The operating speed of crane includes three aspects:lifting speed, the trolley and cart traveling speed. And the factors that affect operating speed have many aspects. Actually, the effectiveness and efficiency of crane also reflects the quality and performance of equipment itself. Therefore, generally speaking, the equipment produced by formal manufactures has little problems in terms of product quality. Today, we will introduce the factors that influence the crane operating speed to you.
1.lifting speed and lifting weight
The medium and small lifting weight of crane choose the high speed to improve productivity, and big lifting weight of crane is suitable for the low speed to reduce the driving power and improve the stability and safety of operating. The operating speed also depends on working class and operating requirements. The crane with high working class, frequent usage and high productivity requirements choose the high speed, while the operating mechanism with low working class and is used for adjusting operation can choose the low speed. Cranes used only for equipment installation and maintenance should choose low speed but also adopt double speed(fast and low speed), micro speed or speed regulation as required.
2.Crane traveling distance
When crane runs a short distance, it is not suitable for adopting high speed to avoid that the brake will begin before not finishing the start. However, with the development of modern industry, the crane that do lots of reloading work increasingly adopts high speed. A lot of cranes that used to install and maintain adopt speed regulation. For some cranes with special functions, such as crane that used for workpiece quenching, there should be a rapid descend device. Large lifting height cranes should be appropriate improve the lifting speed, but also heavy load to use low speed, no load to use high speed or measures should be taken to adopt higher descending speed to improve the productivity.
In conclusion, the factors of crane’s operating speed are connected with the above aspects, if you want to know something more, welcome to contact with us.
