Description
High-voltage industrial plants encounter voltage drops when using undersized traverse drives. The JET MT100-4 1Ton Electric 2 Speed Trolley moves 2000-pound loads across 460-Volt plant monorails without drawing excessive current. Sized for manufacturing facilities, this carriage delivers high reliability. It cannot negotiate beam track curves tighter than 39 inches without wheel flange pinch.
The structural housing features 3/8-inch rolled carbon steel plates that preserve axle alignment under asymmetric load stress. A 460-Volt induction motor links to a sealed helical gearbox lubricated with synthetic oil, dumping friction heat during intensive transit runs. Hardened steel wheels feature induction-treated crowns that endure continuous contact with abrasive mill-scale track steel. Precision ball bearings reject ambient atmospheric dust, preventing bearing drag during continuous operation.
High Voltage Monorail Drive Specifications
Plant lines transfer heavy machine components between fabrication cells. Dual motor speeds combine brisk transport with careful workstation positioning.
- 460-Volt 3-Phase motor minimizes shop amperage draw while delivering steady torque under 2000-pound loads.
- Preset travel settings of 39 and 78 FPM balance cycle speed with positioning precision.
- Universal machined wheels ride balanced on standard S-beams and wide-flange I-beams.
- Oil-filled helical gear case suppresses mechanical gear tooth chatter under continuous plant use.
- Integrated mechanical drop lugs cradle the track flange if wheel axle bearing failure occurs.
- Heavy rubber face bumpers absorb rail stop shock to protect internal gear teeth.
- Adjustable central suspension pin adapts to beam flange widths from 3 to 8 inches.
Electrical Telemetry Dynamometer Bench Data
Bench load testing at 460 Volts 3-Phase measures 1.2 Amps while traversing a 2000-pound load at 78 FPM. Helical gearbox sump temperatures reach 138°F after 90 minutes of continuous back-and-forth cycling in 75°F ambient air. Sound pressure output tops out at 70 dBA measured 4 feet from the drive motor. Stopping distance measures 4.0 inches on dry structural steel. The electric motor delivers steady 1725 RPM without thermal trip faults under continuous 40 percent duty cycles across heavy overhead runways.
Rigging Safety Application Work Boundaries
Never connect this 460-Volt traverse motor to 208-Volt or 230-Volt circuits because immediate electrical stator burnout will result. Do not buy this carriage for outdoor shipyards exposed to saltwater spray without installing additional weather protection. Off-center side pulling bends suspension hanger pins and wears wheels.
- Check motor winding resistance with a megohmmeter every 6 months to detect electrical insulation degradation.
- Verify side plate clearance measures 1/8-inch wider than track flanges during regular 30-day safety checks.
- Drain and refill the drive gearbox with industrial SAE 90 lubricant every 12 operating months.
Manufacturer Warranty In Box Manifest
