Rack Gear Repair On Bucyrus Model 1570W Dragline
This Rack Gear Segment was found to be cracked in the roots of three adjacent teeth. The worst of these cracks extended almost completely across the width of the gear along the root of the tooth, thru the 4 ½” thickness of the rim, and down the inside wall 10”. This crack severed over 50% of the cross sectional area of the gear rim. The cracking in the roots of the two adjacent teeth was similar to the worst crack but to a lesser degree. The total cracking at these three locations was found to be approximately 58”.

Repair of Cracked Pintel on Large Dragline
The Pintel of this dragline was found to be cracked circumferentially around a line immediately above the floor of the pan of the dragline. The cracking extended approximately 1/3rd around the circumference of the Pintel and completely thru the 7” wall thickness.

Repair of Trunnion/Head on a Ball Mill
The Trunnion and Head on this Mill was a one piece casting. It became badly eroded when product leaked behind the trunnion liner and raced around the I.D. until it eroded nearly thru the 5” thickness of the trunnion wall. When the remaining thickness reached ¾”, the trunnion broke completely off. Our repair consisted of converting the one piece trunnion/head design to a two piece configuration. The head was machined to receive the new trunnion which was attached with METALOCK and METALACE and with a series of high strength custom bolts.

The Trunnion on this Ball Mill became severely eroded by product racing around the I.D. of the Trunnion in the same manner as the the Mill Presented above. In this case the trunnion was cracked but was not broken off. Due to time constraints the Customer chose a temporary repair option.

Cracked Gear Case on Coal Pulverizer
The Gear Cases on Combustion Engineering Raymond Type Bowl Mills (RP3 Models) with bowl sizes of 80” or more are highly subject to cracking. These cracks occur At 2 specific locations as described in the following slides. The cracking in these gear cases can be readily repaired during a normal overhaul outage with the techniques shown below.

Stress Analysis of Cracked Walking Eccentric on Large Dragline
This is an example of how powerful computer modeling is for evaluating design and cracking problems. We were asked to study the cracking problem in the walking eccentrics that are found on many large draglines. Part of this study was to develop a computer finite element stress model of a typical eccentric. To properly simulate the loading on the eccentric we had to include in the model the whole walking mechanism. The following slides show this model and the results that can be obtained with this powerful analysis tool.
