CM Lodestar Model A-2 | 150 lb High-Precision Electric Chain HoistOVERVIEWThe CM Lodestar Model A-2 (150 lb Edition) is a specialized, high-speed lifting solution engineered for precision industrial environments. While most Lodestar Model A units are rated for 250 lbs, this specific 150 lb (68 kg) variant is optimized for high-duty cycle applications that require an increased safety factor and surgical accuracy. It is the premier choice for electronics assembly, laboratory use, and light-duty material handling where load control is critical.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSManufacturer: CM (Columbus McKinnon)Model: A-2 (Precision Series)Rated Capacity: 150 lbs (68 kg) * Lifting Speed: Dual Speed (10 / 32 FPM)Power Supply: 460V | 3-Phase | 60 HzDuty Class: H4 Rated (300 motor starts per hour)Chain Type: Link Chain (Hoistaloy® zinc-plated)Reeving: 1-Part ReevedOrigin: Made in the USAKEY FEATURESDUAL-SPEED PRECISION: Features a 10 FPM low speed for delicate "creep" positioning and a 32 FPM high speed for rapid throughput. This dual-speed motor allows operators to handle fragile loads without the risk of abrupt starts or stops.ENHANCED SAFETY MARGIN: By utilizing a chassis typically rated for higher loads, this 150 lb unit offers superior drivetrain longevity and reduced stress on the braking system, ensuring maximum reliability under constant use.HEAVY-DUTY DC BRAKE: Equipped with a dedicated DC magnetic brake designed for instantaneous stopping and long-term durability. The brake is located for easy external inspection without a full teardown.LIFETIME LUBRICATION: The gear train is permanently lubricated with non-oxidizing grease. This leak-proof design is ideal for clean environments where oil drips are prohibited.5-POCKET LIFT WHEEL: Precision-machined wheel ensures smoother chain engagement, which reduces vibration and significantly extends the life of the load chain.NEMA 3R RATED: Housed in a lightweight, rugged aluminum frame with an acid-resistant powder coating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial service.
