Motors for Tower Cranes

Application:

Drive for tower cranes for civil construction.
Motors and brake motors designed for the various movements of a tower crane: Lifting, Luffing, Traversing, and Slewing.

Characteristics:

Custom electrical design, adapted to each crane and type of service (generally S3 or S4-ED60%), considering the number of starts per hour and other factors.

Speed Options

1-speed motors for drive by inverter with or without encoder.
2 or 3-speed motors, with Dahlander winding or independent coils (e.g.: 2/4/16 poles).

Frecuencias de arranque disponibles: 20 Hz, 25 Hz, 30 Hz (según fabricante de la grúa) y relaciones 1:4, 1:6, 1:8…
Velocidad máxima: hasta 4.500 rpm.
Rango de potencias: hasta 220 kW (modelos estándar de 22 kW, 30 kW, 37 kW, 45 kW, 65 kW, 110 kW, 132 kW, 160 kW).

Mechanical Construction

IP23 open, self-ventilated IC01 or IC06, with compact design and excellent thermal performance.
Alternatively, models with IP54/55 protection are offered for more demanding environments.

Cooling Options

IC411, IC01 (Self-ventilated).
IC416, IC06 (Forced ventilation) axial or centrifugal/radial.
IC410 (TENV).

Optional elements, heating resistors, temperature probes, microswitches, encoders.

Protection for aggressive environments: Designed to withstand extreme climatic conditions, with special coatings suitable up to high-grade CX marine coating quality.

Brakes:

  • Designed and manufactured in-house by Obeki.
  • DC power supply (90 to 190 Vdc) with included rectifier supply.
  • Static braking torque of up to 12,000 Nm.
  • Modular, safe, and economically efficient design.
  • Weather vane brakes with unlocking lever to ensure the integrity of cranes in the event of emergencies due to extreme weather.
