Overhead transmission lines are an important part of a plant's material handling system, and its support track is one of the key components of the transmission line. 

I-beam is a commonly used material in the selection of support rails. In this article, we will introduce the role and advantages of I-beam and why I-beam is used as the support rail for overhead transmission lines.

Effects

1. Strong load-bearing capacity

I-beam is a high-quality steel with high strength and good rigidity, which is suitable for projects with large loads. In the supporting track of overhead transmission line, I-beam can effectively bear the weight of transmission equipment, materials and shelves to ensure the safe and stable operation of the transmission line.

2. Good anti-corrosion performance

The surface of I-beam is galvanized and has good anti-corrosion properties. During the use of overhead transmission lines, the support rails are susceptible to the influence of external environment, such as rain, sunlight, corrosive gases, etc.. The use of I-beam as the support rail can effectively prevent the corrosion of its surface and prolong the service life of the support rail.

3. Easy maintenance

I-beam has a simple structure, light weight, and is easy to process and install. In the process of maintenance of overhead transmission line, if the support rail needs to be replaced or repaired, using I-beam as the support rail can greatly reduce the maintenance cost and maintenance difficulty.

Advantages

1. Cost saving

Compared to other materials, I-beam is more economical and less expensive to use. In the material conveying system of a factory, the supporting track is an important but invisible part. Using I-beam as the supporting track can greatly reduce the project cost without affecting the quality and safety of the transmission line.

2. Wide range of application

I-beam is a commonly used construction material that is easily available in the market. At the same time, it has a wide range of application and can be used in many different scenarios, such as large factories, warehouses, docks, shipyards, etc. The use of I-beam as the support rail for overhead transmission lines can meet the use requirements of different scenarios.

3. High Reliability

I-beam is a high-strength, high-hardness material with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, which can withstand high-strength loading and wear in the support track of overhead transmission line to ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission line.

4. Light weight and easy to install

Compared with other materials of support rails, I-beam is lighter in weight, while its structure is simple and easy to process and install. In the installation of overhead transmission lines, the use of I-beam as a support rail can greatly reduce the installation difficulty and engineering costs and improve construction efficiency.

Maintenance

• 1. Regularly check the surface of the support rail for wear and corrosion, and promptly remove the accumulated dust, dirt and other impurities.

• 2. Avoid the support track being hit or pressed hard to prevent it from deformation or damage.

• 3. Pay attention to safety measures during the maintenance of the support rail to prevent safety accidents.

• 4. regularly apply anti-corrosion paint to protect the surface of the support rail and extend its service life.

• 5. If you need to replace the support rail, you need to choose the same type and specification of I-beam to ensure its quality and stability.

In the electrical system of the overhead transmission line, the support rail is an indispensable part. Using I-beam as the support rail can ensure the safety and stability of the transmission line, while reducing engineering costs and maintenance difficulties. In the process of daily maintenance, attention needs to be paid to the maintenance of the support track, timely detection and treatment of problems to ensure its normal operation.
