Mechanical Engineering / Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) MS Project Presentation by Mr. WASEEMAKRAM MOHAMMED DATE: December 2, 2024 TIME: 2pm-4pm LOCATION: Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/96829665890?pwd=XnPY9KQmOnsyiEqQYR1o9RP5byJsQX.1 Meeting ID: 968 2966 5890 Passcode: 977641 TOPIC: CATSED OIL SEALER BLOCK USED IN MINING EQUIPMENT WITH CAM PROFILE ABSTRACT: Casted oil sealer blocks function by creating a tight seal between moving components, preventing the leakage of lubricants. This ensures that the machinery operates efficiently by reducing friction and wear. Additionally, they help to protect internal components from contaminants like dust and debris, extending the lifespan of the equipment, which can cause costly damage to the machine. The casted oil sealer block is designed to ensure a tight seal in mining equipment, preventing oil leaks and maintaining optimal performance. Its cam profile enhances the sealing efficiency by providing a precise fit and improved durability in harsh mining conditions. Cam sealers are used to prevent dust from entering mining equipment, and over time, the frictional wear of the cam sealer can lead to a decrease in its effectiveness. It is important to monitor cam sealers for signs of frictional wear and replace them, when necessary, to maximize the effectiveness of the mining equipment. The present work focused on structural stability of cam sealer with different materials made of gravitational casting. SS316 and H13 are materials considered noncorrosive metals for many applications of mining. As we know, the lubrication can control the heat fluxes and internal temperatures of the seal body, most of the literature concentrates on the top load digging forces on the entire body. Rock digging is a different scenario, and the forces act in opposite direction. Considering these factors an increment load on the cam surface analyzed for deformed stability in profile. To avoid damage directly on base block oil injected hose the maximum load applied as 120 kg on sealer block cam profile. The materials were compared after analysis and the cost evaluation done in industrial production criteria for both the materials.
