Bearings are important components of cranes, and their use and maintenance are also of concern to everyone. Crane bearings often overheat during use. So, how should we solve the problem of overhead crane or gantry crane overheating?
First, let’s take a brief look at the causes of crane bearing overheating.
Crane bearings require constant rotation and friction under working conditions, and heat will continue to be generated during the friction process. This is also the most basic physics knowledge in middle school. Therefore, overheating of lifting bearings is mostly caused by the heat accumulation caused by their rapid rotation.
However, continuous rotation and friction of crane equipment during use are inevitable, and we can only find ways to improve the problem of crane bearing overheating. So, how to solve the problem of crane bearing overheating?
The professional technicians of SEVENCRANE Crane told us that the most common way to improve the overheating situation of crane bearings is to carry out heat dissipation design or cooling treatment on the crane bearings. In this way, when the lifting bearing heats up, it can be cooled down or cooled down simultaneously, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the lifting bearing from overheating easily.
In view of the delicate and compact nature of the crane bearing components, cooling methods are easier to achieve than heat dissipation design methods. By introducing cooling water into the bearing bush or directly supplementing the cooling water circulation, the cooling effect of the lifting bearings can be achieved.
