Checking the HBF trolley drives

 

To check the brake on the trolley drive, read further here. To check the brake on the crane travel drive, see product manual “Push trolley HF / Electric trolley EF”.

 

Checking the pre-tension of the plate springs

On all HBF drives:

 

Plate springs

 

Coupling

*    Check the pre-tension of the plate springs. The coupling must be turned far enough so that the plate springs (including the upper and lower discs) are the right length:

─     For connection of the HBF drive on the friction wheel side: H = 59 mm.

─     For connection of the HBF drive on the travel motor side: H = 49 mm.

*    If the plate springs are tensioned too much or too little: readjust them.

 

 

Inspecting the friction wheel

On all HBF drives:

 

Heavily damaged area on the friction wheel

 

Undamaged area on the friction wheel (area within the travel gap)

Example of damage on the friction wheel.

*    Inspect the running surface of the friction wheel. The running surface may not be cracked, heavily worn or otherwise damaged.

*    If the running surface of the friction wheel is no longer in good condition: replace the friction wheel. See Changing the friction wheel.
