Axial Thrust Measurement in Vertical Turbine Pump
Engineering Dynamics Incorporated (EDI) was requested to help perform an axial load test on a vertical water pump. Since commissioning, the pump experienced accelerated bearing and shaft wear. There was concern that problems might be due to up-thrust resulting in a...
Monitoring Cooling Conveyor Torque
Engineers at a chocolate factory in Chicago, Illinois had an expensive problem with one of their cooling conveyors. Trays loaded with hot confections were moved through a series of air cooling tunnels by the conveyor. Each tunnel section had an independent length of...
Troubleshooting Overloads at Hot Strip Mill
Bethlehem Steel, Sparrows Point, MD - Plant engineers had deduced that sporadic torque overloads on a rolling stand in the hot strip mill were causing breakdowns of the expensive drive system. What the engineers didn't know was why. Was it a function of the width or...
Increasing Process Throughput Of Paper Machine
International Paper Company - Plant personnel were not able to run the year-old paper machine at full speed. Either the two drive motors were not producing the rated horsepower or the process required more horsepower than the drives could produce. Motor current...
Diagnosing Rolling Mill Performance Problem
IPSCO Steel, Axis, Alabama - A rolling stand at IPSCO Steel consistently under-performed - it was unable to reduce six-inch thick slabs by the 1.25 inches desired. Engineers suspected the drive motors might be the cause. Before making this claim to the motor...
Measuring Actual Torque on Automotive Stamping Press
Nissan Motors, Smyrna, TN - Repetitive breakdowns of the transfer drive (moves parts through) on a stamping press were restricting production. The press manufacturer said the machine was designed for 18 strokes per minute but running it faster than 10 spm caused drive...
