INTRODUCTIONThe ever growing demands by industry for increased automation and higher plant output rates resulted in thedevelopment of generation after generation of higher speed, heavier duty modern bridge cranes. Whilemechanical engineers concentrated their efforts on designing bigger and more efficient cranes, structuralengineers maintained an equivalent pace in improving crane girder, support structure and foundation designs.Between these two fields of expertise lies the crane rail, which represents the hinge point of the installation.Traditional rail mounting methods have, in general, not kept pace with the increasing demands made on them.

The result can be that this relatively inexpensive area, in terms of initial outlay and design, can causeconsiderable operating expenses and problems. These problems manifest themselves by high wear rates inwheels, bearings, axles and rails. High maintenance costs and significant down time are the ultimate result.

In the longer term, the impact and vibration transmitted to the girder structure and foundations result in structuraldamage and possible girder failure due to fatigue.

FATIGUEThe area of contact between a steel rail and the top flange of a steel crane girder can be as little as one percentof the projected area of the rail. Since both the rail and girder are stiff in compression, even heavy wheel loadswill not substantially increase the contact area, and very large local stresses result. To compound this problem,these contact points are randomly distributed, leading to complex and indeterminate stress patterns in thesupporting girder. The continuously moving and shock loads, produced by the operations of the crane can resultin fatigue and consequent damage to both the crane rail and the girder. The most common manifestation iscracking in the upper portion of the girder web.

Where rails are mounted on concrete, a similar rationale applies with resulting progressive disintegration of theconcrete and loosening of the hold down bolts.

CRANE RAIL MOUNTINGThe GANTREX crane rail soft mounting systems have developed over 35 years in an effort to reduce the all toofrequent problems associated with crane rail installations. Todays line of mounting pads and clips aresophisticated, proven and easy to install. They result in reduced mechanical wear, lower impact forces fromshock loading, less vibration and a quieter operation. These systems consist of steel reinforced, vulcanized,synthetic rubber pads and resilient clips designed specifically for the mounting of crane rails in light, medium orheavy duty applications.

Crane RailFastening Systems

- 1 -

CRANE RAIL CLIPS FEATURES BENEFITS Lateral adjustability Absorbs initial rail tolerances

Facilitates future re-railing & realignment Positive lateral rail restraint Keeps pad fixed laterally

Ensures constant rail alignment Reduces crane skewing effects

Self-locking When torqued to specified recommendation, bolts will never loosen and are locked in place Side thrust will never overcome frictional resistance of the self-locking design

Synthetic nose permanently bonded to clip upper component

Prevents bolts from being overstressed from tension and fatigue, by absorbing the uplift of the rail due to the bow wave effect Allows predictable, controlled longitudinal rail movement due to temperature changes and normal crane acceleration and braking Precompresses pad, resulting in intimate contact between the rail, pad and girder, minimizing wear

RESILIENT PAD FEATURES BENEFITS Vulcanized synthetic rubber material of construction

Resists wear, as well as oil & grease Reduces noise Eliminates indeterminate concentrated loads by compensating for the uneven surfaces of the bottom of the rail & top of girder Centers the wheel load to reduce flexural stresses in the girder top flange-to-web connection Allows controlled transverse mobility of the rail head, which reduces stress levels during wheel flanging, and absorbs the angular misalignment between rail head and wheel tread Life expectancy of the pad is normally 2-3 times the rail life Extends life of the rail, girder, crane wheels and bearings Eliminates fretting corrosion between rail and girder top flange Extends life of electrical components on the crane

Ribbed construction Gives the pad a double-angled load/deflection curve which allows it to be pre-compressed by the rail clip but support high wheel loads without resulting in high flexural stresses in the rail Compression of the pad under the wheel load does not result in pad elongation, instead, the grooves fill as the wheel load increases

Edge seals Prevents the ingress of dirt and water which can cause premature failure of the pad, rail and support structure

Steel reinforcement Minimum 90% steel width prevents longitudinal tears typical in fiber pads Provides lateral rigidity, to prevent extrusion from under the rail Stiffens the pad under heavy wheel loads to reduce bending stress in the rail

GANTREX MK 2 PAD



Rev. 05/03


The GANTREX Mark 6 pad fulfills these requirements in the following manner:

1) It is manufactured from a synthetic elastomer especially resistant to wear, shear and crushing as well as oil,grease, ozone, and ultra violet rays.

2) Its upper face is grooved in order to obtain a variable stiffness see Load-Deflection Curve Fig. 1. Thisincreases the pads resistance to wear without introducing excessive bending stresses in the rail, asexplained below:

the reduction of pad thickness under the wheel load does not result in pad elongation (bulging) in thedirection transverse to the rail as would be the case with a plain pad. Here the thickness reduction resultsin the filling of the grooves. Thus, there is practically no relative movement between rail and pad, againminimizing wear.

as the grooves fill, the vertical stiffness of the pad increases and the bending stresses in the rail due to thewheel load increase more slowly.

