Crane electrical equipment: maintenance

Crane electrical equipment: maintenance

Crane electrical equipment operates in a special mode of frequent starts, reverses and braking. This places high demands on engines and their maintenance. Let's look at the specifics of crane electrical equipment.

Features of crane motors

  • Intermittent duty (S3–S5) with frequent starts.
  • Reverses and braking - high dynamic loads.
  • Special series (MTF, MTH) with wound rotor.
  • Presence of a braking system.

Typical faults

ProblemCause
Overheating of the windingFrequent starts, overload
Wear of contact ringsOperating mode
Bearing wearVibration, loads
Brake failureWear of linings

Maintenance

  1. Monitoring the condition of brushes and slip rings.
  2. Checking and adjustment brakes.
  3. Measurement of insulation resistance.
  4. Control of bearings and lubrication.

Crane motors require higher grade insulation due to heating during frequent starts. When repair of crane motors heat-resistant materials are used. The safety of the crane depends on the health of the engine and brake, so regular diagnostics is important.
