How To Disconnect THOMAS Coupling From Induction Motor Hub?

08/08/2016 by Leave a Comment

Hi,

This post I would like to share video how to disconnect or dis-engage THOMAS Coupling from motor hub during maintenance works.In this video,technician plan to replace new bearing for the motor due to abnormal sound detected from bearing.Normally in industry or chemical plant,Thomas Coupling is the one of common application to connect electric motor as a drive and pump as a rotary equipment for the process.

The main reason why Thomas coupling are used :-

  1. To transmit power from one shaft to another, efficiently and effectively.
  2. To accommodate slight shaft misalignment which develop in service.

Thomas coupling application also can protect our equipment from mechanical damage and misalignment. Below several protection when using Thomas coupling :-

1. Absorb shock, vibration and pulsations.

2. Decrease cross load on bearings.

3. Accept load reversals.

4. Minimize backlash. Read More

How It’s Work : SMC Auto Drain Functional and Operation

26/07/2016 by Leave a Comment

This time I would like to share about Auto Drain operational to discharge automatically water inside compressed air receiver tank.This equipment is very important to remove 80% of water contain in compressed air and to ensure our compressed air is dry and clean.Why we need the clean and dry compressed air in our system?The main reason is to ensure our pneumatic equipment or instrument fully operated and pro long a life span.If water contaminated our compress air system,piping or equipment that operated with compress air will rusty,jammed and clog with dirt.It’s can cause a breakdown and it loss to our operation cost.

Below is example of SMC Auto Drain Operational to remove out water inside receiver tank.We can see a lot of water came out to drainage when auto drain operated.You can image how much water can go through inside to air supply system and can damage our equipment and pipeline.Feel free to watch the video and please share,like or comment if you think it’s benefit.

Can a Water Pump Explode?

02/08/2013 by Leave a Comment

The answer must be “yes” .The centrifugal pumps in the pictures are all water pumps which exploded. The explosions did not occur because of any contamination or chemical reaction with something that was not supposed to be in the pump.

In fact, explosions like this have happened with very pure water – boiler feed water pumps, condensate pumps, and de-ionized water pumps. read more

Troubleshooting Electric Motors – Part 2

14/12/2012 by 2 Comments

This post is a continue from the troubleshooting electric motors part 1.As I mentioned on my last post, I will share information and guideline about electric motors breakdown.

Once it has determined that the motor is at fault, you can proceed to locate the problem with the motor. A troubleshooting guide outlines a comprehensive variety of motor problems.

Generally the categories are arranged according to symptoms, offering brief suggestions concerning what to look for when investigating motor failures and often providing advice on how to correct the problem once it has been identified. read more

Electric Motor Maintenance

10/12/2012 by Leave a Comment

As we know,motors is a common used for rotating equipment to make domestic and industrial operation more easier.In general,electric motor is reliable machine with minor maintenance require.But to ensure electric motors have a more life span and service life,we must perform periodical inspection and service and schedule it with proper arrangement.

With periodical inspection and services, we can reduce motor failure and minimize downtime for operation.Record all data and finding during inspection for our referral and also can perform diagnostic report.Normally periodical inspection for motor should be such as motor base condition,shaft alignment,bearing condition,motor temperature and belt tension or coupling position. read more

Controller method for automatic voltage regulator

20/08/2011 by 3 Comments

Basically automatic voltage regulator for generator have a 2 mode selection.It is with full automatic function and manual function.

I already discuss about AVR function and basic operation in my last post.Please refer to basic of automatic voltage regulator.i hope it can make a clear view and understanding about AVR function in generator.

This time i want share some information about controller method that commonly used for AVR for generator.For latest design of AVR,manufacture put a two(2) selection for AVR controller mode.It is Automatic and Manual mode. read more

Maintenance for low voltage circuit breakers

07/07/2011 by 1 Comment

Low circuit breaker normally operating at 600 volt AC and below.The common used types of  circuit breaker around the world such as molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) and Air circuit breaker ( ACB ).

This low voltage circuit breaker usually used for power distribution and sub power distribution at factory and general industry.It a combination with electrical and mechanical device to protect our electrical system from overload and over current matters.

IEE regulation stated a several condition for maintenance and services for circuit breaker.The main purpose is to make sure this circuit breaker in good condition and can activated when problem happen.It also for safety purpose for equipment and personnel. read more
