If you are the owner of a business that uses overhead cranes, one of the most important factors is to ensure that your workplace is safe and secure for your employees, and for anyone else who may visit your factory from time to time. Overhead cranes are heavy and powerful machines that can be used to move heavy loads and materials, and therefore it is essential that you make certain that your employees are properly trained in their use. There are important things to understand, not the least of which is that overloading the crane can cause severe damage and can mean that the load could swing or drop. If something heavy is not properly secured and is dropped it can cause serious, or even fatal, injury. Another problem is that of a swinging load. If the operator fails to centre the hoist over the load, then when lifting begins, the load will swing towards its’ centre of gravity and could strike another employee. An Accredited Course All employees who are required to operate an ov...

Ravioli batteries are a creative idea for a new type of battery architecture that resembles the pillowed shape of ravioli pasta pockets. While not edible, this unique layered design shows significant promise for improving various battery performance metrics. Batteries function as energy storage devices. They convert stored chemical energy into usable electrical energy. Fundamental components include: ●      Anode - the negative electrode that gives up electrons to the external circuit ●      Cathode - the positive electrode that accepts electrons from the external circuit ●      Electrolyte - the ionically conductive medium enabling flow between electrodes ●      Separator - an insulating barrier preventing direct electron flow   These batteries utilise reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions to generate electricity: ●      Oxidation at the anode produces electrons ...

Many industries require the use of a crane for lifting heavy items and transporting them efficiently and with precision. When we say heavy loads, we mean it. For example, a Wolff 255B can lift a load of 14 tons at 100m a minute on a single line pull. However, many other cranes are slower. One of the things that we get asked at CY Electrical & Cranes is how long a crane can last before it is time to scrap it and replace it. Obviously, this can vary and there are a number of factors which will affect it. The average life of a crane can vary between 15 years and 50. Obviously, the quality of materials used in construction will have an effect, but then so will the weather. A crane is out in all weathers, no matter what, and the working parts of the crane can be affected. Too high and too low temperatures can cause issues. Parts can freeze and deteriorate. Oil will deteriorate as well. Dust, metal shavings, and other impurities that can arise on many construction sites will also h...

Most people are well aware that when you drive a motor vehicle it will have a brake, and also a clutch - as long as it does not have an automatic gearbox in which case it only has the brakes. What most people may not realise is that many other pieces of equipment also require a brake and a clutch, including things such as cranes, for instance. That is understandable if you are not an engineer, but they are essential in order for everything to work as it should. So, if you are operating a crane from a cab 100 feet or more above the ground, there has to be a way to stop it when it lowers a heavy item, or any item really, to the ground - or the other way around, when it has lifted the load to whatever height is required. For that, you need a brake and a clutch. There are also many other pieces of equipment that are needed to swing the jib around and to run the load out along the jib to wherever it needs to be, and that includes a brake and clutch too. When you stop to think about it...

Introduction Electromagnetic brakes are the kind of brakes that use electricity and magnetism to slow things down or to stop them. These brakes have coils of wire inside them. When electricity is sent through these coils, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field starts pulling or pushing a metal disc to create an opposing force, resulting in the slowing down or stopping of the machine. The best part about these brakes is that they can be controlled by adjusting how strong the opposing force would be by changing the amount of electricity going through the coils. Where is an Electromagnetic Brake needed? An electromagnetic brake is used in machines that need precise control over slowing down or stopping. Here are some of them: Elevators Machine Tools Wind Turbines Electric Motors Railway Systems Cranes and Hoists Medical Equipment Industrial Machinery Automation and Robotics Escalators and Moving Wal...
