Mounting the trolley towing arm

Only for trolley D, DA, Z, ZA
and energy chain

This section only applies if a trolley of construction D, DA, Z or ZA is connected to an overhead travelling crane with an energy chain.

 

The component parts of the trolley towing arm are enclosed loose and must be assembled.

 

Pipe clamp	Mount
Square tube	Threaded bracket

   Screw the mount to the end carriage using the threaded bracket and rib nuts (2x).

Threaded bracket	Tightening torque
M8	25 Nm
M10	50 Nm
M12	75 Nm

   Screw the square tube to the mount using two pipe clamps. Tighten to 15 Nm

 

 

Rectangular pipe clamp	Individual components of the energy chain
Pipe clamp	Carrying tube

   Screw the carrying tube with pipe clamp and rectangular pipe clamp onto the vertical square tube (trolley towing arm). Tighten to 15 Nm

   Fasten the individual components of the energy chain (deflection bracket and connection element) with bolts and SL safety clip to the carrying tube.

 

 

Cable ties	Flat cable
Connection element		Energy chain

   Lead through the flat cable from the energy chain and guide in a curve around the deflection bracket.

   Fasten the flat cable with cable ties to the upper section of the deflection bracket.

   Insert the energy chain into the connection element and click into place.

 

 

Only for trolley DQA
and energy chain

This section only applies if a trolley of construction DQA is connected to an overhead travelling crane with an energy chain.

 

The component parts of the trolley towing arm are enclosed loose and must be assembled.

 

	Mounting plate
Carrying tube

   Insert the carrying tube from below into the trolley frame.

   Screw on the mounting plate with a hexagonal head screw M8 and hexagonal nut.

   Insert the carrying tube between the mounting plate and the trolley frame.

   Tightly screw on the hexagonal nuts. 25 Nm.

 

 

Rectangular pipe clamp	Carrying tube
Pipe clamp	Individual components of the energy chain

   Screw the horizontal carrying tube with pipe clamp and rectangular pipe clamp onto the vertical carrying tube (trolley towing arm). Tighten to 15 Nm

   Fasten the individual components of the energy chain (deflection bracket and connection element) with bolts and SL safety clip to the square tube.

 

 

Cable ties	Flat cable
Connection element		Energy chain

   Lead through the flat cable from the energy chain and guide in a curve around the deflection bracket.

   Fasten the flat cable with cable ties to the upper section of the deflection bracket.

   Insert the energy chain into the connection element and click into place.

 

 

Only for an overhead travelling crane with a festoon cable system

The trolley towing arm is fastened pre-installed to the C-rail system and must be fitted to the trolley.

For trolleys with trolley travel limit switches: the trolley travel limit switch is already completely installed.

 

	Trolley towing arm
Marking

   Attach the installed trolley towing arm to the end carriages.

In most cases, the end carriage has a marking at which the trolley towing arm is to be attached. The switching point of the trolley travel limit switch is already adjusted for this position and the cable lengths correspondingly adapted.

   Screw the trolley towing arm tightly with the threaded bracket and rib nuts (2x).

Threaded bracket	Tightening torque
M8	25 Nm
M10	50 Nm
M12	75 Nm

 

 

Only for trolley travel limit switches
and energy chain

This section only applies if the trolley has advance or end shut-down and the overhead travelling crane has an energy chain.

 

A cross-type limit switch is used for the advance or end shut-down of the trolley. It is either installed on the horizontal square tube or on the vertical square tube.

 

Pipe clamp
Cross-type limit switch

   Turn the cross-type limit switch to position 0.

   Screw the cross-type limit switch with pipe clamp to the square tube. Tighten to 15 Nm
