Overview:

This drawing is for a QC electromagnetic overhead crane, model QC 16/5t-22.5m-10m A7.

The crane is a double girder overhead crane with electromagnetic devices, built around a 16 t main hook and a 5 t auxiliary hook. It is equipped with a circular magnetic chuck Ø1.5m, model MW5-210L/1, for steel scrap handling. This is a high temperature application: the crane works near a high temperature casting area at an ambient temperature of 100°C, and the magnetic chuck is designed to keep its holding force in that environment. The crane uses pendant control and remote control, so the operator can work from the floor or from a safe distance.

This is a heavy duty electromagnetic overhead crane in duty class A7, which is suitable for continuous operation in steel mills, foundries, and casting areas where steel scrap is handled all day. The hoisting winch is the open winch type, and the trolley carries both the main and auxiliary hooks plus the circular magnetic chuck.

Key design features:

  • Application: Steel scrap handling near high temperature casting area
  • Electromagnet: Circular magnetic chuck Ø1.5m, model MW5-210L/1, self-weight 7,000 kg, for steel scrap
  • Ambient temperature: 100°C near the casting area
  • Control modes: Pendant control + remote control
  • Hoisting winch: Open winch, main and auxiliary hooks
  • Structure: Double girder, bridge type, prepared for electromagnetic overhead crane duty
  • Duty class A7: heavy duty continuous operation

FAQ (QC 16/5t-22.5m-10m A7 Electromagnetic Overhead Crane Drawing)

Common questions about electromagnetic overhead cranes, double girder overhead cranes with circular magnetic chuck, steel scrap handling, MW5-210L/1, Ø1.5m magnetic chuck, 100°C ambient temperature, high temperature casting area, pendant + remote control, and A7 duty.

1. What is an electromagnetic overhead crane for steel scrap handling near a high temperature casting area?

An electromagnetic overhead crane for steel scrap handling uses a magnetic chuck instead of a standard hook to grip ferrous scrap directly. Near a high temperature casting area, the crane works in an environment where the ambient temperature reaches 100°C. This means the magnet coil insulation, the suspension system, the wire ropes, and the electrical components must all be rated for high temperature service. The circular magnetic chuck Ø1.5m on this crane is designed to hold its lifting force in that environment while handling steel scrap all day.

2. What does the magnetic chuck model MW5-210L/1 mean?

MW5-210L/1 is the circular magnetic chuck model used on this crane. The "MW" prefix indicates a magnetic chuck. The "5" refers to the magnet series. "210" refers to the magnet diameter and coil data. "L/1" indicates the version and coil type. This model has a diameter of 1.5 m and a self-weight of 7,000 kg, which makes it suitable for picking up large volumes of steel scrap per lift. The rated voltage is DC-220 V.

3. Why is 100°C ambient temperature important for this crane?

Standard overhead cranes are usually designed for ambient temperatures up to 40°C. At 100°C, the heat affects every part of the crane: motor insulation, wire rope lubrication, magnet coil insulation, cable jackets, and control panel components. For a high temperature casting area application, the crane is specified with heat resistant materials, high temperature grease, Class H insulation on motors, and a magnet designed to maintain force at elevated temperature. Without these changes, the crane would lose reliability and the magnet would lose lifting force.

4. Why does this crane use pendant control + remote control?

Pendant control lets the operator work from the floor near the load, which is useful for precise positioning of the magnetic chuck over a scrap pile. Remote control lets the operator step back to a safe distance, which is important near a high temperature casting area where heat and sparks may be present. Having both modes gives the operator flexibility to choose the safest and most convenient control method for each lift.

5. What does QC 16/5t-22.5m-10m A7 mean?

QC = double girder electromagnetic overhead crane. "16/5t" = 16 t main hook, 5 t auxiliary hook. "22.5m" = 22.5 m span. "10m" = 10 m nominal lifting height. "A7" = ISO A7 duty class. A7 is a heavy duty class for continuous work in demanding environments such as steel mills, foundries, and casting areas.

6. What power supply does this electromagnetic overhead crane need?

The crane runs on 3-phase, 380 V, 50 Hz. This covers the 37 kW main hoist motor, the 11 kW auxiliary hoist motor, the 2.2 kW trolley travel motor, the two 5.5 kW crane travel motors, and the control system. The circular magnetic chuck MW5-210L/1 operates on DC-220 V through a separate magnet controller panel with battery backup or capacitor buffer to maintain holding force for at least 30 minutes after power failure.

7. What are the workshop dimensions and how does the crane fit?

The workshop has a column center of 24 m and a length of 196 m. The crane's 22.5 m span is designed to fit inside these workshop dimensions, giving enough clearance between the crane end carriage and the workshop columns. The 196 m length means the crane travels a long runway, so the long travel speed of 42.1 m/min keeps cycle times reasonable across the full length of the building.

8. What safety features are recommended for an electromagnetic overhead crane in a high temperature casting area?

Key safety features for a high temperature electromagnetic overhead crane include: battery backup or capacitor buffer to maintain holding force for at least 30 minutes after power failure; heat shielding between the magnet and the load to protect the coil; high temperature cable and hose protection; swivel-type mechanical suspension to prevent cable twist; and residual magnetism release to ensure clean scrap drop. For a casting area at 100°C, the crane should also have thermal protection on motors and control panels, and clear load indicators in the control station.
