  • Crosshead Bearing Design Meets New Challenges
    Royal Belgian Institute of Marine Engineers Crosshead bearing design meets new challenges Proposed improvements to crosshead bearings rely on new materials and processes by Doug Woodyard ew approaches to bearing materials, bearing design and production methods for low speed engines are driven by N higher firing pressures. Bearings need to be engineered to balance load capability with the tribological requirements of the application. The crankshaft of a two-stroke, low speed engine is connected to the piston via a connecting rod, crosshead and piston rod. Crosshead bearing movement is solely oscillating and the load vector is always directed downward; reliable hydrodynamic lubrication and oil supply thus become difficult to ensure. One solution is for hydrostatic lubrication with an oil pressure of around 12 bar in specially created oil pockets. The crosshead pin is thereby raised briefly at each revolution to ensure the oil supply. Two different crosshead bearing designs and lining materials are currently used: either a single lower bearing shell or a divided lower bearing shell, depending on the engine size. The common lining materials are aluminium-based A1Sn40 and whitemetal-based HM07. Future crosshead bearing designs must be robust and combine a high safety margin with high performance, Austrian bearing specialist Miba advises, requiring bearing designs based on A1Sn40 linings to be further improved. Extra wide lower crosshead shells rather than divided designs are proposed for long-stroke engines with a minimum bore of 400mm. Miba's new lower crosshead bearing design, termed a Patch-Work-Bearing, is based on a tri-metal configuration of steel-aluminium-tin 40-Synthec for Tier II engine platforms.

  • Crosshead Monitoring Users’ Group Conference 2018 Crosshead Monitoring Glyn Learmonth Equipment Analyst, Windrock
    Crosshead Monitoring Users’ Group Conference 2018 Crosshead Monitoring Glyn Learmonth Equipment Analyst, Windrock 1 2018 Users’ Group Conference Summary This is a discussion on using both crank angle data, spectral data and time waveform review to monitor reciprocating machinery crossheads. It is an expansion of the previously discussed monitoring techniques from Warren Liable. The techniques were applied to main bearings to evaluate their health. The techniques when applied over time can help to increase an analysts understanding on the crosshead condition, and with careful review make better more informed calls on machinery health. 2 2018 Users’ Group Conference Brief timeline of reciprocating impact analysis • Previous paper written by Warren Laible “Early Detection of Connecting Rod Bearing Impact Vibrations in High Speed Industrial Gas Engines” – 2011 GMRC & WRI Users group • When the bearing material and the crankshaft crankpin journal come in contact with each other in the absence of an effective oil cushion, an impact occurs which generates a resonant ringing of the impacted parts. • When rod bearings knock, the impact event frequency is 2 times RPM (CPM). • The “ringing” frequency is usually in the 2.5 KHz to 5 KHz range (150,000 to 300,000 RPM (CPM). • Use acceleration measurements for early detection and trending of the impacts. • When velocity amplitudes increase because of a rod bearing knock, severe damage is occurring. • Oil analysis may help determine the extent of damage and the components that are affected (bearing or bushing). 3 2018 Users’ Group Conference Vibration vs. Crank-angle Display Overview 4 2018 Users’ Group Conference Crank Phased Data With Cylinder Mechanical Events BDC and TDC Main bearing impacting 5L TDC C Y L E V E N T S 5 2018 Users’ Group Conference FFT – Acceleration data Identification of impacting in FFT spectrum Wide bottomed, bell shaped curve 3.198 KHz 191,880 CPM 6 2018 Users’ Group Conference The long and short of it Why do I need 4 points at the same location.

    Computer Aided Machine Drawing Assembly Drawing Instructor: Mohamed Abdou Mahran Kasem, Ph.D. Aerospace Engineering Department Cairo University Assembly Drawing • A machine is an assembly of various links or parts. • It is necessary to understand the relation between the various parts of the unit for the purpose of design and production. • An assembly drawing is one which represents various parts of a machine in their working position. • These drawings are classified as design assembly drawings, working assembly drawings, sub-assembly drawings, installation assembly drawings. Assembly Drawing - Design assembly drawing is an assembly drawing made at the design stage while developing a machine. It is made to a larger scale so that the required changes or modifications may be thought of by the .appearance (جمالي) designer, keeping in view both the functional requirement and aesthetic - Working assembly drawing are normally made for simple machines, comprising small number of parts. Each part is completely dimensioned to facilitate easy fabrication. - A sub-assembly drawing is an assembly drawing of a group of related parts which form a part of a complicated machine. Thus, a number of such sub-assembly drawings are needed to make a complete unit. - An installation assembly drawing reveals the relation between different units of a machine, giving location and dimensions of few important parts. Assembly Drawing – Examples Box حشو Engine Parts – 1 Stuffing Function: - It is used to prevent loss of fluid such as steam, between sliding or turning parts of machine elements. - In a steam engine, when the piston rod reciprocates through the cylinder cover; stuffing box provided in the cylinder cover, prevents leakage of steam from the cylinder.

Diagnostic – torsional vibrations of crankshaft, signals, which may be useful in diagnosing of mechanism – axial vibrations of crankshaft, elements are enumerated. The choice of taking the – torque, crankshaft free end as a point of diagnostic signals – angular velocity/acceleration of crankshaft. permanent measurement is justified.

There is pointed out mechanism is also given in time changing temperature the possibility to increase the diagnosis accuracy made by fluctuations of kinematics pairs elements and in changes of measurements on the free end of crankshaft. Attention is solid particles content in lubricating oil as well as in the drown to the necessity of considering dynamical content of oil mist in the crankcase. Such information is characteristics of machine unit in process of inference about more connected with the intensity of wearing process than the technical condition of the piston-crank mechanism with effects of wear.
