3.4 Gearbox oil filling


The quantity of oil needed in the hoist gearbox depends on the DMR 5 – 16 size. The hoist gearbox is filled ac‐
cordingly before it leaves the factory.
Under normal operating conditions, the lubricant does not need to be changed until a general overhaul is carried
out.
Under exceptional conditions, e.g. increased ambient temperatures, we recommend that the lubricant be changed
to suit these operating conditions.

3.9 Track girder requirements

3.9.1 Runway

43311244.eps

Fig. 4 Runway paint finish

NOTE. Only apply a primer coat to the running surfaces, as the travel characteristics would be impaired by a
finish coat.

Minimum requirements for runways:


● Do not use beams with profile sections and cross-sections that are smaller than the minimum dimensions
specified in our documents for track girders of double-rail crabs as otherwise deformation of the girders can
occur. Permissible deviations in dimension and shape of the track girder according to DIN EN 10034.
The special travel unit requirements are listed in accordance with the ranges in the following chapter  "Travel
unit", Page 23:
- Dimensional accuracy of the tracks
211 395 44/170619

- Tolerance of the individual girder, of the crab track gauge


- Difference in rail height
- Gradient of the crab rails

22
● Hoist travel on track beams must in no way be obstructed by protruding suspension bolts, screw heads, butt
straps, clamping plates, etc.
● Track gradients should not exceed 2%.
● Appropriately dimensioned end stops must be fitted at both ends of the trolley runway.
● Track joints must be clean and smooth. Bolted joints must be outside the travel area of the travel wheels (ob‐
serve maximum web thickness).
● Installing the cross-travel unit  "Checking dimensional accuracy of the tracks", Page 31.
● The running surfaces of rails and track beams must only be given a primer coat of 40 µ in the area of the
wheels and guide rollers. Travel characteristics would be impaired by a finish coat ( Fig. 4, Page 22).
● Rails and track beams should be kept clean; oil, grease, ice and dirt on the running surfaces will cause travel
wheels to skid.

3.9.2 Travel unit

The travel units have a fixed width. See  technical data 203 796 44

Before installing the travel unit on the track, it must be checked for dimensional accuracy,  "Checking dimen‐
sional accuracy of the tracks", Page 31.
Do not use the double-rail crab to pull free, pull or drag loads on the ground.
It must never run against the buffer stops at full speed, as otherwise damage or accidents may occur.

2 Rope drum 6 Hoist motor and hoist gearbox
3 Cross-travel drive 7 Bottom block
4 EZ-DMR crab frame

Demag EZ-DMR double-rail crabs are manufactured in two ranges, each with three groups of mechanisms.
The design is characterised by parallel arrangement of the rope drum and the hoist motor. The gearbox housing
and the electric equipment enclosure are central components of the rope hoist. These two components are bolted
together to form the hoist frame by means of three connecting rods.
The crab frame consists of a welded steel structure for accommodating the hoist unit and the rope reeving com‐
ponents as well as the travel wheels and the cross-travel drive.

4.2 Drives

4.2.1 MBV hoist motors


A Demag MBV cylindrical-rotor motor with a DC brake is used as the hoist motor. The 12/2-pole motor enables a
creep lifting speed of 1/6 of the main lifting speed to be achieved. A 4-pole hoist motor used in connection with a
frequency inverter enables a variable lifting speed to be achieved with a control ratio of up to 1/25.

4.2.2 Travel drive


The standard travel drive is an inverter-controlled motor with a cylindrical squirrel-cage rotor. This motor is either
equipped with an integrated brake (compact brake), which does not needs to be controlled, or with a DC brake
with separate control. The DC double-sided brake can be separately controlled and is released by means of an
electromagnet. The brake is applied when no power is supplied to the magnet coil.

4.2.3 Gearbox/rope reeving components

The hoist gearbox is a three-stage helical gearbox. The hoist gearbox transfers the motor torque to the rope
drum.
211 395 44/170619

24
4.3 Geared limit switch
The geared limit switch (see section  "Geared limit switches ", Page 42) is installed in the foot flange of Demag
DMR modular rope hoists.

4.4 Control system and control pendant


The control pendant is an integral part of the control system as ordered.
Refer to the relevant operating/assembly instructions:
● ContactorControl operating instructions (with OWL load detector)  211 377 44
● SafeControl operating instructions  211 809 44

6.4 Connecting the electric equipment

6.4.1 Safety warnings

DANGER
Live components
Danger to life and limb.
All wiring and connection work may only be carried out by an instructed and qualified electrician according to the
specifications of the electric connection diagram included in the supply.