3) It is reinforced with a high strength galvanized steel strip that is at least 90% of the width of the pad and fullyvulcanized to the rubber. The reinforcement acts as a diaphragm and gives the pad lateral stiffness,preventing it from deflecting under the side thrust of the rail, regardless of wheel load and loss of frictionfrom oil or grease.

4) Edge seals on both the top and bottom surfaces prevent the ingress of dirt and water which can causepremature failure of the pad, rail and support structure.

5) It is manufactured by an extrusion process which eliminates problems commonly experienced with a batchmolding process such as variations in durometer, risk of contamination, pad straightness and centering ofthe reinforcing steel. It also allows the pad to be extruded in longer lengths.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

The GANTREX MK 6 pad has been specially designed for the soft mounting ofcrane rails. The main functions of the pad are to:

distribute the wheel load over a larger surface area - See Fig. 5 eliminate load concentrations and the resulting fatigue stresses - See Fig. 4 compensate for the uneven surface between the rail and its support reduce impact, vibration and noise eliminate fretting corrosion (wear) of the support surface under the rail.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

GANTREX reinforced pad is recommended for all installations, both indoors and out. For each installation,GANTREX will recommend the type of pad which best meets the service conditions. For best results,GANTREX clips should also be used to prevent lateral movement of the rail.

The upper surface of the supporting structure should be clean and free from oil, grease and any sharp orabrasive particles that are likely to damage the pad.

The pad should be laid in continuous lengths on the support surface, with the grooved side up, the ends buttedtightly together and centered at a pair of rail clips. It should be cut as needed to ensure that a joint does notcoincide with a gap between adjacent girders. Where possible, the joint should be not less than 3 ft from theend of the girder. The minimum length of pad should be not less than ten feet. It should be centered beneaththe rail flange so that it is completely covered.

When pad is used, a laterally locking rail clip, such as Stelcam, Weldlok, or 3000 Series, shall be used. (Ref:AISE TR #13 5.16)

GANTREX MK 6 PAD



Rev. 05/03


GANTREX reinforced pad is recommended for all rail installations, both indoor and out. GANTREX canrecommend the pad best suited for a particular service condition. GANTREX rail clips should be used to preventlateral movement of the rail. Properly installed, they will ensure that the pad remains under the rail for optimumperformance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The upper surface of the supporting structure should be clean and free from oil, grease and any abrasive orsharp particles that are likely to damage the pad.

The pad must be installed with the grooved side up.

Pad should be laid in continuous lengths on the support surface, with the ends butted tightly together.

Pad should be centered beneath the rail flange so that it is completely covered by the rail.

Pad joints should be at least 3 feet away from rail joints, adjacent girder joints or building expansion joints.

Pad is supplied in nominal 39-foot rolls. When using cut lengths of pad, care must be taken to ensure that thecut piece is long enough to span at least four pairs of rail clips.

If the gap between adjacent girders or at expansion joints is greater than 3/4", pad stops are stronglyrecommended. These should be 1/4" thick, U-shaped steel bars, welded at the ends of the girder.

Pad stops should also be considered at the ends of each runway where excessive longitudinal rail movementrelative to the girder or soleplate is expected. A typical detail is shown below.

The GANTREX crane rail soft-mounting system consists of a range of synthetic rubber pads, which are laidunder the rail, and a range of resilient crane rail clips that locate the rail.

Individual data sheets on the various GANTREX pads and clips give details of the unique characteristics andgeometry of each product.

This general specification describes the boltable Stelcam series clips.Weldable clips are described in the Weldlok series general specification sheet.Pads are described in the MK6 and the MK2 pad specifications.Other clips are described in the 3000 & 7000 Series General Specifications sheets.


All GANTREX Stelcam series patented clips are specifically designed for the mounting of crane rails, with orwithout pad. A full range of bolt or stud-attached clips is available to the designer to optimize the economy aswell as the technical integrity of the installation.

All Stelcam clips consist of two interacting components that allow easy lateral rail adjustment and, oncecorrectly installed, are self-locking. A controlled vertical force is applied to the rail flange through a syntheticrubber nose, which is vulcanize-bonded to the appropriate clip component. The true cam design ensures thatthe force is transmitted to the fastener (bolt or stud) in the most efficient means possible and is completelyindependent of friction.

All components are made from high-quality ductile cast iron (50,000 psi, minimum yield).

Rev. 09/04


The GANTREX crane rail soft-mounting system consists of a range of synthetic rubber pads, which are laidunder the rail, and a range of resilient crane rail clips which locate the rail.


This general specification describes the 3000 series clips (high capacity, boltable).Weldable clips are described in the Weldlok series general specification sheet.The medium/light duty boltable clips are described in the Stelcam Series general specifications and data sheets.Pads are described in the MK6 and the MK2 pad specifications.


All 3000 Series clips are specifically designed for the mounting of crane rails, with or without pad. The 3000Series and Stelcam series offer a full range of bolt or stud-attached clips is available to the designer to optimizethe economy as well as the technical integrity of the installation.

All 3000 Series clips consist of two interacting components which allow easy lateral rail adjustment and, oncecorrectly installed, are self-locking. A controlled vertical force is applied to the rail flange through a syntheticrubber nose, which is vulcanize-bonded to the appropriate clip component.

