SYNOPSIS

This report deals with design and fabrications of pneumatic multipurpose presses, which is

used for fixing bearings of rotors in the shaft, bending and bend removing with the help of a

compressor.

Initially the shaft is held between two fixtures; top of the bearing is freely located on the

step in the shaft and the other one is placed on the bottom fixture. As one of the bearing

(located on the shaft step) is compressed, both the bearings are inserted in the shaft

simultaneously as the top fixture moves down words. Similarly bending and bend

removing process also occurred.

 CHAPTER-2

INTRODUCTION

The pneumatic multipurpose press is used for fixing the bearings in the shaft by

holding the shaft between two fixtures. One of the fixtures is movable and the other is

fixed.

The pneumatic multipurpose press is also used to remove the bend in the shaft and

bend the shaft.

The principle of operation is the same as the conventional simple press. The

difference is only in the type of drive and the type of fixtures used.

The following points reveals why we have to make use of this type of press

Pneumatic multipurpose press reduces the manual work.

This type of machine reduces working time.

By using this machine the bearings can be inserted in the various lengths of shat (up

to 600mm).
 CHAPTER-3

SELECTION OF PNEUMATICS

Mechanization is broadly defined as the replacement of manual effort by mechanical

power. Pneumatics is an attractive medium for low cost mechanization particularly for

sequential or repetitive operations. Many factories and plants already have a compressed

air system, which is capable of providing both the power or energy requirements and the

control system (although equally pneumatic control systems may be economic and can be

advantageously applied to other forms of power).

The main advantages of an all-pneumatic system are usually economy and simplicity,

the latter reducing maintenance to a low level. It can also have out standing advantages in

terms of safety.
 CHAPTER-4

PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS AND ITS DESCRIPTION

The pneumatic bearing press consists of the following components to fulfill the

requirements of complete operation of the machine.

i. Pneumatic cylinder

ii. Hand operated valve

iii. Flow control value

iv. Regulator or pressure control valve

v. Pressure gauge

vi. Connectors and

vii. Hoses

1. CYLINDER:

The cylinder is a double acting cylinder one, which means that the air pressure

operates alternatively (forward and backward). The air from the compressor is passed

through the regulator which controls the pressure to required amount by adjusting its

knob. A pressure gauge is attached to the regulator for showing the line pressure.

Then the compressed air is passed through the directional control valve for supplying

the air alternatively to either sides of the cylinder. Two hoses take the output of the

directional Control valve and they are attached to two ends of the cylinder by means of

connectors. One of the outputs from the directional control valve is taken to the flow

control valve from taken to the cylinder.

The hose is attached to each component of pneumatic system only by connectors.

CYLINDER TECHNICAL DATA:

Barrel:

It is made of cold drawn aluminimum honed to 25mm.

Piston Rod:

M.S. hard Chrome plated

Seals:

Nitrile (Buna – N) Elastomer

End Covers:

Cast iron graded fine grained from 25mm to 300mm

Piston:

Aluminium.

Media:

Air.

Temperature Range:

0^c to 85^c

Cushions:

Adjustable standard of 400mm bore and above.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE:

Technical Data:

Size : ¼”

Pressure : 0 to 10 kg / cm2

Media : Air
Working Principle:

Double acting cylinder are controlled by 2 way 5 port two position valve as shown in

the fig. This valve has one inlet port (P), two cylinder ports (A and B), and two exhaust

ports (R and S). (See solenoid valve drawings)

In this position of the valve supply is directed to cylinder port no. A, with cylinder port B

connected to exhaust port R. The air supply is connected to cylinder port B; with cylinder

port A is connected to exhaust port R.

By operating the valve in two positions the cylinder piston can get the forward stroke

to pressing operation and return stroke to retrieve the work.

(ii) FLOW CONTROL VALVE:

(a) Technical Data:

Size : ¼”

Pressure : 0 to 10 kg / cm2

Media : Air

( b ) Purpose:

This valve is used to speed up the piston movement and also it acts as an one – way

restriction valve which means that the air can pass through only one way and it can’t

return back.
 By using this valve the time consumption is reduced because of the faster movement

of the piston.

