A wheel block system is a rail-mounted crane component that comprises a set of wheels and a frame to support the load during movement. The system can handle loads up to 40 tons, and the wheels can have a diameter of up to 500 mm. Besides crane accessories, the wheels can also be deployed for moving heavy loads. Do you know the components of DRS wheel blocks? Do you know what is splined shaft for DRS wheel blocks? Let's delve into the following article together.
What is Splined Shaft?
DRS wheel splined shaft features internal or external splines along its length mesh with the mating component, creating a reliable connection. It interlocks with grooves in a mating component, leading to torque transmission and alignment.
DRS wheel block's splined shafts' precision makes them valuable in industries that require secure and efficient power transfer. For example, spline shafts connect the gearbox to the driveshaft in transfer carts transmissions, ensuring smooth power transfer from the engine to the DRS wheel blocks.
Configurations of DRS Wheel Block System
The DRS Wheel Block System is designed for durability, precision, and versatility in industrial applications. Its high-quality construction ensures reliable performance, while features like self-lubricating wheels and maintenance-free bearings minimize wear and reduce maintenance needs. With options for various wheel sizes and load capacities, it offers easy wheel inspection and replacement. The system also includes advanced drive configurations, making it adaptable to a wide range of operational requirements.
Housing of DRS Wheel Blocks
High quality thanks to in-house, modern production
Dimensional accuracy thanks to five-sided enclosure
Graduated sizes for different wheel loads
Optionally with buffer
Wheels of DRS Wheel Blocks
Spheroidal graphite castironEN-GJS-700 (GGG 70)
Flange-guided on both sides
Quiet run, reduced runway wear
Low-wear and heavy-duty thanks to self-lubrication
Maintenance-free anti-friction bearing thanks to lifetime lubrication
Wheel range of DRS Wheel Blocks
Easy inspection of flange wear
Easy replacement of the wheel: after removing the buffer flange, the wheel can be pulled out from the front after pulling off the bearing and bearing flange.
Guide rollers and derailment protection of DRS Wheel Blocks
Applications: DRS wheel blocks can be for extra wide rails, to reduce travelling resistance and skewing forces, to minimise cornering forces and runway wear.
Wheel design without flange, the opposite side is equipped with a derailment protection device
Larger rail widths possible
Drive Wheel Blocks
Pole-changing travel motors
Low-maintenance direct drive (vertical/horizontal) with torque support
Optionally single or centralised drive or without drive
Optionally with frequency-controlled motors
Space-saving angle drive