WARNING
Risk of injury if incorrectly assembled
Incorrect installation can result in severe injuries and/or damage to property.
This work may only be carried out by authorised, trained personnel who are familiar with the principle of opera‐
tion of the machine in compliance with all safety regulations.

6.4.2 Wiring

6.4.2.1 General
Each machine is provided with a circuit diagram showing details of the controls.
The wiring of Demag products complies in all respects with current DIN VDE and accident prevention regulations.
Please note that unauthorised intervention and modifications can result in infringement of these regulations.
The service life of the switchgear depends on usage.
Advise operators that,
– inching or flick-switching must be avoided.
Inching or flick-switching means giving short pulses to the motor to obtain small movements, e.g. when sus‐
pending loads. Inching or flick-switching can cause excessive wear and premature failure of the switchgear.
– corrosion on plastic and metal components in enclosed switchgear housings can be caused by too frequent
inching.
– corroded parts must be replaced in good time.

6.4.2.2 Connecting the control system


Refer to the relevant operating/assembly instructions:
● ContactorControl operating instructions (with OWL load detector)  211 377 44
● SafeControl operating instructions  211 809 44
● Assembly instructions for DMR without electric equipment  211 326 44
211 395 44/170619

6.4.2.3 Checking the direction of movement
The direction in which the DMR rope hoist moves depends on the phase sequence in the power supply line. The
load hook must move upwards when you press the “Lift” switch element on the control pendant.
If the direction of motion is not correct and the DMR is equipped with a ContactorControl system, two of the sup‐
ply cable conductors should be swapped over again to ensure that the emergency limit switches operate correct‐
ly.
If the phases are incorrectly connected on a DMR unit equipped with SafeControl, the control system will auto‐
matically switch the hoist motor motion off after it briefly starts up. Error code 38 appears on the display of the
DSE-10R control pendant or on the (optional) radio control.
– Check the top and bottom hook positions and, if necessary, adjust them accordingly (see section  "Geared
limit switches ", Page 42).

6.5 Rope reeving

6.5.1 Safety warnings

6.6.4 Geared limit switches

6.6.4.1 Safety warning

CAUTION
Risk of injury from falling parts
Danger to life and limb.
– Secure any parts that have been removed during maintenance and are not protected against falling to pre‐
vent them being dropped.
– Ensure that the working area is adequately fenced off.
– Ensure that nobody is present in the danger zone

CAUTION
Incorrect adjustment
Danger to life and limb.
Ensure that the minimum number of retaining windings are wound on the drum when setting the bottom hook
position.

6.6.4.2 Geared limit switch function


The geared limit switch is installed in the foot flange of Demag DMR modular rope hoists. It is used to limit the
upper and lower hook positions of the rope hoist as standard (emergency limit switch).
In general, the geared limit switch is provided with 4 contacts. The contacts are assigned in the factory as stated
in the order of the rope hoist.
The geared limit switch switches off the rope hoist when the top or bottom hook position is reached. The direction
of movement can be reversed. The emergency limit switch must not be approached in normal operation. The
emergency limit switches trigger the emergency-stop function.
A solution with an operating limit switch (optional) is required if the limit positions are approached regularly dur‐
ing normal operation.
In such cases, the switches must be adjusted so that the operating limit switch is actuated first and then, i.e. if this
fails to operate, the emergency limit switch is actuated. The operating limit switch only switches the hoist unit off.
Accident prevention regulations require that the crane operator checks the emergency limit switch before starting
work (see section  "Check the limit switches", Page 48).
211 395 44/170619

Please refer to the relevant circuit diagram for the functions performed by the geared limit switch.

Geared limit switch adjustment

1 2

43239444.eps

Fig. 23

1 "Block" adjusting screw


2 "Individual" adjusting screw

You need to remove the cover on the foot flange to make adjustments to the geared limit switch. Unscrew the four
M8x35 hexagon socket bolts.
A 4 mm hexagon socket key is needed to adjust the geared limit switch.
Operating principle
Each contact is allocated to a cam disc which is infinitely adjustable. The cam discs can be adjusted independent‐
ly by means of "individual" adjusting screws (2).
Adjustment
When “individual” adjusting screw (2) is turned clockwise, the cam disc is also turned clockwise. The switching
point is shifted upwards in accordance with the hook path.
When the screw is turned counter-clockwise, the switching point is shifted downwards. Standard cam discs are
designed in such a way that a maximum useful path and a run-on path are available.
Adjusting individual contacts (2)
The geared limit switch is already permanently connected to the control system via the system connector cable.
Move the load hook of the rope hoist into the specified cut-off position. Turn the "individual" adjusting screw until
the contact maker opens the contact to adjust the contacts.
If the run-on path is exceeded, the contact either opens or closes.

