Hand hoists are chain operated. There are four types: spur geared, worm geared, differential, and pull-lift or lever ... Worm-gear hoists transform about 1/3 - l/2 the input energy to useful work. Offsetting this low efficiency is the locking characteristic of the worm drive. The load cannot turn the mechanism; consequently the load is at all times restrained from running away. 1, record 1, English, - worm%2Dgear%20hoist

Les palans à bras. Ils sont de plusieurs sortes. [...] Les palans à vis [...] comprennent une vis sans fin, calée sur un arbre actionné par une noix sur laquelle passe la chaîne de manœuvre. [...] Ces palans sont irréversibles, mais leur faible rendement (0,5) ne permet pas de les utiliser pour des charges supérieures à 5 t. Les [...] palans à vis sont de plus en plus abandonnés au bénéfice des palans à engrenages. 3, record 1, French, - palan%20%C3%A0%20vis
