Installing the clamping buffer

 

The figures show the installation of a clamping buffer on the flange of an EDL underslung travelling crane. The installation on a lower flange on an EDK underslung travelling crane is no different.

 

If the clamping buffers are not installed on the flange or the lower flange:

Fillister-head screw

 

Rubber buffer

Clamping buffer

*    Rotate the clamping buffer so that the rubber buffer points towards the trolley.

*    Push the clamping buffer onto the flange or lower flange.

*    Lay one side of the clamping buffer flat and tighten the fillister-head screw until hand-tight.

 

 

Clamping claw

Horizontal fillister-head screw

 

*    With the horizontal fillister-head screw, pull the other side of the clamping buffer onto the flange or lower flange.

*    Align the clamping buffer so that both clamping claws are lying flat on the flange or lower flange.

*    Also ensure that the clamping buffer has a clearance of at least 5 mm to the profile end or to other components.

*    Tighten the horizontal fillister-head screw. Tighten to 80 Nm.

 

 

Clamping buffer

Rubber buffer

Horizontal fillister-head screw

 

*    Tighten both vertical fillister-head screws. 120 Nm.

*    Push the rubber buffer down until it lies against the flange or lower flange.
