Tailored Solutions

Demag DRS wheel block has the characteristics of high load-bearing capacity, friction resistance, modularization, easy installation, and long life. It plays the role of load-bearing, guiding, supporting and cooperating driving in the entire turning device. The following introduces the role, characteristics and precautions of the travel wheel block.

The role of the Demag DRS wheel block in the turning device

In the turning device, the travel wheel block undertakes the following key tasks:

Carry the load of the entire equipment to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

Provide a rotating support structure, cooperate with the slewing bracket or drive mechanism to realize the angular rotation of the wheel group;

Link with the turning motor/reducer to realize the rotation of the wheel assembly or the entire bracket.

Prevent yaw and excessive wear, and ensure the running accuracy and life.

Structural characteristics of the Demag travel wheel block 

Modular design: can be seamlessly matched with the Demag DRS wheel, suitable for different load levels and installation requirements.

• High-precision bearing support: ensure the concentricity and stability of the wheel group when rotating.

• Enclosed structure: has good dustproof and waterproof performance, suitable for outdoor or harsh working conditions.

• Interface with the drive system: reserved mounting holes and flange surfaces for direct connection of motors, reducers and other components.

• Anti-torsion structure design: improve the impact resistance and deformation resistance during rotation and extend the life of the equipment.

Precautions for use

To ensure the operating efficiency and life of the rotating device, the following points should be noted:

• Reasonable selection: select the appropriate DRS wheel and wheel block model according to the load, rotation radius and frequency of use;

• Maintain lubrication: regularly check the lubrication of the wheel block bearings and rotating parts to prevent dry friction damage.

• Control the load center: the center of gravity of the rotating equipment should be centered to avoid eccentric load affecting the operation of the wheel block.

• High installation concentricity requirements: ensure that the wheel and wheel block are aligned during installation to avoid eccentric rotation, causing early wear.

• Set the angle limit in conjunction with the control system: avoid continuous over-angle rotation, causing cable entanglement or structural damage.

In situations where precise and fast rotation is required, the combination of Demag DRS wheels provides a stable and efficient motion solution for the equipment. For details, please contact Philson for consultation.
