Working Principle of Single Beam Bridge Crane

Apr 16, 2024

The working principle of a single beam bridge crane is mainly to drive the main beam of the crane through an electric end beam. The electric hoist lifts the goods and moves them through the running track. The overall motion control of the crane is achieved through a control system. This working principle enables the bridge crane to lift and transport goods in a narrow space, improving work efficiency and safety.
1.Electric end beam drives the main beam of the crane. The main beam of the crane is the main load-bearing part of the crane. By using an electric end beam drive system, the main beam can move horizontally along the crane track. The electric end beam drive system usually consists of a three in one motor and a beam head. By controlling the operation of the motor, the movement of the main beam can be achieved.

2. The electric hoist lifts the goods. Cranes are usually equipped with electric hoists. It is a device used to lift and lift goods. The electric hoist drives the drum of the crane's steel wire rope through an electric motor, thereby achieving the lifting operation of goods. Electric hoists are usually equipped with limit switches and overload protection devices to ensure the safety of the lifting process.

3. Move along the track. Single beam bridge crane is usually installed on specific operating tracks and can move horizontally through the track crane.

4. The control system realizes motion control. The motion control of cranes is mainly achieved through control systems. The control system usually consists of an electrical control box, control buttons, sensors, and encoders. Operators can control the movement of the crane through control buttons. At the same time, sensors and encoders can monitor the position and motion status of the crane in real-time to ensure the safety and accuracy of the lifting process.
