DRS Drive Wheels for Crane End Beams

Crane end beams and wheel blocks are two closely related and interdependent components in an overhead crane's travel system.

• The End Beam acts as the main supporting framework and chassis. It is a structural steel member that forms the end of the crane's bridge.

• The Wheel Block is the integrated drive and bearing assembly that is mounted onto the end beam. It is the complete unit containing the wheels, axles, bearings, and often the motor and gearbox.

Analogy: Think of a car.

• The End Beam is like the car's axle assembly or chassis.

• The Wheel Block is like the entire wheel hub assembly (including the brake rotor, wheel studs, and bearings) that is bolted to the axle.

To enable crane movement, the crane end beam and the travel wheel block (also known as the wheel assembly) are both essential and indispensable core components. The DRS Wheel Block ranks among the top-performing wheel block systems on the market today. The DRS Wheel Block is a high-performance modular travel system designed for crane end beams. Its compact structure consists of a high strength wheel body, precision bearings and wear-resistant tires, which can provide excellent load-bearing capacity and long-life performance. The DRS drive wheel has a variety of specifications and installation options to adapt to different models of end beams, while supporting high-precision operation and low-noise operation. With its excellent load bearing efficiency and reliability, the DRS drive wheel has become an ideal choice for improving the stability and mobility of cranes, and is widely used in scenarios such as ports, factories and logistics centers.

The working principle of the DRS drive wheel is based on a modular design. Through its integrated drive unit and high-precision bearing system, the power is transmitted from the drive device to the wheel body, achieving smooth and efficient travel and load movement. When installed on the crane end beam, the drive wheel generates friction with the track through the power output controlled by its motor or inverter, thereby driving the end beam and the entire lifting equipment to move precisely on the track. Its internal structural design ensures that the wheel body has good wear resistance and load-bearing capacity, while reducing operating noise and vibration, and achieving efficient load transportation and positioning.

Advantages of DRS drive wheels

  ● The modular structure facilitates quick installation, replacement and maintenance, reducing equipment downtime.

  ● The use of high-strength materials and precision processing can withstand heavy loads and is suitable for various industrial environments.

  ● The optimized wheel body and bearing design make it low noise during operation, suitable for scenes with high environmental requirements.

  ● Used with rails, it provides smooth movement and precise positioning to meet complex operation requirements.

  ● A variety of specifications are available, which can be adapted to different types of crane end beams and walking equipment.
