at Interlift 2009 - the latest position switch range with safety function with our Z/T 196 series. more

Schmersal launched the system in 2002 to the UK market. Now, with an average 500 pcs sold every year, the USP is now an industry recognised product. The USP uses a non – contact principle and therefore eliminates both noise and friction. It is an absolute encoder system, similar to a rotary encoder. To incorporate relay technology the Parallel Interface or USP-Pi converts the absolute position value into 24V dc outputs. more

The Schmersal range of Door Contacts with positive break (normally closed) contacts are suitable for monitoring both door position and door locking mechanisms. Available in 10 different versions for all elevator types. The AZ series comply to EN-81 where safety switches must be actuated 2mm beyond the switching point. more

Position Switches with Safety Function from standard electro/mechanical position switches to electromagnetic reset switches – Schmersal Elevator Technology are used where safety or positioning accuracy are of paramount importance. With the growing popularity of MRL installations the ZSM241(electromagnetic reset) for monitoring overspeed governors is an important addition to the range. more
