Crane Hook Nameplate

Crane Hook Nameplate

1. Product Name

2. Load Capacity:
The load capacity of a hook refers to its rated lifting capacity, which is the maximum mass allowed for a single lift under normal working conditions. It is measured in tons (t) or kilograms (kg).

3. Date of Manufacture

4. Self-Weight:
The self-weight of a C-type crane hook.

Crane Reducer Nameplate

Crane Reducer Nameplate

1. Model:
The model of a reducer typically comprises four parameters: the code, center distance, transmission ratio, and assembly type.
The code of a reducer is usually named by the manufacturer and may vary from one manufacturer to another. This code often reflects the reducer‘s specific functions, specifications, or applications.

600mm is the center distance of the reducer: Also known as the center height, it represents the height from the center of the output shaft to the base. Its main purpose is to provide precise positioning during the installation of the reducer.

46.7 is the transmission ratio of the reducer: This is the speed ratio of the reducer, indicating the ratio of the instantaneous input speed to the output speed, denoted by the symbol “i”. It represents the ratio of rotational speeds between the input and output shafts.

3 refers to the assembly type, i.e., the arrangement of the high-speed and low-speed shafts of the reducer.

2. Input Speed:
The rated speed of the electric motor, measured in revolutions per minute (r/min or RPM).

3. Power:
Rated power refers to the mechanical efficiency that can be output on the shaft of the reducer when operating under rated conditions. It is measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (KW).

4. Factory Number:
The product number is assigned by the manufacturer at the time of production. It is unique, and the manufacturer can access all information about the product through this device code.

5. Center Distance:
The center distance of the reducer: Also known as the center height, it represents the height from the center of the output shaft to the base. Its main purpose is to provide precise positioning during the installation of the reducer.

6. Weight:
The self-weight of the gearbox.

7.Manufacturing Date

 

 

Crane Brake Nameplate

Crane Brake Nameplate

1. Type:
The model of a crane brake typically consists of four parameters: the series code, brake wheel diameter, actuator code, and a code for additional features of the crane drum brake.
YWZ9 – Series code
400 – Brake wheel diameter (in mm)
E80 – Actuator code (For Ed actuator, the code is E; YT1 actuator is not marked)
S2 – Code for additional features of the crane brake

2. Braking Torque:
The braking torque of a crane brake refers to the torque or force moment generated by the brake during braking. In industrial applications like cranes, brakes are commonly used for decelerating and stopping equipment. The braking torque can be adjusted within the range of 630-1250 N.m.

3. Number:
The product number is assigned by the manufacturer at the time of production. It is unique, and the manufacturer can access all information about the product through this device code.

4. Weight:
The self-weight of the brake.

 

 

Crane Load Limiter Nameplate

Crane Load Limiter Nameplate

1. Type:

2. Range:
Refers to the maximum load that the sensor of the load limiter for lifting equipment can withstand.

3. Product Number:
The product number is assigned by the manufacturer at the time of production. It is unique, and the manufacturer can access all information about the product through this device code.

4.Magnification:
The force multiplication factor of the pulley block of a crane or tower crane. It is the ratio of the number of flexible elements (e.g., ropes) passing through the hook pulley block to the number of flexible elements entering the drum (or chain).

5. Production Date