See also  "Set the cut-off points", Page 44


Adjusting blocks of contacts (1)
The contacts are adjusted in blocks by means of "block" adjusting screw (1). All cam discs are adjusted together,
while the relative adjustment of the individual contacts remains unchanged. When the "block" adjusting screw is
turned clockwise, the cam discs are also turned clockwise.
NOTE. For adjustment, please note:
● The geared limit switch is adjusted before leaving the factory to avoid complete unwinding of the rope, only.
● Approach cut-off points several times to check the limit switch functions are operating correctly.
211 395 44/170619

43
6.6.4.3 Set the cut-off points
The emergency limit switches must be properly adjusted to ensure that accidents are prevented and to avoid
damage to the rope hoist. The emergency limit switches are adjusted before leaving the factory to avoid complete
unwinding of the rope, only. Following installation of the rope hoist, they must be readjusted and checked for the
particular operating conditions.
If you want to set the maximum possible lifting height for your specific operating conditions, you must observe the
following:
● The emergency limit switch for the highest hook position must be set in such a way that hook dimension C is
reached when the emergency limit switch cuts off the lifting motion (see section  "Hook dimension C",
Page 19).
● The emergency limit switch for the lowest hook position must be set in such a way that the load hook does
not touch the floor.
The cut-off points of the geared limit switch have already been set to default values when the machine leaves our
factory.
If you want to set different cut-off points than those for the standard values, proceed as described in sections
 "Set the upper cut-off points", Page 44 and  "Set the lower cut-off points", Page 44.

6.6.4.4 Set the upper cut-off points


– Determine the cut-off points for the emergency limit switch and operating limit switch (optional) (see section
 "Hook dimension C", Page 19).
– Adjust the cut-off points on the geared limit switch (emergency limit switch and operating limit switch).
NOTE. Pay attention to function of the cut-off points
● Cut-off points must be adjusted in such a way that the operating limit switch (optional) is actuated first and
then, i.e. if this fails to operate, the emergency limit switch is actuated.
● Emergency limit switches must not be approached in normal operation.

– For standard equipment (without operating limit switch):


Adjust hook dimension C setting for the highest hook position. Determine the distance based on the tables
 "Hook dimension C", Page 19.
– For units fitted with emergency and operating limit switches (optional):
Set the upper emergency-stop cut-off point (emergency limit switch) in such a way that the permissible set‐
ting for hook dimension C is maintained when the lifting motion has been switched off by the emergency limit
switch (see section  "Hook dimension C", Page 19).

– Ensure that the working area is adequately fenced off.
– Ensure that nobody is present in the danger zone

Always:
– Wear any necessary protection equipment.
– Cordon off a sufficiently large area around the working zone.
– Disconnect the installation from the power supply and secure it against reconnection before starting work.
– Switch off the power supply at the mains connection or isolating switch. Check to ensure that the equipment
is de-energised.
– Ensure that there is sufficient freedom of movement.
– Parts of the body can be crushed when working on the machine. Secure the machine/machine parts against
unintended movement and work with the utmost care and caution.
– Ensure the working area is kept clean and tidy. Loose parts or tools left lying around can cause accidents.
– Re-install safety devices as required by relevant regulations after maintenance work is complete. Check the
safety devices for correct operation.
– Check the phase sequence if you have performed work on the electric equipment, especially the power sup‐
ply.

8.3 Spare parts


IMPORTANT. Incorrect or defective spare parts can cause damage, malfunctions or complete failure of the ma‐
chine.
● Only use genuine Demag spare parts or parts approved by the manufacturer.
● Use only genuine Demag spare parts for safety-relevant wearing parts. Examples: all parts driving the load,
rope guide, rope drum, gearbox, brake, motor, ...

Only genuine Demag spare parts may be used.


The use of unauthorised spare parts renders null and void any claims for warranty, service, damages or liability
against the manufacturer or his appointed personnel, dealers and representatives.

8.4 Routine inspections


The Demag DMR modular rope hoist must be inspected by an experienced technician at least once a year. Regu‐
lar inspections mainly consist of visual inspections and function checks which should include a check to determine
the condition of components and equipment regarding damage, wear, corrosion or other alterations and a check
to determine the integrity and efficiency of safety devices.
It may be necessary to remove parts in order to inspect wearing parts.
Load-bearing media and suspensions must be inspected along their entire length, including those parts which
cannot normally be seen. A function and brake test with a load (test load = maximum permissible load capacity)
must be carried out.
NOTE. Updating the log book: the owner must arrange for all inspections to be carried out and documented in
the hoist or crane log book.

8.7 Replacement criteria for the wire rope

8.7.1 Safety warning

CAUTION
Risk of injury
Risk of injuring fingers/hands on sharp edges and strands of the wire rope when working with wire rope.
– Always wear protective gloves when working with wire rope.

