4 Technical description

4.1 Design
The friction wheel with HydroPUR tyre is driven via a gearbox and electric motor.
The gearbox of the DRF 200 is a 3-stage spur wheel gearbox. The gearbox housing is designed in such a way
that it can be fitted direct to the relevant trolleys.
The motor shaft features a tapered opening. The pinion bonded into the tapered opening transfers the motor tor‐
que to the gearbox.

4.2 Motor
The drive is an electric motor. The equipment is designed in accordance with the VDE regulations. The type of
enclosure is IP 55. Refer to the relevant motor operating instructions for further details.

4.3 Trolley
The trolley has been specially developed as a tractor trolley for the
DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive.
The drive unit has been developed as a component particularly for I-
beam girders and box-section girders that have parallel flanges for
flange thicknesses from 10 mm to 30 mm. The flange width range from
82 mm to 300 mm (100 mm - 300 mm for travel on curved tracks) is
covered by load bar pins on four different lengths; fine adjustment can
be achieved by means of spacer rings.
The trolley has only one polyamide travel wheel on each side to ensure
that the unit can travel on curved tracks and to enable transfer to a gra‐
dient radius.
Lateral guidance of the trolley on the girder section is ensured by by
two polyamide guide rollers on each trolley side cheek.

Fig. 5

Tilting of the trolley caused by acceleration and braking is prevented by anti-tilt rollers. A certain amount of play is,
however, necessary in order to avoid positive guidance. The special design of the deep-drawn side cheek en‐
sures that the trolley has both an anti-derailment feature as well as an integral drop stop.
The use of a guide arm for travel on curved tracks enables the trolley to travel through a horizontal curve radius of
approx. 800 mm and a vertical gradient radius of approx. 2000 mm.
The maximum travel speed in both horizontal and vertical curves must not exceed 10 m/min. For curve-negotiat‐
ing trolleys, we recommend the use of a pole-changing motor and selection of the lower speed for travel on
curved track.
In this case, the anti-tilt guide rollers are not fitted in the trolley side cheek. The function of these rollers is then
provided by the anti-tilt guide rollers of the curve travel guide arm.

4.4 Runway
Item Designation
A) Hatched areas with primer coat only
Tab. 12

WARNING
Overload
Danger to life and limb if the trolley is subjected to an
overload.
The load capacity of the hoist unit must not exceed the
load capacity of the trolley.

When selecting a track, we recommend you specify the special profile


sections (see  "Trolley for KBK crane construction kit", Page 20) of
our Demag KBK crane construction kit. They are characterised by their
low deadweight. The cold-rolled track sections feature a smooth run‐
ning surface and offer the advantage of simple power supply by means
of trailing cables or integrated conductor lines.
I-beam girders and box-section girders that have parallel flanges can al‐
so be used tracks.

Fig. 6

In the interest of good travel characteristics, we recommend the use of much larger curve radii, see  Tab. 13,
Page 19.
● Wear of the travel wheels is highly dependent on the curve radius. The force required to move the load may
be much higher on small curve radii in connection with heavy loads.
● The travel wheels and guide rollers may display increased wear in installations featuring intensive operation.

Displacement between the rails and gaps at the joint must be avoided. Any displacement between the rails should
be ground flat, if required.
I-beam tracks should be bent with the utmost care to obtain an even and regular curve. Ready-made curved sec‐
tions are available for our special track.
Travel on I-beam tracks must in no way be obstructed by protruding suspension pins, bolt heads, clamping plates
and butt straps, etc. These types of obstruction can be avoided by using our special track section.
In unclean environments, the running surface of the track should be cleaned regularly and should be free of oil
and grease.
Resilient buffers should be mounted at the level of the travel wheel axle at the ends of tracks to prevent the trolley
from derailing (see  "Buffer fitting", Page 21).
The running surfaces of rails and for friction wheel travel drives on crane girders and runways must only be given
a primer coat of 40 µ in the area of the wheels, see (A)  Fig. 6, Page 19. Travel characteristics would be im‐
paired by a top coat.

Tab. 14

DRF 200 friction wheel travel drives transmit the output of the travel motor, which is specially developed for the
crane construction kit, via a spring-mounted friction wheel to the bottom flange of KBK rails. The wide friction
wheel should be used for KBK II, and the narrow friction wheel for KBK III. DRF 200 mounting components can be
relocated to vary the position of the spring assembly and motor as required. Contactor control and timed mechani‐
cal braking, or timed mechanical braking elements in the control pendant are required if pole-changing travel
drives are used.

