When do two drives connected to common load are breaking shaft?

When do two drives connected to common load are breaking shaft?

A shaft will break only if sudden braking occurs in one drive or the load. Other wise the motors should share the load or will overload one. Differnce in speed will never happen since both motors are connected to the same load. Only the load sharing will differ and this will not break any shaft.

How long does it take for a 200 hp motor shaft to fail?

Photo 5 shows a 200 hp, 1180 RPM motor shaft that failed in less than a day. No progression marks means the fatigue load was constant. The instantaneous zone is relatively large, indicating the shaft was heavily loaded.

Can a motor be connected to the same load?

Differnce in speed will never happen since both motors are connected to the same load. Only the load sharing will differ and this will not break any shaft. In any case, a good mechanical a design should shear the key or cotter pin and certainly not break the shaft.

What happens if you have rust on your drive shaft?

The rust will not affect the shaft itself, but the problem kicks in when the rust gets to the seals and damages the needle bearings inside. When this happens, you have a serious problem because the shaft joint can break at any point and you’ll end up postin photos on the internet when getting lost on a secondary road.

What is a drive shaft issue?

Turning Issues. A drive shaft problem can prevent your vehicle’s wheels form turning properly. You may notice that the wheels hesitate when you turn a corner. You may feel resistance from the tires when making sharp turns or U-turns. You might also experience parking problems while trying to maneuver the wheels to turn into tight spaces.

What causes a pump shaft to have a derate factor?

Misapplication: Ignoring manufacturer guidelines will lead to shaft issues. Many pump shafts have a derate factor if the pump is driven by an engine in lieu of an electric motor or steam turbine due to the intermittent versus continuous torque.

What does it mean when your drive shaft does not rotate?

You might also experience parking problems while trying to maneuver the wheels to turn into tight spaces. A U-joint, or universal joint, that moves too much or does not rotate at all can indicate a drive shaft problem. To inspect the U-joint, set the parking brake and shift the vehicle into neutral.

What causes a vibration in the drive shaft?

Vibration. Severe vibrations can also indicate a bad tire; however, vibrations from tire problems usually happen during acceleration, whereas drive shaft problems cause vibration when the vehicle is moving or stationary.
