Examination of the causes of a bucket wheel fracture in a bucket wheel excavator

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt to determine the causes of the bucket wheel shaft fracture has been made, and the character of changing loads and their maximum amplitudes has been determined by performing measurements on the excavator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the axle fracture of the bucket wheel excavator

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the causes of bucket wheel axle fracture and showed that improper maintenance and inadequate elimination of axis misalignment of the hollow shaft and the wheel axle are the main causes of failure and axle fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the drive shaft fracture of the bucket wheel excavator

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the FEM analysis of effects of the cantilever type of support of the planetary gearbox and stress concentration at the point of support due to inadequate finishing, which caused the initial crack.
