General

The electro - hydraulic clamshell grab is a modern and sturdy high performance
machine for the handling of bulk material.
The grab consists mainly of the following construction groups:

- Main power section

- Drive unit
- Hydraulic cylinders
- Clamshells

After connecting the grab to the proper power supply (380 V / 50 cycles or
440 V / 60 cycles) it is ready for working as a crane grab.
By changing the direction of rotation of the electro - motor the operating cylinders
are alternately fed via the hydraulic system with a pressure of up to 260 bar.
The closing and opening function of the grab is hydraulically remote controlled by
the crane driver, depending of crane type, by a change of the sense of rotation or
solenoid valves. The necessary cable between grab and crane house and the
switch are not in our scope of supply. The compact construction design in
combination with a suitable arrangement of all components and the optimised
grab kinematics are resulting in:

- A suitable course of the grab closing forces (especially at the end of the closing
process high closing forces are ensured),
- A wide grabbing distance between the shells.

Additionally there is a good filling of the grab due to the suitable shell shape and
grab curves.
A high utilisation of the cranes lifting capacity and therefore an optimised load
turn - over is guaranteed due to the low dead weight of the grab in combination
with the designed grab volume and load capacity.
The mechanical stability is guaranteed by a homogeneous construction, ample
dimensioned components and a good welding workmanship.

Main power section

Is made of a sturdy welded steel construction of steel quality St 52-3. It is

simultaneously hydraulic tank, support for the clamshells and bearing point for the
hydraulic cylinders. The electro - hydraulic drive unit is protected mounted in the
main power section. For the connection to the main electric power supply an
electric socket is installed.
The connection and the necessary parts and cables are not in our scope of supply.
The turntable grab suspension (top and lower traverse, shackles and chains) is
bolted to the top of the housing.

Drive unit

The drive unit consists mainly of an electric motor with flange - mounted axial -
piston pump. The complete unit is flanged vertically onto the tank top, with the
hydraulic pump submerged into the hydraulic tank. This ensures an oil flow free of
cavitations on the pump's suction side.
The special hydraulic valves and other necessary items are mounted on this tank
top too.

Hydraulic cylinders

Double - acting hydraulic cylinders with sea - water - resistant nickel - chrome -
plated piston rods (18Mn V5 / 0,04mm nickel / 0,025mm chrome). The cylinders
are protected against bulk a.s.o. by steel covers.

Clamshells

The grab clamshells are of a welded, stiff steel construction with solid designed
bearings to be connected to the main power section and to the hydraulic cylinders.
A pipe of a large diameter is installed across to the clamshell upper section and
both yoke plates, which are descending from the clamshell to the grab arm bearing
point.
This thick walled pipe is additionally stiffening the clamshell - side plates and
provides a high constructive twist resistance.
The bottom- and side plates are of steel quality St 52-3.
The clamshell bearings are arranged rearwards, in order to enable the grab
gripping into the areas underneath the top wing tanks of the vessel. The knives
(side - knifes and under - knifes) are a massive construction of highly wear
resistant steel type HARDOX 400 (or similar quality / hardness: 400 - 500 HB). For
an additional price standard type clamshell - teeth (choice of owner) are available.

Bolts

Bolt clamshell - cylinder and case : X20Cr13

Bolt clamshell - case : 42CrMo4

Bearings

Clamshell connection to main power section and cylinders:

- sealed joint bearings with additional sealing

Lubrication

Each bearing point is provided with an individual lubrication bore, witch ensures
that all bearing points can be checked with regard to proper grease passing.
Lubrication nipples:
Countersunk mounted high pressure nipples of DIN - type 71 412
