3DDave: This seems a bit illogical, but the truth is my PC crashed just last month, and all files were lost. Let me do again and bring up here.
MintJulep: yes, agreed.
added a thrust bearing above single tapered bearing will resist the movement of wheels at rib. And 2 bearings will handle all the forces, moments,
The most resistant for prying moment is 2 wheels at rib support. Which is supportive to the top bearing to focus on rotating mechanism, and the...
@all: structure calculation is sufficient for load test, base metal is A572-50/yield strength 355 MPa, column OD 914 x 8mm thickness. Base plate 40mm, crane boom thickness 16mm. Pin & Wheel is S45C + PWHT.
LittleInch: jib crane is sufficient with load test at 7 meters point of crane boom...
Hi MintJulep,
i load tested at the closest point to center of column, start moving trolley to the farthest, and when it reached 7.5 meter, crane boom sagged down. And i start thinking about rotating mechanism had problem.
Yeah, seem like the resistance to prying moment not good enough. I...
Dear all,
Please help me on this issue.
i did load-testing for Jib Crane, some information as :
Lifting height: 9.5 meters
Crane radius : 8 meters
SWL : 3 ton
Single tapered roller bearing : dynamic load : 245 kN, static load : 365 kN
I used single tapered roller bearing (SKF) with pin and...
