Classification method of working level M1~M8 of crane mechanism

The working level of the crane mechanism is an important parameter that characterizes the heavy workload of the crane mechanism. It is related to the busyness of the crane mechanism.

Table 1 Institutional Utilization Level

Institutional Utilization Level Total service life (h) Note
T0 200 Not often used
T1 400
T2 800
T3 1600
T4 3200 Frequently used leisurely
T5 6300 Use often and moderately
T6 12500 Not often busy
T7 25000 Busy use
T8 50000
T9 100000

Table 2 Mechanism load state and its nominal load spectrum coefficient

Load state Nominal load spectrum coefficient (K m ) Note
L1-light 0.125 The mechanism often bears light loads and occasionally bears the highest loads
L2—Medium 0.25 The mechanism often bears medium loads and less bears the maximum load
L3-heavy 0.50 Mechanisms are often subjected to heavier loads and often the largest loads
L4—extra heavy 1.00 The mechanism often bears the highest loads

The work level of the organization is classified into M1~M8 level (Table 3) according to the utilization level of the organization (Table 1) and the load status of the organization (Table 2).

Table 3 Institutional work level

Load state Nominal load spectrum coefficient (K m ) Institutional Utilization Level
T0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9
L1-light 0.125 M1 M3 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8
L2—Medium 0.25 M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8
L3-heavy 0.50 M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8
L4—extra heavy 1.00 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8

Utilization level refers to the busyness of the organization's work, and is divided into 10 levels from T0 to T9 according to the total number of hours each organization is in operation during the total design life of the organization. The total design life is defined as the total number of hours the mechanism is designed to operate. It is only used as the basis for the design of mechanism parts and cannot be regarded as the warranty period.

The load state of the mechanism indicates the degree of load on the mechanism. According to the nominal load spectrum coefficient, it is divided into four grades: light, medium, heavy and extra heavy. When the actual load change of the mechanism is known, the actual load spectrum coefficient is selected, and then the nominal load spectrum coefficient that is not less than but closest to it is selected according to Table 3, and the machine state level is obtained. When the actual load status of the mechanism is unknown, the appropriate load status level can be selected according to the content in the description column of Table 3

The working level of cranes and metal structures is different from the working level of institutions. For the same crane, due to the inconsistency of the load and the unequal time of each working mechanism, even for the same crane, the working level of different mechanisms is often inconsistent with the working level of the crane. This is in the parts of different mechanisms. Pay special attention when scrapping and updating.
