FAQ
1. What is the difference between fixed and moving pulleys in the system?
Fixed pulleys are attached to the crane structure and change the direction of force, while moving pulleys are attached to the load and provide mechanical advantage by reducing the effort required for lifting.
2. Why is the rope groove radius set to R=0.6d?
This specific radius ratio maximizes the contact surface between the wire rope and pulley groove, reducing wear on both components and improving lifting efficiency.
3. When should cast steel be used instead of cast iron?
Cast steel (ZG35 II) is recommended for heavy-duty applications such as grab bucket operations or specialized cranes where higher strength and durability are required.
4. How do rolling bearings improve pulley performance?
Rolling bearings significantly reduce friction compared to plain bearings, resulting in smoother operation, improved efficiency, and extended service life of the pulley system.
5. Can these pulleys be used in existing crane systems?
Yes, the pulleys are designed for compatibility with standard wire rope and hook block systems, making them suitable for both new installations and replacement applications in existing cranes.
