Crane Description and Operation and Maintenance

 A large, tall machine is used for moving heavy objects by suspending them from a projecting arm or beam.

1.   Wall mounted cranes

2.   Gantry cranes

3.   One leg Gantry cranes                                             

4.   Jib cranes

5.   Mobile cranes

a.    Truck mounted cranes

b.   Crawler crane

c.    Tyre mounted crane

d. Loco Crane


The following factor to be considered while lifting load

•      About the load

•      Where the load will be shifted

•      Method to be adopted

1.   Manual handling

2.   Mechanical handling

•      About the operator

•      About the Supervisor

•      About the load

1.   Weight of the item

2.   Dimension

3.   Special instruction if any

4.   Hazardous/ Danger involved

PREACUTION TO BE TAKEN DURING MAINTENANCE:-

The crane must be moved to a location with at least interface with other crane/equipment or operator

All the controllers must be off position LOTO to be applied

Warning sign crane under maintenance.

Rail stopper to be provided.     

Crane must not take into operation if the guards are not put properly.

Types of Bearing using in wind turbines

 Types of bearings using in Wind Turbines       Bearings : These bearings can support extremely heavy loads at slow speeds. They allow the transmission of both axial and radial forces, as well as accommodating tilting moments. Generally types bearing used in wind turbines are 1.Slew ring bearing for Using for Blade pitching and yawing purpose 2. Ball bearing for Generator DE & NDE side 3. Spherical roller bearing for Main bearing  4. Cylinder roller and tappered roller bearing for Gearbox internal shafts. 1. Slewing ring bearings are generally used in the pitch and yaw locations of a wind turbine, to enable the blades to rotate smoothly. These bearings can support extremely heavy loads at slow speeds. They allow the transmission of both axial and radial forces, as well as accommodating tilting moments. 2. Ball bearings are used in machines which have lot of movement in their working process. Ball bearings reduce the friction during motion,so that effic...

                         Gear box oil Analysis and oil testing importance              Oil analysis is not just about telling us when oil has bad condition and also tells us as proactive measures to monitoring antioxidant additive concentrations should generate activities. Despite being designed to be highly reliable, they bring about disruption and incurred costs when they wear or break due to contamination or poor operation. Oil analysis helps in detecting the developing failure conditions, and fundamentally, a majority of the gear manufacturers recommend condition monitoring, including oil analysis. Coming to oil analysis we have to consider below mentioned points.                                            1.      Viscosity: - Viscosity is the resistanc...
