What are the loads considered when designing the Nut and Bolts

Shear Loads & crushing loads

The Design of crane parameters are:

1. Maximum Load
2. Span of the crane
3. Height from Floor to Gantry Rail Level
4. Class of work of the crane
5. Headroom
6. End clearance
7. Operating Speeds Under Loaded Condition

Maximum Load:

The maximum load in tons is the customer’s requirement and must be specified clearly. Design of almost all the components of the crane are influenced by this parameter. In some cases it is necessary to arrange for a second hoisting machinery called the auxiliary hoist, to lift a much lighter load. If the load at which the crane is operated in general is considerably less than the maximum load, an auxiliary hoist may be used. Cranes used for power plant maintenance is an example of such cases where auxiliary hoist may be fitted. For an entirely different reason auxiliary hoist may be fitted with cranes used for foundries, steel casting shop handling ladles containing molten metal. In these industries the main hoist of the crane is used for hoisting the ladle containing the molten metal, while the auxiliary hoist is used to lift the ladle very slowly to pour the liquid in the mould.

An auxiliary hoist machinery consists of a completely separate hoist mechanism built on a second crab which may run either above or below the crab of the main hoist. The auxiliary hoist is generally of much less capacity than the main hoist.

Span of the Crane:

The distance between the centre to centre of the gantry rails over which the wheels of the bridge run. The section of the gantry rails should also be specified for the design of the wheels of the bridge.

Height from Floor to Gantry Rail Level:

To arrange for the correct height of lift this parameter should be specified. If the crane is required to lift out of pits or from below the floor level, particulars should be specified.

Class of Work of the crane:

For the purpose of design of their frames, every crane and hoist is classified with respect to the frequency of application, variation of magnitude of the load and the effect of impact.

Cranes are divided into four classes.

Light duty cranes come under class I type.

Heaviest duty crane are class 4 type.

Light duty and Heavy duty cranes are discerned by the working period, effective load and dynamic effect. It should be remembered that this classification is applicable to the entire crane and the structure.

The working period is short if the crane is operated for less than 500 hours per year. The effective load is high if the crane is used to lift loads greater than two third of its safe working load on more than one thousand occasions per year.

The dynamic effect may be considered low if the speed of travelling of both crab and bridge or hoist are each less than 100 m per minute. If the speed of operation is higher than this the dynamic effect is high.

Headroom:

The clear height available from the gantry rail level to the lowest overhead obstruction is called the head room. This should be specified by the customer. The height of the hoisting machinery over the crab should not foul with the structural obstruction.

End Clearance:

The distance from the centre of gantry rail horizontally to the nearest obstruction on either side is called the end clearance.

Operating speeds under Loaded Condition:

The operating speeds in m/min for the main hoist, auxiliary hoist, cross traverse and long travel should usually be specified by the customer. When there are no special requirements, the speeds will follow the usual standard practice for the size of crane under consideration.

Apart from the above mentioned important parameters the customer should also specify the following particulars:

• Electrical details like the type (AC or DC),
• Voltage,
• Number of phase,
• Frequency,
• Electrical control,

Whether the control is to be in operator’s cabin for hand operation, or whether from floor by means of pendant.

EOT Crane Parts:

OT crane consists of two distinct parts

• 1. Bridge
• 2. Crab

  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 main runners or wheels (four or more) which provide the longitudinal motion to the main bridge along the length of the workshop. The motion of the bridge is derived from an electric motor which is geared to a shaft running across the full span of the bridge and further geared to a wheel at each end. In some design separate motors may be fitted at each corner of the main bridge. The wheels run on two heavy rails fixed above the floor level along the length of the shop on two girders, called gantry girder.

  Crab:

  The Crab consists of the hoisting machinery mounted on a frame, which is in turn mounted on at least four wheels and fitted with suitable machinery for traversing the crab to and fro across the main girders of the crane bridge. Needless to mention that the crab wheels run on two rail sections fixed on the top flange of the main bridge. Thus the load hook has three separate motions, these being the hoisting, cross traverse of the crab, and longitudinal travel of the whole crane. Each motion is controlled independently of the other motions by separate controllers situated in a control cage or in a suitable position for controlling from the floor by pendent chains.

  The essential parts are:

  

  1. Bridge– 2 No’s
  2. End carriage– 2 No’s
  3. Wheel of the bridge– At least 4 No’s
  4. Crab (without auxiliary hoist)– 1 No’s
  5. Hoisting machinery set– 1 No’s
  6. Wheels of crab– At least 4 No’s
  7. Bottom Block (without auxiliary hoist)– 1 No’s
  8. Lifting hook– 1 No’s
  9. Rail on the gantry girder for crane movement– 2 No’s
  10. Rail on the bridge for crab movement– 2 No’s
  11. Operators cabin– 1 No’s

What is the abbreviation of Welding rod 7018?

What VVTi written on new cars of Toyota stands for

VVTi : Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence. It is the advanced version of the VVT engine. It changes the cam shaft position by using oil pressure. It is similar to CVVT in Hyundai

What is ATFT Technology used in Honda Hunk?

ATFT means Advance Tumble Flow Induction Technology,
Tumble flow means swirling. In this technology fuel air mixture from the carburator into the engine cylinder with a swirl action. The advantage being one gets a more efficient burning of fuel hence more power and better fuel economy with lesser emissions.

What is DTSi Technology?

DTSI stands for Digital Twin Spark Plug Ignition. The vehicles with DTSI Technology use 2 spark plugs which are controlled by digital circuit. It results in efficient combustion of air fuel mixture.

• Digital - Since the spark generation will be initiated by a microchip.
• Twin - Since two spark plugs will be used.
• Spark ignition - Since the ignition will be done via a spark.
