The Fabricon Mechanism

Together with experienced design, engineer, and technical professionals, Fabricon has developed a machine that is an art form of its own. We call our machine "The Muscle." No other mechanism available can match our drive--either in its smooth, quiet, safe ride or in its near lubrication- and grease-free owner-friendly operation. The sophistication of the Fabricon drive and structure is a perfect complement to the beauty of the Fabricon carousel. 

  • Heavy HD steel tubing, aircraft-standard connections.
  • Top bearing: Our thrust and compression bearing assembly is pre-lubricated and sealed at Fabricon, requiring no future adjusting.
  • Our center bearing assembly consists of stacked, self-lubricating UHMW discs which are sealed on site during installation, a unique development of Fabricon engineering.
  • Our crank bearings are engineered specifically for Fabricon, machined from the same UHMW, self-lubricating.

 

  • Variable speed control and built-in dynamic braking. The RPMs, ramp-up, and deceleration time are set upon installation.
  • Ride duration timer.
  • Separate controls for start, emergency stop and lock-key.
  • Start-up bell delay.


Often the most demanding feature of carousel maintenance is the repeated lubrication of gears, bearings, and moving parts, but Fabricon's mostly grease-free and oil-free parts hare eliminated oil and grease from maintenance procedures by floating the sealed top and center bearings. Our crank gear system is an interface of a cast bevel gear and pinion gears. This is the only area of the mechanism requiring lubrication. All other moving parts are lubrication-free components. Fabricon's mainframe and drive systems have been designed for easy part replacement and repair, utilizing, in all possible circumstance, stock and locally available components. Our manual clearly explains the process of day-to-day care.

All Fabricon carousels are built to current A.S.T.M and DIN 412 standards for safety and reliability. Our electrical console and system is built to the national electric codes as determined by A.S.T.M. standards.
