Conveyor systems are the type of mechanical systems that allows materials to transport from one place to another. There are four main elements in a screw conveyor. Drive Unit Motor Auxiliary Equipment Control Unit Drive Unit The drive unit controls the speed of the electrical machine by changing the current and the frequency. Because, in…
Slider-crank mechanism is linkage four bar link mechanism that use in certain type of engines, pumps and some other engineering mechanisms. This is one of the important mechanism in machine dynamics. The function of a slider crank mechanism The main function of a slider crank mechanism is conversion of rotational motion into linear motion. The…
When designing new machines, stress analysis is one of the major factors that design engineers consider. Otherwise, the machine is more likely to be fail. However, the most non-engineers, do not really care about calculations. And they design the product with higher assumed values. However, in the economical perspective, it’s not that effective. Simply, stress…
Shaft Power Equation To calculate the power of a shaft, you need to multiply the torque of the shaft by it’s angular velocity. Average Shaft Power The average power is calculated by applying average values for the shaft power equation. Shaft Bending Stress The largest alternating and mean bending stresses are at the outside surface.…
SOLIDWORKS is a great software for designing 3D engineering models. To get the maximum effectiveness of the software, we have to manage the work space according to the project. In this article, we go through different tabs and windows of SOLIDWORKS to give you an understand about having the most effective works space. In every…
