Tongs

Product Details:

The tong is a type of machine that modifies and transforms input forces into desired output forces.  Although tongs come in a multitude of shapes and configurations, most of them can be broken down into a simple “fourbar” linkage for analyzing their movement and forces.  Although each material handling application will require specific analytical calculations to determine the proper structural configuration of the tong, a simple static analysis of a tong will show important relationships that can be helpful when selecting the proper tong for your application.  Figure 1 shows a simple pressure type tong grab; the specific loads on the links have been exploded for illustration.  Our goal is to perform a summation of moments around the center pin (point Z) to determine the equation for the force on the load

mechanical lifters are designed to safely lift concrete pipes. The lifter does not require additional hydraulics. The operator is able to use the pipe lifter to grab, lift and move pipes without assistance. The narrow profile allows for the easy installation of concrete pipes into tight trenches.
