Crawler travel gear is a type of heavy vehicle propulsion that is commonly found in tanks, excavators, and specialized off-road vehicles. They have an advantage over wheels when it comes to robust vehicle weight distribution over soft terrain, and some disadvantages as well. They can damage paved roads and have complex design so, considering the en...
Cast iron probably represents one of the most widely utilized constructive materials in our modern industrial world. This is due not only to the excellent mechanical and tribological properties, but also to a certain flexibility of the same. In fact, it can be produced in various types of metal alloy, which differ significantly in properties: from...
Belt conveyors play a significant role in the transport of bulk materials due to a number of advantages such as: high capacity, economy, safety and reliability. The belt conveyor for bulk materials was observed in this paper. In order to drive the belt conveyor, the power of the driving electric motor must overcome all the resistances that occur du...
The field of application of ZA27 alloy is very wide due to favourable combination of physical, mechanical and tribological properties. In automotive industry, it is used for the production of engine cylinders and pistons, engine blocks, plain bearings, pumps, brakes, etc. Composites based on ZA27 alloy were developed with the aim of obtaining mater...
Dry sliding wear behaviour of ZA27 alloy based hybrid composites, reinforced with silicon-carbide (SiC) and graphite (Gr) particles is analyzed in the paper. The objective was to analyze the influence of tested parameters (graphite content, contact load and sliding speed) on specific wear rate and to show which factor is dominant. Two hybrid compos...
Drive-in and drive-through accumulation racking systems are recommended for great amounts of goods with few various units. According to the "First In, Last Out" - FILO and "First-In, First-Out" - FIFO principle, the palletized load unit are stored into deep tunnels accessible by forklift trucks for handling operations. This allows exploiting as muc...

The composites samples based on ZA27 alloy were subjected to tribological tests and the observed results are presented in this paper. The samples (ZA27/5%SiC and ZA27/5%SiC/5%Gr) were obtained by compo-casting technique. Their wear behaviour was compared to the base alloy. The wear tests were done by using a block-on-disc tribometer under lubricate...
In practice, structures of pallet racks are characterized by very wide options of beam-to-column connections. The up to date part of the standard Eurocode 3 considers details for the design of connections. However, experimental determination of the joint properties in steel pallet racks is the most reliable process, since it takes into account an i...
The paper describes the wear performance of zinc-aluminium ZA27 alloy, reinforced with silicon-carbide (SiC) and graphite (Gr) particles. The compo-casting technique produced the composite samples. The tested samples were: ZA27 alloy, ZA27/5%SiC composite, and ZA27/5%SiC/3%Gr hybrid composite. A block-on-disc tribometer was used during wear tests u...
Powered roller conveyor is used as a segment of transport handling system within the warehouse. A model of this conveyor was developed using Autodesk Inventor Professional 3D CAD software. Selection of main elements, drive units and accompanying mechanisms was performed. Dimensions and parameters of the most important elements of the design (roller...
The aim of this paper is a numerical study of the connections that are established between main elements of the steel structure of pallet racks, frames and beams. Frames that lie in the vertical plane consist of two perforated columns linked together by a system of diagonal and/or horizontal bracing welded or bolted to the columns. Beams connect ad...
A 3D model of a construction tower crane was developed using SolidWorks software. Selection of main elements, drive units and accompanying mechanisms was performed. Dimensions and parameters of the most critical elements of the design were determined based on previous calculations, partly presented in the paper. In development of the model, the loa...
The bucket elevator with centrifugal discharge designed for transport of grains is analysed in the paper. Operation, main characteristics and major elements of bucket elevator are described in the paper. Essential elements of calculation of the drive mechanism are presented, bucket discharge type is adopted and main elements of transport device are...
The paper deals with the stress state analysis of the cycloid disc by using numerical and experimental methods for the most critical case of the meshing -
single meshing. Cycloid disc is the vital element of the cycloidal speed reducer - mechanical power transmission of the new generation with growing use
in industrial practice. 3D computer model...
Proper winding of the steel rope around the winch drum is great importance, mostly for: prolonging the service life of the rope, reduction of deformations of the body and the sides of the drum if the winding of the rope is multilayered, increasing of the safety factors, easier unwinding of the rope while lowering the load, even running of the drive...
High density storage solution is accumulation system recommended for great amounts of good with only few different units. Palletized units are stored into deep tunnels accessible by forklift truck. In this case, selectivity is sacrificed but the storage density is outstanding. In order to achieve total automatization, handling operations must be au...
In this paper analysis of stress and thermal-elastic-plastic strain of the drum is performed. Influence of modified thickness, yield stress and finite element model of welded joint between pipe and drum on assessment of the remaining lifetime of the drum in the thermal power plant is analyzed. Two analyses are compared. In the first, drum is modele...