8.7.2 General
The following information on the assessment and maintenance of wire ropes has been compiled on the basis of
German, European and international standards as well as relevant trade literature and is to be regarded only as
the most significant information that is not intended to be complete, but to help the owner of a Demag rope hoist
to become familiar with “Replacement criteria for wire ropes”.
Furthermore, all national standards, regulations or any legislation of other countries must be fulfilled and consid‐
ered together with the above information or they take priority, as applicable.
NOTE. Assessment of the replacement criteria for wire ropes requires experience and expert knowledge. The
replacement criteria for your rope can be assessed and the rope can be replaced by Demag service engineers
or an authorised specialist company.

You must wear thick gloves and work with utmost care to avoid injures when inspecting the wire rope.
A visual check must always be carried out over the entire length of the rope, including points which cannot nor‐
mally be seen, critical points must be inspected with particular care and attention.
In order to discover broken wires more easily, the load must be removed from the hoist and the wire rope must be
bent manually along its entire working length. The bending radius should be approximately the same as the rope
sheave radius.
A wire rope must be discarded when its condition is no longer considered to be safe for continued operation:
211 395 44/170619

● If there are any structural changes, such as swelling, loosening.

59
The installation must be stopped immediately if this type of damage occurs.
● When the number of visible broken load-carrying wires in the external strands at the worst spot has reached
the following figures, counted over a reference length of rope of 6 times or 30 times the rope diameter,
whichever gives the worst result (see section  "Replacement criteria", Page 60).
Critical points, for example, include:
1. Rope zones subject to the highest number of alternating bending cycles and in particular to alternating de‐
flection. This also applies to rope zones on compensating sheaves which are subject to a very high number
of reversed bending cycles due to rope swing or uneven winding on rope drums. These rope sections show
increased abrasion and a higher number of broken wires.
2. The zones in which loads are picked up, i.e. rope zones which are on a rope sheave at a preferred load pick-
up point or rope zones which are wound onto or off a rope drum.
3. Rope anchorages that subject the wire rope to a load in addition to normal tensile load. Vibrations in the tran‐
sition area and moisture penetrating into the rope anchorage result in corrosion and broken wires.
4. Rope zones on rope drums. The load pick-up point on the rope drum is subject to increased wear (abrasion,
broken wires and/or structural changes).
5. Rope zones exposed to aggressive media, general weather conditions or high temperatures. Observe the
manufacturer’s specifications for the wire rope and the lubricant to be used.

● The cross-section of the rope groove must not be less than the specified minimum dimension tmin at any posi‐
tion.
● Negative impressions in the rope groove root must not exceed the specified maximum dimension.
● The cross-section of the rope groove must not be less than the specified minimum dimension tmin of the flange
plate thickness at any position.

The specified dimensions for negative impressions in the rope groove root are guide values for the condition of
the sheave when the rope is due to be replaced. If the values are reached or exceeded, the sheave should be
replaced or re-machined. The minimum wall thicknesses must be maintained. If the sheave develops negative im‐
pressions during the service life of a wire rope, the sheave does not need to be replaced, since ideal contact con‐
ditions for that rope will have developed.

8.17 General overhaul (GO)
8.17.1 Safety warning

WARNING
Operating safety at risk
Any failure to comply with the intervals for a general overhaul can result in serious injury or death.
Specified general overhaul intervals must be strictly complied with.

8.17.2 Procedure for general overhaul


The owner is obliged to carry out a general overhaul when the theoretical duration of service is reached (see sec‐
tion  "Regular inspections", Page 13).
When 90% of the theoretical duration of service has elapsed – after 8 to 10 years if the hoist is correctly classified
– the owner must arrange for a GO general overhaul to be carried out.
A GO general overhaul must be carried out by the end of the theoretical duration of service.
NOTE. The general overhaul may be carried out by Demag expert engineers or an authorised specialist compa‐
ny.
● The general overhaul carried out by the manufacturer or a specialist company authorised by him satisfies the
requirement to be met for continued operation of the machine.

During the general overhaul, the following parts must be replaced in addition to the checks and work specified in
the inspection and maintenance schedule:
● Gear wheels of the gearbox
● Gearbox bearings
● Motor
● Rope drum
● Gear oil
● Connecting elements
● Switchgear in the control system
The small parts (screws, washers ...) to be replaced when maintenance and assembly work is carried out are not
listed separately.
Therefore, the provisions of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) are satisfied.
The equipment may continue to be used when an expert engineer has entered the conditions for continued opera‐
tion in the log book. Completion of the general overhaul must be confirmed in the log book and a further period of
utilisation in accordance with FEM 9.755 must be entered.