All components are made from high-quality ductile cast iron (50,000 psi, minimum yield).

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 3000 SERIES

3000 Seriesboltable clips

- 1 -


TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF STELCAM CLIPS Simple and positive lateral rail adjustment of up to 3/4 (20mm), depending on type of clip. Self-locking and self-tightening features due to a system of double wedging components. Very high resistance to lateral loads through careful selection of materials. Controlled vertical force applied to rail through synthetic rubber nose:

- accommodates rail and girder tolerances- eliminates fatigue effects on attachment device (bolt or stud)

- ensures contact between rail and pad under the rail- controls axial movement of broken rail - eliminates loosening of bolts

Crane runway maintenance and down-time are minimized. Noise and vibration are reduced.

STANDARD RANGE OF CLIPSSee data sheet on specific clip series for details. All 3000 Series clips are available in various heights, with optionalnose thicknesses to accommodate all rail sizes with and without pad.

STANDARD CLIPSOnly standard 3000 Series clips are shown in this catalog. Other versions of this series are available to meetspecial requirements.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SIDE LOAD (R) FOR STANDARD CLIPSThe maximum allowable side load (R in kips) depends on the type of fastening bolt or stud.

SUGGESTED WELD

The lower component of the GANTREX Weldlok Series clip is welded to the support structure. The weld size on theside facing the rail must not exceed 3/16. This will avoid any interference with the locating lug on the uppercomponent. Welds on the back and sides of the clip may be as large as required to accommodate the imposed sidethrust and to meet governing welding code requirements.

The following are welds suggested by GANTREX. The actual weld size (which is dictated by design thrust) and thewelding procedure should be specified by the designer.

The suggested weld is along the front of the clip and along the back: Weld X and Weld Y. Completing the weld along both sides of the clip, Weld Z, brings the side thrust capacity to the value stated in the

table above. WELDLOK 15 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 15,000* lbs can be obtained by increasing Weld Y &

Z to 3/8. WELDLOK 18 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 18,000* lbs can be obtained by increasing Weld Y &

Z to 5/16. WELDLOK 24 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 24,000* lbs can be obtained by increasing Weld Y &

Z to 3/8.

* Limited by the side thrust capacity of the clip.

NOTE: Side thrust capacities shown above are based on allowable weld stress of 15,000 psi for up to 100,000 full loadcycles. AISC requires a reduction for up to 500,000 cycles and a further reduction for up to 2,000,000 cycles.

The correct bolt assembly consists of a Grade 5 hex head capscrew with A325 structural nut and washer. The correct bolt assembly for the Weldlok 18 consists of a modified M20 HHCS x 35mm screw with a 20 mm jam nut

and 3/4 hardened structural washer. Weld rod: any low hydrogen rod suitable for use with structural steel may be used. Typical designations include E7018. Clips MUST be installed in opposing pairs. They should NEVER be staggered. For new installations the lower component should be welded in the fabrication facility (steps 1 and 2). Welding should be completed prior to pad installation, as excessive heat could damage the pad. Painting the lower component may reduce side thrust capacity.

It is imperative that the clips be adjusted to ensure ZERO lateral rail float as shown in Figure 6. Improperadjustment will cause pad failure. Verification of the required hardware torque and clip upper adjustmentshould be performed within the first three months of running operation.

A common area of failure with active crane runways is the crane girder to building column connection. TheGantrex Tie-Back System is designed to provide a proven solution to this problem.

Spherical bearings allow girder end rotation, longitudinal and vertical movement without stressing thetie-back linkage.

A single linkage can transmit up to a 165 kip side thrust in tension or compression. Sizes are available to fit any girder and column configuration. The tie-back linkage assembly eliminates diaphragms and the associated maintenance from cracking. Designed to suit.

GIRDER TIE-BACKS FATIGUE ISSUES

Girders to Building Column Tie-Backs are Prone to Fatigue Failure. The main causes of fatigue are depictedbelow:

1.0Girder deflections of L/1000 or other chosen allowable bending limit between the support columns causestop flange compression. This deflection results in girder end rotation in the (Z) direction.

2.0Side thrust of the crane generated by trolley movement, crane skewing, and imperfect rail alignment causegirder end rotation in the (Y) direction.

3.0Vertical loading of the crane directly above the girder column support will cause compression of this supportrelative to the building column in the (X) direction.

Dynamic loading on the crane girders results in eventual fatigue failure of standard tie-backs in the threeaxes (X,Y,Z). A flexible bearing tie-back is called for to eliminate this recurring problem. Please refer to thefollowing standard mounting brackets and sizing sections while completing the application data sheet.

TIE-BACK ASSEMBLY MOUNTING BRACKETS

The most common tie-back assembly configurations are illustrated below. Assembly 1 includes shim platesat the column face connection to compensate for variations in the distance between the girder and column.Assemblies 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be designed for either bolting or welding to the column.

GANTREX can normally design and fabricate custom assemblies based on one of our standard illustratedconfigurations. If none of these standard assembly configurations are practical, GANTREX will develop aspecial assembly to meet your specific application.
