    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Год назад +35

      Because I didn’t have any tube. The time I’d spend ringing around suppliers finding the right size and someone who’d sell me 950mm instead of a full length. My time was better spent reusing the old.

      ​@@snowballengineeringI agree there mate, I would have used the old pipe too. Everyone's so quick to throw stuff away these days when a little persistency and skill can save stuff from the scrap heap.

      This job is 100% adequate, absolutely no need for a complete new roller so why would you need a whole new replacement 🙄

      ​@@derekblake9385because less job is to do a new piece than disassemble old one, but in case if you have no material it is reasonable decision

    Good repair, spot on welding on larger diameter, though if I may comment, larger root radi on shaft, and polishing to reduce likely initiation of cracks.
    Great video and photography, thanks for sharing.

    Good video, thank You.
    One minor thing that might be worth mentioning. When a shaft likes to snap off like that it is because it first developes a crack and then snaps off. Cracks like to start from sharp corners. From what I saw, You just created a sharp corner at exactly the place where the shaft likes to snap. Since You were already at the lathe it would not have been too difficult to create a radius instead of the sharp shoulder there is now,

  • @johnwarwick4105
    @johnwarwick4105 Год назад +2

    Good job going to thicker shaft, trick we found some years ago was to weld the end plates on the shaft on the inside only then weld into the rollers. No welds on the outside more applicable when welding stub shafts in the ends of tube rollers.

    • @leehotspur9679
      @leehotspur9679 Год назад

      The best way to do it ,the end plate supports the shaft weldment and stops the flexing stress on the weld itself Thicker the end plate the better as it acts as a hub giving support to the shaft

    @peters4067 Год назад +7

    Good video mate, a well thought out repair. That’s called a tail drum, and a head drum would have rubber lagging on it. A few things I’ll suggest if you’re ever doing a job like this again, drill and tap the ends of the shaft because you can screw in a lifting eye to help pull the drum through the conveyor belt when fitting. And always machine the shaft down to the desired size for a sweat fit for bearings, if the bearings just slide on they’ll not last as long (depending on the environment of course) I do maintenance on a quarry and work around conveyors all the time

    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Год назад +3

      They’re some good suggestions. Thanks! This is used for something to do with potatoes (not quite sure what) so it shouldn’t have as hard a life as in a quarry.

    • @bobhudson6659
      @bobhudson6659 Год назад +7

      Another suggestion. If you have the space and can adjust the ends to suit, on next job put a smooth radius on the transition where the 32mm is machined down to 25mm. As it is the sharp transition is an opportunity for shaft to crack again at this stress riser. As you have mentioned in answer to Peter's comment, this is used for something to do with potatoes. May not be as hard an environment as quarry, but as you are an engineer (I am not) you would be aware that cracking only occurs with flexing from load or where part is subject to vibrations which are long term and close to the natural resonant frequency of the item. Very difficult and expensive (meaning waste of time) to measure for those frequencies but radius will at least mitigate any crack starting. Retired mechanic/machinist in Land Down Under.

    Don't know if the pin goes all the way through, at the beginning of the video... but the welds aren't that great on the whole of the part. Proper preheat/blanket cooling should solve some of the issues with the thing I would imagine. But, turd welds, typically means, they didn't do proper welding protocols to ensure the parts weren't compromised when reassembling the previous repair.

    @Histandard2011 Год назад +1

    Would have the stub shafts have been stronger if you had turned the small are down and left a radius in the corner where the bar went back to full diameter. A shaft will most ofter snap if you have a square shoulder where a small diameter goes to a larger on. Also keep the weld only on the larger diameter of the stub shaft.

    I've repaired several of them, but that it by bore out a broken part by 10-20mm. Then removed rest. Use existing holes and fit new shaft. Then just centralise and weld. At my work I don't have a lot of time to repair parts , production is waiting so I'm utilising as most as possible old parts and use minimal effort and parts to repair. Good movie... to much work. That shaft will snap again if setup incorrectly on c/v.

    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Год назад +1

      Not really. If I had the material for a new tube in stock then yes. But by the time I’d spent finding a supplier to supply me with the right size tube that didn’t want to sell me a full 7.5meter length that I’d have no other use for. The less than an hour spent saving the old tube was definitely worth it.

  • @thecorbies
    @thecorbies Год назад +2

    Good morning.
    Well, a couple of things.
    1) I'm surprised, given the known previous fatigue point, that you didn't (appear to) put a small radius where you turned down to 25mm. I realise that the new situation doesn't weld right up to the plate, but it wouldn't have hurt. PLUS, it's generally good practice.
    2) The printing on both shirts is too big; especially the darker shirt. Personally, I would like maybe half that size. On the lighter grey shirt, the 3 logos at the bottom could be quite a bit smaller, (50%), and given that it's the back of the hoodie, the main logo could be a bit (~25%) smaller. Well, you asked.
    Regards Mark in the UK

    • @ianm1470
      @ianm1470 Год назад +2

      Hi Mark I was thinking the same after watching the video. If it wouldn’t interfere or obstruct say a pulley or bearing block I would have left a 1/4" radius to reduce any future stress or fatigue points. But he did a good job overall.

    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Год назад +2

      Yes, a radius would of been better but with the limited tooling I have at the moment I didn’t have one suitable. And I thought with the original roller lasting as long as it has with just a welded in shaft, it would be alright without.
