Technical Guide Overview
This document is a technical guide for EUROBLOC hoisting equipment, detailing specifications, procedures, and standards for various components such as travelling motors, gears, rope reeving components, and hoisting ropes. The guide is proprietary to Verlinde S.A. and is intended for internal use only.
Travelling Motors
The travelling motors are equipped with IP55 protection, tropical impregnation, and bi-metal over-temperature switches. The motors are controlled by inverters and have self-circulating ventilation. Key specifications include motor voltage options of 400V and 460V, with frequencies of 96Hz and 110Hz. The motors have a synchronous speed of up to 3300 rpm and a brake torque of 16 Nm.
Gears
The hoisting gearboxes feature three reduction steps with helical gearing, specifically designed for hoists. The travelling machinery gear includes various gear codes and types, with ratios ranging from 22 to 115, depending on the machinery type.
Rope Reeving Components
The rope reeving system is designed for true vertical lift with six configurations available. The rope drum data specifies rope diameters and drum diameters for different trolley types, ensuring compliance with FEM, EN, and CMAA standards. Rope guarding includes overwrap protection and slack rope supervision.
Load Measuring
The hoisting trolley is equipped with a strain gauge type load sensor for overload protection. Calibration of the MT2 condition monitoring unit is required during commissioning.
Rope Reeving Properties
The document outlines maximum rope angles for different winch configurations and the angular arrangement of rope sheaves to reduce wear. Safety factors for ropes are specified according to EN, FEM, and CMAA standards, with detailed rope type recommendations for various duty codes.
Hoisting Rope
Rope safety factors are detailed according to different standards, with specific rope types recommended for various hoisting trolley series. The document provides a comprehensive overview of rope types, including strength grades and maximum breaking loads (MBL).
Materials and Bearings Overview
The document provides a detailed list of materials used in the construction of hoisting trolleys, including fabrication methods, materials, and finishing standards. Key materials include various types of steel, cast iron, and aluminum, with specific standards like EN10025 and EN1563 mentioned. The document also outlines the types of bearings used, such as deep groove ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings, along with their lubrication and sealing types.
Surface Treatment
The standard painting system for load-carrying and outfitting steel parts is described, adhering to the SFS-EN ISO 12944-5 standard. The process includes preliminary treatment, priming, and finishing with epoxy paints, achieving a total paint thickness of 120 µm for wet paint and 100 µm for powder coating. Color codes for various components are specified, with RAL codes provided for different parts.
Electrical Components
An overview of the electrical layout for the hoisting trolley is provided, listing components such as terminal boxes, motors, brakes, encoders, and limit switches. The document details the hoisting limits, including ultimate safety limits and slow-down limits, with specific configurations for different operational scenarios.
Bridge Panel and Standard Features
The bridge panel product code and its components are outlined, including hoisting motor connections, trolley travel control, and panel size. Standard features of the bridge cubicle row are described, including size, painting, and configuration of control, inverter, and resistor cubicles. Operational functions, environmental conditions, and options for customization are also mentioned.
Technical Specifications
The document outlines the specifications for SHR-End and GTR-End carriages, which are types of bogie carriages used in crane systems. These carriages are part of the EUROBLOC series by Verlinde S.A.
Control Systems
The crane can be operated using either a movable pendant or a radio control system. The movable pendant is connected via a festoon electrification system, while the radio control, known as EUROMOTE H, offers an optional backup pendant that connects directly to the bridge panel without needing a festoon system.
Festoon Systems
The festoon system is designed for hoisting trolley components and includes flat cables for power supply and controls, as well as cable trolleys. The type of cable trolley used depends on the hoist type and features. However, the festoon package does not include power supply rail fixing, C-rails, support arms, I-beams, or internal crane cables such as those for bridge travel motors or limit switches.
