In this article, we explore two critical components of overhead cranes: the wheels and travel limit switches. By understanding their design and functionality, you can better appreciate their role in ensuring crane performance and safety.
The wheels used in our cranes are made of high-strength cast iron, which is over 50% stronger than standard wheels. This increased strength allows for smaller diameters to bear the same wheel pressure, reducing the overall height of the crane.
Our cast iron wheels achieve a 90% spheroidization rate, offering excellent self-lubricating properties and minimizing wear on tracks. These wheels are ideal for high-capacity loads, as their alloy forging ensures exceptional durability. Additionally, the dual-flange design enhances safety by effectively preventing derailments during operation.
Travel Limit Switches
Crane travel limit switches are crucial for controlling movement and ensuring safety.
Main Crane Travel Limit Switch (Dual-stage Photocell):
This switch operates with two stages: deceleration and stop. Its advantages include:
Preventing collisions between adjacent cranes.
Adjustable stages (deceleration and stop) to minimize load swing.
Reducing brake pad wear and extending the lifespan of the braking system.
Trolley Travel Limit Switch (Dual-stage Cross Limit):
This component features a 180° adjustable range, with deceleration at 90° rotation and full stop at 180°. The switch is a Schneider TE product, known for high-quality performance in energy management and automation. Its precision and durability ensure reliable operation in various industrial applications.
Conclusion
The combination of high-performance cast iron wheels and advanced travel limit switches enhances crane safety, efficiency, and durability.
