In mining and heavy industry, overhead cranes are essential for lifting and moving heavy loads. At the heart of these…
Intermediate shafts are a vital part of gearboxes used in mining machinery, such as conveyor drives, crushers, and hoists. They transfer torque between input and output shafts, often under high loads and variable conditions. Designing these shafts requires careful calculation to ensure they resist bending, torsion, and fatigue stresses.
Crane tracks are subject to complex forces, including torsional stress, lateral loads, and dynamic weight shifts. Poor design can lead to uneven load distribution, track misalignment, and premature wear. This blog explores torsion effects, force distribution challenges, and best design practices to enhance stability and operational efficiency.
