Electric overhead traveling cranes or EOT cranes are a common type of overhead crane, also called bridge cranes. They consist of parallel runways, much akin to rails of a railroad, with a traveling bridge spanning the gap. [1] EOT cranes are specifically powered by electricity.
The busbar's material composition and cross-sectional size determine the maximum current it can safely carry. Busbars can have a cross-sectional area of as little as 10 square millimetres (0.016 sq in), but electrical substations may use metal tubes 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter or more as busbars.
Enclosure comparison with normal wiring & with busbar system. Electrical busbar systems [1] (sometimes simply referred to as busbar systems) are a modular approach to electrical wiring, where instead of a standard cable wiring to every single electrical device, the electrical devices are mounted onto an adapter which is directly fitted to a current carrying busbar.
The most commonly used overhead hoist is electrical powered with wire rope or chain as the lifting medium. [2] Both wire rope and chain hoist have been in common use since the 1800s, however mass production of electric hoists did not start until the early 1900s and was first adapted by Germany .
1830: First Crane company in Germany, Ludwig Stuckenholz company. [3]1840: Mass production of overhead cranes starts in Germany. 1854: Sampson Moore & Co in Liverpool, England patents a new winch mechanism that allowed the lifting of heavier weights (such as naval guns) by an electric motor.
American Crane Corporation is an American manufacturer of construction cranes based in Wilmington, North Carolina. It manufacturers lattice boom crawler cranes with capacities ranging from 50 to 275 tons. The American Crane Corporation was founded in 1882 as the Franklin Manufacturing Company, and in 1892 the name changed to American Hoist ...
5000 ampere copper and 4000 A aluminium bus ducts. In electric power distribution, a bus duct (also called busway) typically uses sheet metal, welded metal [1] or cast resin to contain and isolate copper or aluminium busbars for the purpose of conducting a substantial current of electricity.
Working the grab requires extra cables from the crane jib, so requires a specialised design of crane throughout, not merely an attachment. Some grabs use 2 cables for lift and control, others use 4. In 1927, Stothert & Pitt of Bath, Somerset produced the first specialised bulk-handling crane. [1] This was to unload coal at Barking power station ...
