Customized Forging And Casting Gantry Crane Wheel

Customized forging and casting gantry crane wheel are the most critical component of the traveling system for cranes but also the most vulnerable due to the friction between crane wheels and rail. Gantry cranes, port cranes, bridge cranes, mining machinery, and so on all make use of driving and driven crane wheels. It is the component on crane equipment that carries the machine’s weight. Additionally, it affects the efficiency of the entire crane equipment. Therefore, the quality of the crane wheel is crucial.

Crane wheels can be divided into various types based on various standards, such as casting and forging crane wheels, single edge and double edge crane wheels, and so on. SEVENCRANE inspects all crane wheel production processes, including design, material, heat treatment, and others, in order to guarantee the assembly’s high quality. The following are the main ways that crane wheels are made: drawing, 3D modeling, FEM analysis, blank wheel, rough machining, heat treatment, finish machining, hardness testing, assembling.

Common crane equipment typically makes use of crane wheel assembly. Crane wheels have evolved over time to be lightweight, compact, and simple to install. It consists primarily of four parts: bearing box, wheel axle, wheel piece, and bearing. The crane wheel can be coupled to the three-in-one reducer directly or indirectly. The shaft is made of 40CrMo material, which needs to be modulated after rough machining. The heat treatment can make the shaft as hard as HB300. The flat key connects the forged 42CrMo wheel piece to the shaft. Modulation of the wheel piece can also raise its hardness to HB300-HB380. Cast steel 25-30 is used to make the bearing box.

SEVENCRANE is a world-renowned high-end machinery manufacturing enterprise with long-term cooperation experience with many well-known enterprises. We have complete production process and equipment R&D capabilities. With more than 25 years of forging equipment production experience, we have a more thorough understanding of all the performance of each equipment.
