Oscillation of overhung load of a right angled drive for stacker boom conveyor

Posted in: , on 2. Dec. 2023 - 19:14

Motor rating -90 KW

MOTOR GB base supported on a torque arm at motor end

GB and pulley shaft are connected through Rigid interference fit coupling halves.

The drive base is wobbling at a higher rate..Alignment is ok.there is no base deformation..Do any one have experienced such issues?

 

pls reply

Perhaps is due to runout on…

Perhaps is due to runout on low speed coupling, including fit etc.

I have observed ~ 20 mm movement at the torque arm, if not constrained.

Options to confirm may include:

1. Evaluate the movement's period etc, and compare to low speed angular speed, and/or

2. Rotate by hand, and inspect for movement.

 

If confirmed, the following may be options to control:

1. Evaluate to retained as is, if practicable e.g. additional loads etc are acceptable, or,

2. New/refit couplings etc, and/or rotate coupling halves to minimise runout etc.
