Regarding equipment fixation
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: How should the equipment legs be placed on a steel platform? How to fix it? How are the bolts fixed? This post was last edited by Xiaobengdou on 2009-3-30 22:23]
The poster can weld a pad of appropriate size under the straight legs of each device, then drill several bolt holes in the pad, allowing the devices to be fixed to the steel platform using bolts. If the thickness of your steel platform is not very great and the equipment is heavy, in order to secure it better, you can also weld several steel ingots at the points on the platform where the equipment is to be fixed, so as to enable bolted connection with the shims at the bottom of the straight legs.
The beam should still serve as the foundation, with tie beams added between them to ensure that the loads are distributed across the main beams. Please correct me! !
I also think that bolts should be used to secure the beams, but the size of those beams should be determined by the structural engineering team through calculations. I’m not sure exactly how these bolts are connected to the beams. When providing requirements to the structural engineering team, should I specify the positions of the bolts and the height at which they should protrude, just as is done for tower-type structures?
Can expansion bolts be used for the bolts that run through the beams?
It should not be supported directly on the beam; a pad plate should be placed on the beam
The platforms on which equipment is typically installed are usually quite large, and their construction requires steel beams (the span of the beams is determined first based on the position of the equipment legs). The legs of the equipment can first be fitted with steel plates of appropriate size, which are then placed on the steel beams. Welding or bolting is acceptable; the main consideration is stress.
It is important to ensure that the equipment legs are placed on the main beams or secondary beams
5th floor: Can expansion bolts be used for the bolts passing through the beams? ----It seems that expansion bolts are not generally used. 4th floor: When I set conditions for the structural engineering team, is it sufficient to specify the bolt positions and the height at which the bolts should protrude, just like in the case of tower-type equipment? ----- That’s right.
Additionally, it should rely on the main and secondary beams for support, and there should be a separation gap from the platform to prevent resonance. Especially rotating equipment.
I would like to ask how to set the separation joint?
