Chapter - 2 Electric overhead travelling crane 2.1, INTRODUCTION The most adaptable and the most widely used type of power driven indoor service is undoubtedly the three-motion .T. crane. It serves a larserarea of floor space within its own travelling restrictions than any other permanent type hoisting arrangement. As the name implies, this type of crane is provided with movement above the floor level. Hence, it occupies no floor space and this can never interfere with any movement of the work being carried out at the floor of the building. The three motions of such crane are the hoisting motion, the long travel motion and the cross travel motion. Each of the motions is provided by electric motors. tee for The above characteristics have made this type of crane suitable for medium and heavy workshop and warehouses. No engineering erection shop, machine shop, foundry, heavy stores is complete without an E.0.T. crane. In a steel plant, rolling mill, thermal or hydroelectric power plant, nuclear power plant, this type of crane is considered indispensable. In short, in all industries, wherein heavy loads are to be handled, E.O.T. crane finds its application 2.2. ESSENTIAL PARTS A E.0.T. crane consists of two distinct parts, viz., (i) the bridge, (ii) the crab. Fig. 2.1 shows the essential parts of a E.O.T. crane. The bridge consists of two main girders fixed at their ends and connected to another structural components called the end carriages. In the two end carriages are mounted the melt runners or wheels (four or more) which provide the longi- tudinal motion to thet ain bridge along the length of the workshop. The motion from an electric motor which is geared to a shaft running F the bridge and further geared to a wheel at each end. In otors may be fitted at each corner of the main bridge. The vy rails fixed above the floor level along the length of called gantry girder. osvith free Fig 21 dese prs ve se below per ae turn mad ona eat oar whl nid ih sti macho ‘a toad re acon the man rcs of he rane bape Neale SE on oma aren of ar monn pre a “a (estou austin Baa] Boston ek (iol Timid. ‘aie urea Peeing Cane Takei Fg FT [mi of pari —— = i Torcrame movement | 7 al on ie Be a a ‘Gets eb ; 23 MFOWTANT DESIGN PARAMETERS pes: “Fh dager hat dpe on se sal dat sat with These i Se parm nt design of eran These re enmans v= the ‘etn dehy te aay tit ma ie tad ‘enn, we the nolay bos ef the ade wey slowly 4 OME fat how The sib gonrally ef och ls capt th the Ma 2 Spun f the Crane THe distance Yetaen the centre 1 conte of the ani aise whch the whet of he be tom The section a ‘utd aso sper fr te Sigh the whens of he brag ta Fig 2, 3 2. eight from Moet Gantry all Level: To ata forthe core ight fi his parame shld be serie. eth cans eve to if out of ts rom below the Nor lev, patcilars shouldbe speed 4: Clot Workat the Crane: Fore pupos espn ofthe eames, every ‘rane a os cif wah espe ote requeny of appietion, variation ot ‘magne cf helondandbe effete pact Suc asieton sal We stern | ‘naecoranewih the provisonsafeltses.3 ofS 807-1976 Cranes four classes Light day cranes come ue las type, Heaviest duty cane ‘lope Light and bean ty canesare discerned the working period, ; loadanddynami ec thisThe working er year Other Win eae buns tive toad te heh fhe Otnera ea Scotking lend om mere then aes nde Eeter ae a ~ grab and bridge or hows are cach hae has wot iM SPe of ta ‘peaion thr than has ga meh lft may be co emporio crane ant send tren cs mun Tt aed Time over 6 hows per sy '< Meadroom : The lah wail frm he Earty it el the west ‘ovcehcat sbeivasion called the head room.
