Crane drive synchronisation
27 January 2015
When an Australian provider of overhead cranes, Modular Cranes, needed to to synchronise a new bridge crane with two existing units, NORD Drivesystems configured the drives keeping in mind the end-users budgetary requirements.

NORD proposed an integrated solution consisting of an efficient helical gear unit, a standard four-pole electric motor with a 10 Nm electromagnetic brake, and a motor-mounted frequency inverter with an external brake resistor. The two bridge drives were configured to synchronise and match the existing cranes using a simple parameter set-up procedure and were flange-mounted on the crane girder.
Operation is comfortably carried out with the same remote control pendant, no additional configuration is required.
