FEATURES OF LIFE PREDICTION FOR SPIROID GEARS OF MACHINE DRIVES UNDER VARYING LOADING CONDITIONS
The authors study the method of life prediction for spiroid gears in drives of cable-handling units of electric loaders. The method is based on taking into account specific operating conditions of electric loaders and, as a consequence, loading conditions of cable-handling units. The results of life prediction using this method allow more accurate forecasting of spiroid gear-motor life at the design stage, inclusive of loading conditions and operating conditions of electric loaders.