4.6 Link bar


Two different lengths of link bar are available to connect the tractor trolley to the load trolley, see also the "KBK
classic technical data" document  Tab. 2, Page 2.
The short link bar (l = 130 mm) is sufficient for straight travel, the long link bar (l = 270 mm) is required for travel
on curved tracks. The long link bar is available for travel on horizontal curve radii up to R = 800 mm and there is a
second bar for travel on radii up to R = 2000 mm.

4.7 Load bar


The tractor trolley can also be used as a load trolley when a load bar is used. Load and tractor trolleys are availa‐
ble in variants for travel on straight and curved tracks.
The load bar pin is retained on the trolley by a load bar and distance sleeve that corresponds to the flange width.

The load bar (see  "Load bar", Page 31) is suitable for attaching a DC 1 or DC 2 chain hoist. The maximum
permissible safe working load of the load trolley is 270 kg for non-guided loads which are allowed to swing freely.

4.8 Disengaging device
The counterweight is used to manually relieve the pre-tension of the
dished washer stack.
The trolley and drive can be pushed along the track by hand when the
tension on the dished washer stack is released.

Tab. 15

Bore holes are provided on the end surfaces of the trolley side cheeks to attach a rail for the buffer fitting. Various
types of buffer or different buffer sizes can be bolted to the middle of this rail, see also "Cellular foam buffer tech‐
nical data" document  Tab. 2, Page 2.
The buffer must be attached to a trolley for travel on curved tracks on the opposite side to that of the curve travel
guide arm. A fitted buffer may collide with the track when the trolley travels through a gradient radius. In this case,
we recommend fitting the buffer to the end of the track as a stationary buffer. The impact with the stationary buffer
is then absorbed via the rail section on the trolley.

4.10 Power supply lines

Fig. 10 Example of a current collector arrangement on a DRF 200 trolley

Power supply is provided via a specially developed current collector system.


The DEL current collector system is suitable for travel through horizontal and vertical curves in the specified per‐
mitted radius range.
The DCL current collector profile is suitable for travel through horizontal curves. The minimum permitted radius for
this system depends on the enclosure material and the conductor cross-section.
Power supply for travel along straight tracks can also be provided by a trailing cable.
The current collector bracket and/or current collector tube can be bolted to the trolley using the corresponding
bore holes in the side cheek.
Limit switches and proximity switches can be attached to the trolley using a C-rail.

For further information on DEL, DCL and DKK power supply lines, the trailing cable and the C-rail, see  Tab. 2,

214 395 44/120914

Danger to life and limb.


Work on electric equipment may only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel ( "Definition of person‐
nel", Page 6) in compliance with the safety regulations.

23
Switch off the electric power supply before starting work. The mains connection or isolating switch must be pro‐
tected against unauthorised or accidental restoration of the power supply by means of a padlock.

Mechanical safety
All bolted connections must be correctly tightened.
Self-locking nuts must not be replaced by other types of nut. Self-locking nuts must be replaced when they have
been tightened and untightened five times. The clamping torque of a self-locking nut must not be lower than the
loosening torque specified by EN ISO 2320.
A sufficiently secure connection can only be guaranteed by tightening to the specified tightening torque.
Bolted connections must not be lubricated as otherwise the specified tightening torque values will be too high.
Check to ensure that pin connections are correctly fitted.
All assembly work must be completed in accordance with the assembly instructions. Operation with defective or
damaged DRF 200 friction wheel travel drives results in a high risk of accidents with personal injuries and dam‐
age to the installation and is, therefore, strictly prohibited.
Any change or modification which prejudices safety must be reported to the nearest person responsible immedi‐
ately. Repairs may only be carried out by experienced technicians.
Ensure that all attachment points are freely accessible for inspections and servicing or that free access can be
provided.
Protective earth conductor
The protective earth conductor in insulated leads and cables must be coloured green and yellow along its entire
length.
The protective earth conductor must not be connected to mounting bolts or screws.
Protective earth connections must be protected against accidental loosening (e.g. by using serrated lock washers
to DIN 6798). It must be possible to disconnect each individual connection.
Protective earth conductors must not carry any current in normal operation.
The same number of protective earth connection points must be provided as electric power infeed and outfeed
points.
Continuity of the PE conductor connection must be checked.
Mains connection switch
A mains connection switch must always be provided for the mains power supply line to the installation. The mains
connection switch must be arranged to disconnect all poles of your hoist unit from the mains supply.
Ensure that the mains connection switch is installed in an easily accessible position in the vicinity of your hoist
unit and that it is clearly marked.
Isolating switch
If two or more lifting appliances are fed from a common supply line, each one should be provided with an isolating
switch. This makes it possible to carry out maintenance work on individual units, without affecting operation of the
rest of the system.
Power supply line
The power supply line/cable to be used depends on the motor size, see the "Key motor data" section.

