Better
machine control with
Lowell
ratcheting crank
handles.
WEST BOYLSTON, MA
December 6, 2012 . . .
Ratcheting Crank Handles
from Lowell Corporation
offer an attractive
alternative to
handwheels and similar
devices for set-up and
adjustment of packaging,
converting, and printing
machinery. Applications
include corrugating
rollers, die cutters,
doctor blades, slitters,
unwinds, and rewinds.
With a crank
handle, a user can make
many adjustments: cross
feed; rise and fall; gib
and quill; positioning
screw; and clamping.
Openings include bore
and keyway, square, or
hex and Lowell can also
create custom openings
to customer
specifications.
Combining
leverage and strength
with ergonomic design,
the crank handles make
set-up and adjustment
faster, safer, and
easier for the operator
and easier on machinery.
The devices
are made for hard work.
In the head of each
crank handle is a
control that reverses
the ratchet action
safely and easily. All
cranks are steel and are
made with riveted
stampings. Slim profile
gears are pre-assembled
at the factory and are
not replaceable. With
this rugged
construction, Lowell
crank handles are far
less likely to slip,
stick, or freeze than
other devices and can
even generate enough
torque to serve as a
useful manual backup to
a motor.
Lowell’s crank
handles are designed
primarily for permanent
mounting on shafts or
studs and their
bolt-thru design lets
them attach to any shaft
length. They are
available with either
fixed or rotating metal
handles or lower cost
rotating plastic
handles. Available arm
lengths range from 7”-
12”.
In addition to
replacing devices on
existing machines,
Lowell’s crank handles
can also be incorporated
into the design of new
machinery. Lowell offers
both stock models and
custom designs for
special applications.
Like all of
the company’s products,
Lowell’s Ratcheting
Crank Handles are
guaranteed against
defects in material and
workmanship for a period
of one year from date of
delivery.
