BRIDGE CRANES
 Double-flange

 Forged alloy steel with straight treads, flame hardened to a

minimum of 480 to 530 BHN

b. Drive wheels shall be matched pairs within 0.001 inch per inch of
diameter or a total of 0.010 inch, whichever is smaller.

c. One drive wheel shall be provided for each end truck.

d. Gear teeth shall be machine cut into the inside flange of the drive
wheels.

e. Wheels shall be designed to carry the maximum recommended loads

in accordance with Table 4.7.12 and Section 4.7.1.2 of CMAA 74.

3.3.4 Bridge Drive

a. The drive bridge shall be CMAA Type A-1 with electric motor, air
motor, or hand chain drive as specified in the Project Technical
Requirements.

b. A bridge brake or noncoasting mechanical drive shall be provided that

can stop the bridge within 10 percent of the distance the bridge would
travel at full speed with full load. (Load speed shall be measured in
feet per minute.)

c. Shafts, except cross shafts without gears, shall be machined at the

bearing and gear mounting positions. Intermediate bridge-cross
shafts may be commercial shafting.

d. Split compression couplings shall connect the cross shafts to the drive
shafts. The couplings shall be spaced one foot from the drive wheels.

e. Hardened steel pinion gears shall be keyed to the drive shafts. The
drive shafts shall have the same bearings as the cross shafts.

3.3.5 Trolley Hoists

Trolley hoists shall be low headroom type unless specified otherwise.

Hoists shall be electric motor, air motor, or hand chain driven as specified
in the Project Technical Requirements.

3.3.6 Identification and Marking

The bridge-crane capacity shall be marked on two porcelain-coated metal