8.4 Maintenance work
8.4.1 Oil lubrication
General information on oil lubrication
Under normal operating conditions, the lubricant must be changed after 10000 hours of service. The lubricant
should, however, be changed at least every 4 years.
Under exceptional operating conditions, e.g. high ambient temperatures, we recommend that the oil should be
changed at shorter intervals.
Oil change
Drain the old oil at operating temperature.
To do this, first remove the air vent screw at the top of the gearbox and then the plug at the bottom, and the oil will
run out.
For each oil change, we recommend that the gearbox is filled and flushed with oil of the same viscosity.
The flushing oil should have a viscosity of 46 – 68 mm2/s at 40° C. The quantity of flushing oil used should be
approximately twice that specified for lubrication. Switch the motor on and allow the gears to run without any load
for a few minutes and then drain the flushing oil. Repeat this operation several times, also in alternate directions
of rotation, to ensure that all remains of the old lubricant are drained together with the flushing oil. Refer to the
data plate on the friction wheel travel drive for the required quantity of oil.
Oil grades
For ambient temperatures of approx. -10 °C to +50 °C, a gear oil of 220 mm2/s at 40 °C with mild high-pressure
additives should be used, DIN 51502 CLP 220, e.g. BP ENERGOL GR-XP 220, Esso Spartan EP 220, SHELL
Omala oil 220, Mobilgear 630 or Aral Degol BG 220.
At higher or lower ambient temperatures, the type of oil used should be adapted to the specific conditions.

Required oil quantity 0,7 l Order no.

8.4.2 Grease lubrication

General information on grease lubrication


If the gearbox is filled with grease, we recommend that this should be changed after 10000 hours of service. The
grease should, however, be changed at least every 4 years.
Grease change
Open the gearbox and clean it thoroughly with commercially available cleaning agent. Subsequently fill the hous‐
ing with fresh grease. The required quantity of grease is specified on the gearbox data plate.
Grease quality
For ambient temperatures of approx. -10 °C to +50 °C, a low-viscosity gear grease with a dripping point of approx.
150 °C and a worked penetration of 380 to 430 1/10 mm should be used, DIN 51502 GP 00F, e.g. BP Energrease
HT EP 00, SHELL special low-viscosity gear grease H, Esso Fibrax EP 370 or Aralub FD 00.

Required grease quantity 0,9 kg Order no.

8.4.3 Brake
8.4.3.1 General

DANGER
Inappropriate maintenance work
Danger to life and limb. Risk of material damage.
Check brake air gap s1 at certain intervals and adjust it, as required.
If the brake is not adjusted, it will no longer release after further wear. If the motor then operates against the
applied brake, the brake and motor may be damaged.

Apart from wear, the brake is virtually maintenance-free.


The organic/mineral brake lining is designed in such a way that worn surface particles are only given off as mini‐
mal abrasion. This built-in regeneration of the brake lining surface ensures that the braking characteristics remain
constant. To ensure the brake releases reliably, air gap s1 must be regularly checked and adjusted, as required.

Brake air gap s1min = 0,35 mm - s1max = 1,2 mm

The brake disc can be freely turned when the brake is released (power applied to brake coil).

Remaining thickness b min 5 6
Adjusting angle α1 120° 120°
Tab. 27

When the brake has been adjusted several times, the remaining thickness bmin of the brake disc must be checked.
The guide pins feature an easily visible mark (x) which clearly indicates the minimum dimension. The brake rotor
must be replaced when this mark is exceeded. A maintenance and spare parts set is available to do this.
The air gap must be adjusted when the max. permissible value s1 has been reached, (however, immediately if the
brake no longer releases).

For DRF units fitted with KBF motors, see "KBA, KBF motor assembly instructions"  Tab. 2, Page 2.
