Design of EOT Crane
What is EOT Crane ?
Electric Overhead Travelling Crane or EOT Cranes are electrically operated by a control pendant, or from an operator cabin attached to the crane itself. EOT crane is one of the most commonly used type of overhead cranes in various factories.
What is full form of EOT Crane ?
Full form of EOT Crane is Electric overhead Travelling crane which are electrically operated by a control pendant or from an operator cabin attached to the crane itself. This EOT Crane are also called as Bridge crane.
Types of EOT Crane
There are various types of EOT crane in industry are discuss below.
- Based on number of cross-girder
- Single girder EOT Crane
- Double girder EOT Crane
2. Based on nature of running
- Top running EOT Crane
- Under running EOT Crane
What is Crab in EOT Crane ?
Crab in EOT Crane is nothing but also called as trolley. This lifting crab of EOT crane is independent two motion machine & consits of hoist machine built in the frane. Which is mounted on runner wheels and driven by a motor through a suitable bearing function of crab is to provide cross travel motion to the hoisting machinery along length of main bridge crane. Motion of crab is drive from electric motors. Speed reduction gearbox & a brake are the main component of crab gearing. The entire hoisting machinery is mounted on crab.
What is span in EOT Cranes ?
Most important measurement you can provide during on overhead crane consultation is crane's span. It is important because it determine how much material required to built bridge girder. The crane span is measured by center-to-center distance between the runway beams.
Numerical on Design of EOT Crane :
Q - Design of hoisting mechanism for the following specification
- Lifting capacity = 150kN
- Hoisting speed = 8m/min
- Max lift = 10m
- Class = II
