Safety of mining machinery drives – selected issues

Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 531, Issue 3

Abstract

The machines used in contemporary mining work under extremely demanding environmental and working conditions, especially when variable loads occur during the mining and transport. This causes a dynamic load occurrence, particularly influencing the mechanical subunits of the machine drive system; the dynamic loads negatively affect the durability, reliability, and security of its use. Counteracting the negative results of the mutual dynamic interactions between the parts of the machine drive is helped by the application of appropriate methods and measures leading to diminished transferred dynamic loads. The specifics of the working conditions in mining machines causes high dynamic loads during electrical or mechanical starting. We present models of torsionally flexible couplings applied in mining machines having a reduction of the dynamic loads occurring during stabile work as a target.
