Key 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.

Overhead Crane Components

Bridge

The bridge is the primary structure of an overhead 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 and Trolley

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: This 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

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 or a wireless remote control.
  • Drive System: The drive system includes the motors and gearboxes that power the crane’s movements, including the bridge, trolley, and hoist.

Crane Rails

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 crane rails, including:

  • Standard Rails: Commonly used for light to medium-duty applications.
  • Wide Rails: Used for heavy duty bridge cranes, providing greater support and stability.

End Stops and Limit Switches

End stops and limit switches are safety features that prevent the crane from moving beyond its operational limits:

  • End Stops: These are physical barriers placed at the ends of the crane rails to prevent the 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.

Electrical and Safety Systems

Electrical systems power the crane and include various safety features:

  • Power Supply: Overhead 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.

Structural Supports

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.

FAQs for Overhead Cranes

How often should overhead cranes be inspected?
Regular inspections are crucial for ensuring the safety and performance of overhead lifting cranes. Inspection frequencies generally include:
  • Routine Inspections: Daily or weekly checks for visible issues and general condition.
  • Periodic Inspections: More thorough inspections by qualified personnel, usually performed quarterly or semi-annually.
  • Annual Inspections: Comprehensive inspections that comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the crane meets all safety standards.
How often should overhead cranes be serviced?
Regular servicing helps maintain the crane’s performance and extend its lifespan. Service intervals typically include:
  • Routine Maintenance: Monthly or quarterly maintenance tasks, such as lubrication and minor adjustments.
  • Scheduled Servicing: Semi-annual or annual servicing by a qualified technician, including detailed inspections and necessary repairs.
  • Emergency Servicing: As needed, when issues or breakdowns occur.
How to operate an overhead crane?
Operating an overhead crane machine involves several key steps:
  • Pre-Operation Check: Inspect the crane for any issues before use, including checking load limits, controls, and safety devices.
  • Controls Familiarization: Understand the crane’s control system, whether manual, remote, or cab-operated.
  • Load Handling: Position the crane correctly, attach the load securely, and operate smoothly to lift, move, and lower the load as required.
  • Safety Procedures: Follow safety protocols, such as avoiding overloading, maintaining clear communication with others, and ensuring the work area is clear.
  • Post-Operation: Conduct a final check and ensure the crane is properly parked and secured.

How does an overhead crane work?
An overhead bridge crane operates through a combination of structural elements and mechanical systems:
  • Structure: The crane consists of a bridge (single or double girder) supported by runway beams, allowing it to move along the length of the workspace.
  • Hoist Mechanism: The hoist, mounted on the bridge, lifts and lowers the load using a motor-driven drum and wire rope or chain.
  • Trolley System: The hoist is mounted on a trolley that moves horizontally along the bridge.
  • Controls: The crane is operated using controls that direct the hoist and trolley movements, allowing precise positioning of the load.

What are the different types of control systems for overhead cranes?
Bridge overhead cranes can be equipped with various control systems, including:
  • Pendant Control: Operation from a control panel attached to the crane.
  • Remote Control: Wireless operation using a handheld device for flexibility and convenience.
  • Cab Control: Operation from an enclosed cabin mounted on the crane, providing a clear view and precise control.
What are the power requirements for overhead cranes?
The power requirements for overhead beam cranes vary based on:
  • Crane Type and Size: Large overhead cranes with higher capacities require more power.
  • Operational Needs: Features such as frequency conversion and high-speed lifting may affect power consumption.
  • Local Electrical Standards: Compliance with local electrical codes and regulations is necessary.
