Overhead crane wheels are the most important parts in traveling unit and also are the most vulnerable parts due to the strong impact and wear between wheel and rail. Flange wear, flange breakage and fatigue pitting are the frequently encountered problems. When the overhead crane wheels are broken, the repair and replacement are complex and very time-consuming. To ensure the high quality of the crane wheels assembly, every step in design, material, heat treatment and processing technology is properly and precisely executed in DGCRANE.
According to the different forming process, there are two typical types: casting wheels and forged wheels. Due to different material, heat treatment, we just can’t make a brief contrast between them. Because of different design of crane, the overhead crane wheels are often very different. So the custom designed wheel and OEM is accepted, in fact, is the most common case in export. Meanwhile, our engineers are always ready to make recommendations when these wheel need to be integrated into complete wheel assemblies or in a very specific application.
Now, here comes a brief introduction of our production capacity.
FLANGED CRANE WHEELS are mainly used in all kinds of lift machines, such as single girder overhead crane, double girder overhead crane, gantry crane, and port crane etc. FLANGED CRANE WHEELS are various, like single rim wheel, double rim wheel, non-rim wheel, and other nonstandard wheels. The material of wheels includes 42CrMo4, AISI4140, 41Cr4, A504, SSW-Q1R, 65Mn, 1045, 1055, 1060, 1070, and ductile iron 400, 500,600,700 etc. DGcrane Wheel apply different crafts of different material, precisely control the quench and temper temperature, so that the wheel can reach the metallographic structure and mechanical property.
There’re three heat treatment methods according to different requirements:
FLANGED CRANE WHEELS are replaced because of flange wear, flange breakage, and mechanical overloads characterized by pitting and spalling. Each of these in-service factors must be carefully considered before the combination of wheel design, material selection, hardness pattern and heat-treating technology is selected.
