Single girder overhead traveling crane, also known as a single girder bridge crane, is a type of crane that consists of a single horizontal beam, called a girder, which is supported at both ends and travels along elevated runways or tracks.
Variable speed single girder overhead traveling crane is widely used in workshops, warehouses and stockyards of machinery manufacturing workshops, metallurgical workshops, petroleum, petrochemical, ports, railways, civil aviation, power stations, paper-making, building materials, and electronics industries.
Variable speed electric overhead crane has the advantages of compact dimensions, low building clearance, light weight, and low wheel pressure.
Single Girder Overhead Travelling Crane Component
1. Main beam - The main traveling structure of the electric overhead crane which spans the width of the bay and travels in a direction parallel to the runway.
2. End trucks - Located on either side of the bridge, the end trucks house the wheels on which the entire crane travels. It is an assembly consisting of structural members, wheels, bearings, axles, etc., which supports the bridge girder(s) or the trolley cross member(s).
3. Runway - The rails, beams, brackets and framework on which the crane operates.
4. Trolley - The trolley is the moving component of the crane that travels along the bridge girder(s) horizontally. It carries the hoisting mechanism and is responsible for the lateral movement of the load.
5. Hoist - The hoist is the lifting mechanism of the crane. It is mounted on the trolley and is used to lift and lower the load. The hoist typically consists of a motor, gearbox, drum, ropes or chains, and a hook or other lifting attachment.
6. Electrical System - The electrical system of the single girder overhead traveling crane includes various components such as motor controls, contactors, limit switches, push buttons, pendant control stations, and wiring. It provides power and control for the crane's movement and lifting operations.
7. Pendant Control - The pendant control station is a handheld control device connected to the crane by a flexible cable. It allows the operator to control the crane's movements, including hoisting, lowering, and traveling, from a safe distance.
8. Safety Features - Single girder overhead traveling cranes are equipped with several safety features to ensure safe operation. These features may include overload protection devices, limit switches to prevent over-travel or collision, emergency stop buttons, and warning alarms.
9. End Stops - End stops are installed at the ends of the runway to prevent the crane or trolley from inadvertently traveling off the runway.
10. Optional Accessories - Single girder overhead traveling cranes can be equipped with various optional accessories based on specific requirements. These may include radio remote controls, festooned electrification systems, anti-collision devices, and auxiliary hoisting mechanisms.
