This award winning new design of the old Load Release mechanism will reliably release weights of up to 50kg. It can be used to drop items such as backdrops, dummies or cables on cue from a remote position. The load can be released as a vertical drop or at angles up to horizontal. The item is attached to a hook arm which pivots free when the magnet is energised. A clever spring is incorporated to throw the arm clear of the magnet when light loads are used. The new models have a rubber sound dampening pad so the operation is virtually silent. A safety catch is incorporated so that the mechanism can be tested prior to the show without releasing the load. The catch should be locked on until it is safe to operate. The Electro Kabuki is supplied with AMP CPC Series 1 connectors so that they can be easily daisy chained. There is no longer any need for a special bracket as the new mounting incorporates two threaded locations to take M12 bolts [max depth 20mm]. Aluminium Doughty or Manfrotto half couplers or suitable hook clamps can be used to make a quick fixing to scaffold size tubes. It can be positioned vertically as shown or mounted horizontally to reduce its profile depth. Wt 2kg.
Now with built in daisy chain feature! Built in safety catch. Sound dampened. M12 threaded inserts top and rear allow easy connection to hook clamps etc. Now also available in 110V ac version [plus other voltages for work abroard]. No wiring necessary- just order ready made cables! Continuous program of improvements- visit flints.co.uk/solenoids for the latest details.
The function of the Electro Kabuki Drop Mechanism is to suspend a load and release it on command from a remote location. Although the equipment is highly reliable it must be remembered that NO SYSTEM IS 100% RELIABLE. The Electro Kabuki must therefore not be used in an application where untimely release of the load might cause injury, death or damage to property. Each mechanism is supplied with detailed instructions which are also available to download from our website.
