Get to know Robbins 74 S – the new generation of our Robbins 70 series raiseboring machines. The Robbins 74 S is automation ready, has improved wear resistance, and is steadfast and efficient. This machine combines enhanced rig features with well-known functions to boost safety and overall performance. Automation functions, such as the automation ready pipe loader, semi-automatic drive head wrench and hydraulic cylinders, enhance precision and efficiency. Moreover, by increasing automation, the operator can be removed from high-risk areas ensuring a safer work environment. The machine’s new swivel design and protective cover over the drivetrain contribute to an extended lifespan of critical components by reducing wear and tear. Additionally, the drivetrain is equipped with a float box positioning indicator, increasing control of the treading process through continuous monitoring, resulting in smoother borehole walls and increased durability of the equipment. #Robbins74S #Raiseboring #MiningTechnology #InnovativeEngineering #WearResistance #epiroc

Rotor balancing wheel Rotor balancing, a key process for the smooth and efficient operation of rotating machinery, tackles the issue of uneven mass distribution. Unbalanced rotors cause damaging vibrations, noise, reduced efficiency, and premature wear on components. Balancing involves measuring and correcting these imbalances. Two main methods exist: Static Balancing: Used for rotors with minimal bending, it identifies and corrects imbalances through weight adjustments while the rotor is stationary. Dynamic Balancing: More comprehensive, it balances rotors at operating speed, accounting for bending that occurs during rotation. Proper balancing offers significant benefits: Reduced vibration leads to quieter operation, safer environments, and extended machinery life. Increased efficiency allows the machine to perform at its best. In conclusion, balancing rotor wheels is essential for ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of rotating machinery.

What is Rotor Balancing and Why is it Important?

### Types of Couplings. 1. *Rigid Couplings*: These are used when precise shaft alignment is required. They do not allow for any misalignment. Examples include sleeve or muff couplings, flange couplings, and clamp or split-muff couplings. 2. *Flexible Couplings*: These accommodate some degree of misalignment and can absorb shock loads and vibrations. ### Functions of Couplings 1. *Transmitting Power*: Couplings ensure that power from the driving shaft (such as a motor) is effectively transmitted to the driven shaft (such as a pump or compressor). 2. *Absorbing Misalignment*: They can accommodate slight misalignments between shafts, whether angular, parallel, or axial, thus protecting the machinery from damage. 3. *Absorbing Vibrations*: Couplings can absorb vibrations and shocks, which helps to reduce wear and tear on the connected machinery, leading to longer equipment life and reduced maintenance costs. 4. *Protecting Against Overloads*: Certain couplings can act as a safety device by slipping or disconnecting when the torque exceeds a certain limit, protecting the machinery from damage. 5. *Heat Isolation*: Couplings prevent the transfer of heat from one part of the equipment to another, which is particularly important in high-temperature applications. ### Applications of Couplings Couplings are used in various industrial and mechanical applications, including: - Conveyors - Pumps - Compressors - Generators - Motors - Gearboxes Each application may require a specific type of coupling to meet the operational demands and environmental conditions.

When you’re using pneumatic grippers in an application, you’re not betting on them to fail — but not all grippers are created equal. Flaws in construction can do anything from impacting the life cycle of your equipment to creating major maintenance headaches.
