High-voltage circuit breakers are mechanical switching devices which connect and break current circuits (operating currents and fault currents) and carry the nominal current in closed position. As a result of multi-running, the shaft sleeve in operation mechanism could slip and even strip from the shaft at the hinge joint, which decreases the system reliability. In this work, investigations on ...

In a trochoidal-type machine, the rotor and chamber will be in direct contact when apex seals arc removed. The reliability and efficiency of the machine will depend on the magnitude of these contact forces. In this paper, a finite element model that simulates the planetary rotation of a rotor inside a chamber is developed. The model is then used to analyze contact forces between rotor and chamb...

The problem faced by the Slap Strap Making Business Group is that process of making slap ropes still manual using a hand drill. This business group experienced many problems when methods, such as results twisting slapping rope were not uniform and loose. second obstacle labor requires lot manpower for spinning process. last machine there concern electricity supply will be able to meet because i...

The vibration analysis of rotating machinery can give an indication of the condition of potential faults such as unbalance, bent shaft, shaft crack, bearing clearance, rotor rub, misalignment, looseness, oil whirl and whip and other malfunctions. The diagnostics of rotor faults has gained importance in recent years. Many papers in the literature have dealt with single faults but normally, more ...

This paper presents characteristics and solutions to some practical problems concerning the new digital Generalized Indirect Multispeed Method (GIMSM), for measurement of transient electrical and shaft torques occurring in a complex serial multimachine AC drive system. The method indirectly includes torsion and internal machine and shaft damping. It is based on the measurement of the transient ...

Abstract: Recently, Vernier permanent magnet (VPM) machines, one special case of magnetic flux-modulated (MFM) machines, benefiting from their compact, simple construction and low-speed/ high-torque characteristics, have been receiving increasing interest. In this paper, the Vernier structure is integrated with an axial-flux PM machine to obtain the magnetic gear effect and produce an improved ...

Real-time monitoring of torque in a rotating shaft is not easy to implement with technologies such as optic fiber sensors or strain gages. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors are wireless and passive and can be used to monitor strain in moving parts. Commercial solutions (sensors, antennas and interrogation unit) can easily be purchased from some companies; however, they are not customized and ...

In condition monitoring of low speed rolling element bearings (REBs), traditional techniques involving vibration acceleration may not be able to detect a growing fault due to the low impact energy generated by the relative motion of the components. This study presents an experimental evaluation for incipient fault detection of low speed REBs by using an acoustic emission (AE) sensor and an acce...

Trains including reciprocating machines are subject to the most varied and often most severe torsional disturbances in comparison to other machinery classes. If crankshaft or rotating component failures occur as a result of shaft torsional oscillations, the consequences can be catastrophic. In this paper a new comprehensive model and solution method using analytical formulations are developed t...
