SOLUTIONS READY FOR CONNECTION TO CRANES AND SUPERSTRUCTURES Our DFW end carriages are compact, rail-mounted travel units for direct connection to crane girders and other load-bearing structures. The end carriages consist of a torsionally rigid box section, our DRS wheel blocks and one of our geared motors. They offer excellent travel characteristics – also for high loads. Their strengths in detail: optimum travel characteristics smooth starting thanks to matching drive solutions high operating reliability easy assembly and accessibility for single and double-girder overhead travelling cranes, suspension cranes and travelling structures. Safe, reliable and efficient operation Ready for installation for a wide range of operating conditions Torsionally rigid box section with continuous, heavy gauge side plate Reinforced connection with welded diaphragm plates Steel superstructure specified to DIN 15018, lifting class H2, loading group B3 Excellent travel characteristics Smooth running characteristics due to high self-damping effect of the travel wheel material High wheel loads Long service life Anti-friction bearings sealed against dust and lubricated for life Reliable connection between travel wheels and shafts thanks to splined shaft profile Minimum wear on travel wheels and crane runway rails thanks to self-lubricating effect of spheroidal-graphite cast iron Easy assembly and accessibility Prepared for connection to superstructures such as crane girders and other mobile structures Precise position of the travel wheel axes in relation to the connecting surfaces thanks to machining in a NC machine tool Reliable replacement thanks to reproducible connection geometry Simple adjustment of span dimensions by replacing spacer elements Wear indicator for travel wheels Tailored drive solutions Various sizes for all output requirements Pole-changing cylindrical-rotor brake motors for travel speeds up to 200 ft/min Variable-speed travel motions up to 300 ft./min thanks to inverter-fed drives
