CRANK HANDLE CUTOUT
CONTACT ASSEMBLY
It disallows simultaneous power and manual
operation of point machine to protect staff
performing crank handling.
Ordinarily crank handle can not be inserted in
machine
Turing of crank handle key permits/ allows insertion
of crank handle in the machine.
Turning of crank handle key isolates the negative
power path of motor.
It comprise of
1. Crank handle cutout contacts
2. flap cover plate
3. Crank handle key
Crank handle cutout contacts

There are two sets of
contact
These contacts are
wired in negative path
of power supply to 2
motor.

Flap cover plate & key
controls the entry of crank handle in
the machine for manual operation
metal flaps attached to a lock
hangs/ placed in front of motor shaft
at the entry point of crank handle.
flap cover plate is displaced by
means of a crank handle key
The insertion and turning of crank
handle key
displace the flap cover plate to allow
insertion of crank handle

Feature of friction clutch
The friction clutch designed to
extend stroke (force) from motor to load (point)
if load is within Specified limit (700 Kg)
de-clutch (separate) motor and Load (point) if
load is more than Specified limit (700 Kg).
De-clutching of friction clutch can be adjusted to
suite Specified limit of load (700 Kg) by
loosening Or tightening spring.
Friction clutch require / needs an adjustment if
slipping current /obstruction current shall not be more
than 1.5 to 2 times of normal working current
difference between normal working current and
slipping current /obstruction current should not be less
than 0.5 Amps.
The friction clutch shall adjusted in workshop only (not
at site).
Parts of friction clutch
Friction clutch comprises of
Control disc
Lift out disc
Drive disc
Gear rim and slip rim
Shoe expansion (locking
plate)
Helical spring
Sequence of rotation of gear &disc
It is a circular disc
with(120mm) notch on
outer periphery
Edges of notch are vertical
Function of control disc are
Allow the top roller (roller Control disc outer view
A) to fall in side respective
notch at end friction clutch
rotation
Prevent upward movement
of top roller (lock the top
roller)
Studs for non trail able
block

Drive Disc
Drive disc is a Thick circular disc & has
Two projections on outer and inner periphery.
A shaft keyed in the center
Lock pawl and pinion fixed on one end of shaft
Lock pawl and pinion fixed at180 degree
opposite to one another.
A circular offset on outer periphery on which
gear rim rests
Two studs which engaged with non trailable
block.
A Small window to have access to friction clutch
adjustment nut.

CONTACT ASSEMBLY WITH SPRING LOADED ROLLERS
Contact assembly
comprises of two spring
loaded contact groups
which are fixed inside
the casting.
Function of the contact
assembly: - make and
break the sets of
contact.
One group Contains two
sets of contact fixed
side by side
Contact controls feed
(Power) to motor and
point indication relay

PARTS OF CONTACT ASSEMBLY
Making of contacts

Detection contacts
Making of Detection
contacts proves correct
setting and locking of
switches.
Detection contacts are
classified as Normal
detection contact (ND) and
reverse detection (RD)
contact.
ND contact make when
point correctly set and lock
in Normal.
RD contact make when
point correctly set and lock
in Reverse.
if point is not set correctly
and/ or not correctly locked
then both ND contact and
RD contact are remain in
open condition.
ND contact and RD contact
are used circuit of point
indication relay NWKR and
RWKR respectively.
Check for Correct setting and locking of point
Brass stripe
14 Check all grease nipples provided are in position Recommended type grease should be used
15 Check the setting of switches for having required amount of spring action.
16 Measure the voltage & current at motor terminals for both normal& reverse operations. These should
be within the specified limits according to the different types of point machines.
