How to Choose the Right Travelling Wheel Set

Travelling crane plays a vital role in industrial production, and travelling crane wheel set as one of the key components of the crane, its selection of the right or wrong directly affects the safe operation of the crane travelling crane and work efficiency. So, how to choose the right travelling crane wheel set?

First of all, the use environment of the travelling vehicle should be considered. Different environments have different requirements for wheel sets. For example, if the vehicle is working in a humid, corrosive environment, you need to choose a good corrosion-resistant wheel set materials, such as stainless steel wheels or wheels after special anti-corrosion treatment. If the vehicle works in a high temperature environment, you need to choose high temperature resistant wheel set material, such as alloy steel wheels.

At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the ground conditions of the travelling workplace, if the ground is uneven or there are more obstacles, it is necessary to choose a wheel set with strong seismic performance and passability.

Secondly, the wheel set should be selected according to the carrying capacity of the vehicle. Carrying capacity of the vehicle is one of the important basis for the selection of wheel sets. If the carrying capacity of the vehicle is large, it is necessary to choose a strong bearing capacity of the wheel set, usually can choose a larger diameter, wider rim, high strength of the wheel set. At the same time, we should also consider the number and arrangement of wheel sets to ensure that the vehicle can maintain stability when carrying heavy loads.

Further, the running speed of the wheelset should be considered. Different running speeds have different requirements for wheel sets. If the running speed of the vehicle is fast, it is necessary to choose a wheel set with good wear resistance and high-speed stability. Usually, you can choose the wheel set material with high hardness and smooth surface to reduce the friction resistance between the wheel and the track, and improve the running speed and efficiency of the travelling car.

Finally, of course, the cost factor should be considered. When choosing a travelling wheel set, you can’t just pursue high performance and high quality, but also consider the cost factor. You have to choose cost-effective wheel set products according to your actual needs and budget. You can choose the right wheel set product for you by comparing the price, performance and quality of products from different brands and manufacturers.
