Key Structural Components of Overhead Crane Systems
Understanding the key components of overhead bridge crane systems is crucial for selecting the right crane, ensuring proper maintenance, and achieving optimal performance. Take a look at the fundamental components of overhead crane systems and their functions.
Bridge – The Main Load-Carrying Structure
The bridge is the primary structure of an overhead lifting crane that spans the width of the area to be serviced. It consists of two main parts:
- Bridge Girder: This is the main horizontal beam that carries the load. It can be a single or double girder, depending on the overhead crane capacity and application. Double girder bridges are typically used for heavier loads and provide greater lifting heights.
- End Trucks: Attached to the ends of the bridge girder, end trucks are equipped with wheels that run on the crane rails. They allow the bridge to move horizontally along the length of the rails.
Hoist or Trolley – Lifting and Horizontal Load Movement
The hoist is the component responsible for lifting and lowering the load. It is mounted on the bridge girder, and can be a single hoist or double hoist overhead crane. The hoist typically includes:
- Lifting Mechanism: For overhead electric hoist crane, the lifting mechanism consists of a motor, gearbox, and drum or chain that raises and lowers the load.
- Load Chain or Wire Rope: This is the part of the hoist that directly supports the load. Chains are used in chain hoists, while wire ropes are used in wire rope hoists.
- Brake System: The brake system ensures the hoist can hold the load securely in place. It includes a motor brake and a load brake, which work together to prevent accidental movement.
The trolley moves along the bridge girder and supports the hoist. It is powered by an electric motor, allowing for precise control and smooth movement along the bridge girder.
Controls – Commanding the Overhead Crane Safely
The control system manages the crane’s operations and includes:
- Control Panel: This is the central hub where operators can control the crane’s movements. It can be a pendant control station attached to the crane, a wireless remote control, or a cab operated overhead crane.
- Drive System: The drive system includes the motors and gearboxes that power the crane’s movements, including the bridge, trolley, and hoist.
Crane Rails – Guiding Long Travel Motion
Crane rails are the tracks on which the crane moves. They are installed on the building’s structure and must be aligned precisely to ensure smooth operation. There are different types of overhead rail cranes, including:
- Standard Rails: Commonly used for light to medium-duty applications.
- Wide Rails: Used for heavy duty bridge cranes, providing greater support and stability.
Electrical and Safety Systems – Ensuring Secure Operation
Electrical systems power the crane and include various safety features:
- Power Supply: Over head cranes are typically powered by an electric supply, with wiring that needs to be properly insulated and maintained.
- Safety Sensors: These include overload sensors, emergency stop buttons, and safety interlocks to ensure safe operation.
- End Stops: These are physical barriers placed at the ends of the crane rails to prevent the overhead track crane from running off the rails.
- Limit Switches: These are electrical devices that automatically stop the crane when it reaches its maximum or minimum travel limits.
Structural Supports – The Foundation of the Overhead Crane System
The structural supports of industrial overhead cranes include:
- Columns: These vertical supports hold up the crane rails and bridge. They must be robust and securely anchored to the building’s foundation.
- Supports and Braces: Additional structural elements provide stability and prevent the crane from swaying or tipping.
