Crane Terminologies

Crane terminology Crane terminology
The name for material handling The name for material handling
Demag Crane Terminology Crane terminology is the explanation related to to the cranes
The purpose is to make more understanding about basic crane.

So the people will able to communicate in crane language without
miss perceptions.

Building high Span
There must be a safety distance between the top edge of the crane Span is center to center between runway rails.
girder/bridge and the first obstacle edge in the building (example - Typically distance is approximate 500mm less than the width of
roof beam, light and pipes) the building. (span is in cross travel direction)

Run way Hook path
Run way
Hook path is the distance between hook maximum lifting

with the ground(or to the lowest positions,example tunnel).
Run way is the rail along long travel direction which the girder
attached.

Safe Working Load Girder

Basic hoist
End carriage
Crab Rubber
bumper
Bottom block
Pendan
Save working load (SWL) is the maximum permissible load including

attachment if any (example spreader) Girder is bridge between 2 run way rail which the crab and basic hoist
attached.

Rope reeving Rope reeving

Method of rope reeving
Rope reeving is how to make spooling between rope drum,
bottom sheave (bottom block), return sheave and compensating sheave
There are many kind of rope reeving method. The purpose of rope
reeving is to increase capacity of Save Working Load (SWL)
with the same hoist type.
Rope drum Return sheave Bottom sheave
In another word, SWL will be increased due to more reeving, but the
lifting speed will be decreased.
Compensating
Rope anchorage
sheave

Rope reeving Crane Duty

Method of rope reeving To determine crane duty regarding FEM group it is need the
following factors:
1.Load spectrum > Indicate the frequency of maximum and smaller

loading during examined time period.
2.Class of utilization > This is determine according to number of hoisting

cycles during life time of crane
Note:
Return sheave are fully rotate,
Compensating sheave only
compensating(a bit movement)

Crane Duty Load spectrum

Crane duty group are set of classification for defining the use of crane There are four group of crane load spectrum
1. Light duty
A crane duty tells which kind of duty crane is for,the range is from light
duty to very heavy duty
It is vital to define the needs and estimated the use because of safety
reasons and for to ensure a long working life for the crane
Demag crane are follow standard FEM group (Federations Europeene Hoist unit which are usually subject to very small load and in exceptional
de la Manutention) cases only to maximum load.

Load spectrum Load spectrum

There are four group of crane load spectrum There are four group of crane load spectrum
2. Medium duty 3. Heavy duty
Hoist unit which are usually subject to small load but rather often Hoist unit which are usually subject to medium loads but frequently
to maximum load. to maximum load

Load spectrum Class of utilization

There are four group of crane load spectrum To know the utilization class, we must know the operating time.
The formula for calculate operating time in hour are :
4. Very heavy duty
2 x average hook path x no of cycle per hour x working time per day
H= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
60 x lifting speed
H=Operating time per day in hours
Hoist unit which are usually subject to maximum or almost to No of cycle per hour= The total number of lifting and lowering per hour
maximum loads
Lifting speed = Maximum speed of hoisting (see manual data)
Average hook path = Average of maximum lifting

3
Class of utilization Class of utilization

Example to calculate operating hours per day Regarding the table, operating time 2.66 hour per day is 2 to 4 hours
range in class of utilization for light duty load spectrum.
Load spectrum = light So,the FEM group is 1Am
Lifting speed = 8 m/minute
Rope reeving = 2/1
Load spectrum operating hour per day .
Average hook path = 4 meter
1.Light up to 2 2-4 4-8 8-16 up to 16
No.of cycle per hour = 20
2.Medium up to 1 1-2 2-4 4-8 8-16
Working time per day = 8 hours
3.Heavy up to 0.5 0.5-1 1-2 2-4 4-8
4.Very heavy up to 0.025 0.025-0.5 0.5-1 1.2 2.4 .
2 x 4 x 20 x 8 Group of mechanism 1Bm 1Am 2M 3M 4M
Operating hour per day = ------------------ = 2.66 Hour to FEM
60 x 8

FEM group Duty type of motor

Most common duty type of motor are divide 4 group.
List of FEM group A.Continues duty
Full load FEM ISO
12.500 h 5m M8 For instance : The FEM group is
6.300 h 4m M7 2m, mean the crane must be
3.200 h 3m M6 carried out to general overhaul
1.600 h 2m M5 (GO) after 1600 full load operating hour
800 h 1Am M4
400 h 1Bm M3 The FEM group mostly related to
200 h 1Cm M2 mechanical side.
100 h 1Dm M1
The motor can be operated full time under load
Note : 1Am of FEM group are equal to M4 of ISO group

Duty type of motor Duty type of motor
B.Short time duty C.Periodic intermittent duty

The motor can be operated
under load with several idle time
(cooling time). Referring to 10
minutes period
The motor can be operated under load only at short time

Duty type of motor Duty type of motor

Example 1
D.Periodic intermittent duty with influence of starting time
The motor can be operated
under load with several idle time
(cooling time). Referring to 10
minutes period.
DH 200 with hoisting motor type KMH 100B2/8 have CDF 40% for
full speed(step2),and CDF 20% for slow speed(step1).
Meaning that at full speed the maximum motor run time is 4 minutes at
full load, and permissible to run another 4 minutes after cooling down
for 6 minutes. And for slow speed maximum run is 2 minutes and
need to cooling down 8 minutes before continue running another
2 minute.

Duty type of motor

Example 2
Motor KDF 63A2 has 100%CDF.

Meaning, the motor can be operated/run at any time without cooling time
