Smart System of Pendulum Rides: Simplifies Operation and Maintenance, Maximizes Profit
Beston pendulum rides use a smart system to cut labor and raise efficiency in three areas: daily control, fault diagnostics, and mechanical maintenance. Together, they lower operation and maintenance cost and maximize profit.
One-Touch Operation—Save Time and Labor
With a simple, user-friendly interface, the system allows one-touch start and automatic safety checks. Even non-experts can use it with ease, reducing the need for skilled staff and saving on labor costs. It also supports cloud connectivity for remote control and monitoring, plus data tools to simplify centralized management.
Auto Fault Detection and Maintenance Alerts
The system monitors pendulum swing ride status in real time and gives early warnings of any issues. This helps prevent unexpected breakdowns. Smart alerts also let you plan maintenance during low-traffic times, keeping the ride running and guests happy.
Automated Greasing System—Only 1 Refill per Year
The automatic lubrication system delivers precise, metered amounts of grease to key lubrication points, replacing monthly manual greasing with a single grease refill once a year. This design reduces routine maintenance workload and simplifies daily operation.
Structure and Main Parts of Pendulum Swing Rides
A pendulum ride combines a swinging arm with a rotating passenger gondola. Its main components work together to support the ride, generate motion, and provide access for boarding.
- Swing Arm: Connects the passenger gondola to the main pivot and carries it through the ride’s swinging arc.
- Main Pivot and Drive System: The main pivot supports the swing arm, while the drive system powers and controls the arm’s back-and-forth movement.
- Counterweight (360° models only): Positioned opposite the gondola, the counterweight balances the gondola, so the drive system needs less power to complete a full 360° rotation.
- Passenger Gondola: Holds the passenger seats and restraint systems. It also spins as the arm swings,adding to the thrill.
- Support Structure: Supports the main pivot and bears the ride’s weight and dynamic loads.
- Loading Platform: Provides access for boarding and exiting. On models with a retractable platform, it moves clear of the gondola’s path before the ride begins.