(iv) REGULATOR (OR) PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE:

Specification:

1. Port size : ¼” BSP

2. Port size for pressure gauge : 1/8” BSP

3. Inlet pressure : 15 bar Maximum

4. Outlet pressure : 0.5 to 7 bar

5. Flow capacity : 650 NI/min*

6. Set pressure : 6 bar

7. Pressure drop : 1 bar

8. Mounting position : Vertical

* Flow capacity at 7 bar pressure

Pressure control valves may be designed to vary the pressure to a desired level within

limits and to maintain it at certain level.

The air is passed through the throttling orifice by adjusting its knob in the desired

direction.

By adjusting the knob we can get different pressure ranges so that the load applied by

the piston can also be varied.

V. PRESSURE GAUGE:

Technical data:

Port size : 1/8” BSP

Pressure range : 0 – 10 kg/cm2

Pressure gauges are usually fitted with the regulators. So the air pressure adjusted in

the regulator is indicated by the pressure gauge and also the pressure indicated in the

pressure gauge is the line pressure of the air taken to the cylinder.

(VI) CONNECTIORS:

In our pneumatic system there are two types of connectors used; one is the hose

connector and the other is the reducer.

Hose connectors normally comprise an adapter (connector) hose nipple and cap nut.

These type of connectors are made up of brass or Aliminium or hardened steel.

Reducers are used to provide inter connection between two pipes or hoses of

different sizes. They may be fitted straight, tee, “V” or other configurations. These

reducers are made up of gunmetal or other materials like hardened steel etc.

(VII) HOSES:

Hoses used in this pneumatic system are made up of polyrethane. These hoses can

with stand at a maximums pressure level of 10 kg/cm2.

The various sizes polyurethane tubes and its specifications are shown in the table 2.

I. DESIGN FOR PLATE FOR STABILITY IN DEFLECTION:

Deflection = Y = P / 48 E1

L = 300 mm

E = 2.08 x 10^5 N/mm^2

bd^3 (400) (30)^3

= ------ = --------------- = 9 x 10^3 mm^4

12 12

Calculating the load on the plate (P):-

Maximum load acting at the --- 430kgf (from the Manufacturers catalogue)

center of plate at 5Kg / cm^2

Maximum load acting at the center of 430 x 7

Plate at 7kg / cm^2 = -------------- = 602 kgf

Load distributed to the front half of 602

The plate = P = ----------

= 301kgf

P = 3010 N

=> Deflection of plate at maximum (3010)(300)^3(301kg)

=ν = -----------------------------------

(48) (2.08 x 1065) (9 x10^5)

 ν = 9.04 x 10^3mm

This deflection is under the safe limit. So the design is safe.

II. DESIGN CALCULATIONS FOR THE PILLAR:

CALCULATION FOR STABILITY IN BUCKLING

Long and slender shafts, axially loaded, should be checked for stability in bucking.

Rankine’s formula for calculation for stability in buckling should be used if the

slenderness ratio ‘s’ is in the range of 0-100.

We are know that,

Slenderness ratio ‘s’ = L/R

Where,

L = 90cm

D 4.2

R = -------- = -------------- 1.05cm

4 4

90

=> S = ---------- = 85.71

1.05

As the slenderness ratio for the pillar is with in the range of 20 to 100, Rankine’s

formula should be used for calculating the stability for buckling.

Rankine’s formulas for bucking:

Π d^2 σ c/4

Pcr = -------------------------

[L +k (L/R) ^2]

(Refer page 171: machine tool design hand book)

Where

“K” depends upon the material and condition.

For steel k = 1/25000 for both ends of column fixed.

D = 4.2cm

σ c = 22090 kgf/cm^2

L = 90cm

R = 1.05cm

Π (4.2) ^2 x (2200/4)

Pcr = --------------------------------

90 + 1/25000(90/10.5) ^2

30479.723

Pcr = ---------------
 90.29

Pcr = 337.58 kgf.

For the pillar based on its material and dimensions, the critical load for bucking that

would result in failure is calculated to be 337.58 kgf.

But as only a maximum load of 150.5 kgf is applied on each pillar while working, the

design is safe.

III. MINIMUM CLEARANCE CALCULATION FOR INSERTING BEARINGS:

Selecting a PSG 3hp T.E.F.C motor, the bearing and shaft sizes at driving and non-

driving ends are detailed below:

DRIVING END:

(SKF) Bearing:

Brg. No. = 6306

d = 30mm

D = 72mm (refer page 4.14 D.D)

B = 19MM

Tolerance = -10 microns

Shaft:

Size = 30j6 (From component drg.)

= 30+0.009
NON DRIVING END

Bearing:

Brg. No. = 6305

d = 25mm

D = 62mm

B = 17mm

Shaft:

Size = 25j6

= 25+0.009

To get the minimum clearance between the shaft and bearing, the shaft and bearing

should be of their maximum and minimum sizes respectively.

DRIVING END:

Minimum size of bearing = 30.000-0.01

= 29.99mm

Maximum size of shaft = 30.000+0.009

= 30.009mm

=> Clearance between shaft and

Bearing = 30.009 (-)

29.990
 -----------------

00.019mm

-----------------

Minimum clearance = 0.019mm

NON – DRIVING END

Minimum size of bearing = 25.000-0.01

= 24.99mm

Maximum size of shaft = 25.0000.0009

= 25.009mm

Clearance between shaft and

Bearing = 25.009

24.990

--------

00.019

--------

Minimum clearance = 0.019mm

Clearance of driving end + clearance of non driving end

Mean clearance = ----------------------------------------------------------------------

2
 0.019 + 0.019

= ---------------------------------

Mean clearance = 0.019mm

For the maximum size of the shaft and bearing for which the machine is designed the

minimum mean clearance (between the shaft and the bearing) is calculated to be 0.019 mm

or 19 micros. Even though the fit is a clearance one, the bearing cannot be mounted on the

shaft by hand force and also hammering would result in reduced life of the bearing. So, a

constant force should be applied for which the machine is designed to perform.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The pneumatic multipurpose press is used for fixing bearings in the shaft up to a

length of 600mm. In the pneumatic multipurpose press the main thing being the

pressure developed is done with the help of a compressor.

The air in that compressor is passed to the double acting cylinder through the

control valves. There are two control valves used in this press. One is pressure control

valve or regulator and another one is the flow control valve.

When the compressed air is passed to the pressure control valve, the required

pressure is obtained by adjusting its knob. When the air is passed to the flow control

valve, the speed of movement of piston is controlled by adjusting the knob. The

cylinder piston rod is connected to the top fixture.

A bottom fixture is fixed on the bottom plate by using ‘T’ bolts or hexagonal

bolts and nuts.

Bearing inserting procedure:

First one of the bearings is placed on the bottom fixture. Then the shaft is taken

and the other bearing is kept ion the step in the shaft. When the shaft is kept vertically

on the bottom fixture some portion of the shaft goes inside the bottom fixture.

At the same time the compressor is loaded to get the pressure required and the

hand operated valve is manually actuated from the neutral position to the input

position to move the piston. The top fixture in the piston had inserted to its required

position rod pushes the bearing which is placed on the shaft.

 When the bearing had inserted to its required position, there will not be any further

down ward movement; at the same time the entire shaft will move downward so that

the another bearing placed on the bottom fixture also gets inserted. Then the valve is

brought to the output position in which the air moves the piston upward and the shaft

is removed.

Bearing Removing procedure:

The shaft is kept vertically between the bottom fixture and top fixture. The bearing

which is removed is in the top of the fixture. The remaining portion of the shaft touches

the bottom fixture.

At the same time the compressor is loaded to get the pressure required and the

hand operated valve is manually actuated from the neutral position to the input

position to move the piston. The top fixture in the piston had inserted to its required

position rod pushes the bearing which is placed on the shaft. When the bearing had

removed to its required position, there will not be any further down ward movement.

Then the valve is brought to the output position in which the air moves the piston

upward and the shaft is removed.

 CHAPTER-7
AIR LEAKS

Air leaks are not hazardous, but they can be extremely waste full of power. In a

typical system as much as 10% of the power requirements at any period can be made

up of air leaking to waste.
