Voith Turbo
Voiths HPD punch drive is a culmination of 30 years of hydraulics experience combined with the advantages
of a servo drive. This drive technology
is ideally suited for a medium power
range.
The HPD is a versatile drive used in
punching and nibbling machines. The
transmitted force can be adapted individually to meet the specific operation
profile. When power requirements are
low, the HPD uses a partial load operation at high speed in order to achieve
high productivity. During punching or
forming, it automatically switches to
full load operation delivering up to 300
kN at any time and at any point of the
cylinder stroke. Despite its flexibility,
the HPD requires only 4 kW of power
at 600 strokes/min.
The functional principle of the HPD
is that of a closed loop hydraulic system without directional valves or servo
valves. The pump connects directly
to the cylinder allowing it to operate
as a hydrostatic gearwithout friction or wear. Together with the linear
cylinder, it is also virtually wear-free,

The C80 Series CNC controller made its European public debut
at the SPS IPC Drives show in Nuremberg, Germany, 22-24 November, 2016 on Stand 391 in Hall 7.
The most important feature of the C80 CNC CPU module and
iQ-R PLC combination according to Key Account Manager Frederik Gesthuysen, is the facility to manage complex production lines
with a single control platform. The advantages of integrating a
powerful CNC controller with our most advanced modular PLC,
the iQ-R, is clearly the performance gain you get from having both
devices communicating via a high speed bus; together they are
able to coordinate and manage a complete production line from
the robots and machine tools to the
HMIs and overhead displays. Fast data
management and perfectly synchronous operation not only speeds up
production, but can improve quality
and allow for more operations to be
packed into a smaller space, both of
which will increase profitability, he
said.
This is a major advantage for the
end user, but the benefit for automation system designers and installers is
just as great: using one programming
platform and components that are
designed to work together completely
removes any compatibility issues with
using controllers from multiple vendors.
The C80 CNC and iQ-R PLC offer a
range of benefits for automotive industry, where the original development work was carried out. Where
there are other gains to be made
however is with other complex automated manufacturing applications
that would otherwise have employed
several different CNC solutions and
controllers. Configured with up to 3
CPUs (21 part systems and 48 axes) for
example, the C80 is capable of controlling highly complex machines.

A Systematic Approach
In order for future rail projects to succeed, a systematic approach is necessary. It goes far beyond just a bearing
installation, according to Schaefflers
Bhat. Its no surprise that companies
like Schaeffler, Timken and SKF have
the engineering expertise and diverse
product catalog to reach this market.

play a significant role in these applications, Bhat said. Schaefflers X-life
bearings have extended rating life and
longer operating time through superior surface quality and optimized internal design which makes them suitable
components for rail. The company also
offers traction motor bearings that are
insulated to provide protection against
electrical currents.
Bhat added that Schaefflers anticorrosion coating and surface treatments offer several durability benefits
to bearings used in rail applications.
Imagine youre traveling on a light
rail in San Francisco which is very humid due to the moisture in the atmosphere. The bearings could get rusty
and begin breaking apart. This is where
an impact corrosion coating can protect the bearing and offer a greater lifecycle, Bhat said.
SKF offers journal bearing designs
for the global rail market that utilize
synthetic greases, low friction sealing
solutions, logarithmic roller profiles,
and polymer cage technology.
The culmination of these compo-
22

nents creates a bearing with lower operational temperatures and less wear,
which ultimately increases bearing life
and performance, Gerardi said.
Polymer cage technology offers a
safety factor not found in conventional
bearings.
In a situation where the bearing
may become starved for lubrication,
the polymer acts as a self-lubricating
DECEMBER 2016
component as it starts to melt, giving the train operator the extra critical
time it may need to bring the train to
a stop before catastrophic failure occurs, Gerardi added.
On the transit side, SKF offers turnkey solutions for non-drive axle assemblies on light rail vehicles and axlebox/
bearing solutions for most passenger
rail applications.
WWW.POWERTRANSMISSION.COM
FEATURE
Difficult drive system service found
on many rail platforms today requires
a robust cage and roller design. SKF
utilizes unique material and design
combinations to satisfy these harsh
requirements. Our patented INSOCOAT technology protects the bearing
from stray electrical current damage,
improving the overall life and performance of the bearings, motor, and gear
box, Gerardi said.
Timken developed its AP-2 Short G
bearing with rail applications in mind.
One of the high-focus areas for iron
ore miners seeking to optimize their
operations is the need to move larger
loads more efficiently along the rail
link that transports ore from mine to
port, said Alan Buchanan, chief engineer for rail, at Timken. The axle journal roller bearings are directly affected
by the increased car-loading desired by
operators. The bearings become one
of the critical rail wagon components
that influence the overall reliability of
the system.
Timken recognized that the current
roller bearing design could be enhanced and introduced the AP-2 Short
G bearing concept.
Timken developed an AP-2 bearing design with internal geometry specifically designed to reduce bearing
torque and increase bearing load rating
while maintaining the same envelope
space as the currently used short G
bearing. This bearing provides greater
levels of performance and reliability,
while allowing operators to continue
using the existing bogie, side frame,
and wheelset, Buchanan added.

were realized early on and introduced
into rail almost 20 years ago. Likewise,
the same condition monitoring technology we use in rail has seen much
success in other industries such as
wind energy, pulp and paper, and offshore oil platforms, said Gerardi.
Schaeffler exchanges information
about its bearing technology to other
industrial segments. For example,
insulated coating bearings can be applied to e-motors or wind generators.
We can apply the same knowledge to
bearings across a large range of industrial segments where temperature, corrosion, and environmental elements
play a role in determining the lifespan
of the equipment, Bhat said.

Mechanical guiding systems, such as crossedroller bearings, work well for most motion
control applications; however, when precision,
angular repeatability, and geometric performance (runout, straightness) are critical or
where submicron bearing rumble is problematic, air bearings are recommended. An air-bearing stage is a rotary or linear positioner that floats on a cushion of air, using one of several preload mechanisms, nearly
eliminating mechanical contact and thus wear, friction, and
hysteresis effects. Here are eight reasons why an air-bearing
stage might be the right choice for your application:

6.Minimal Maintenance
Surface averaging effect of an air bearing improves straightness / flatness of
motion and reduces high-frequency bearing rumble.
Because air bearings are wear-free, they generate virtually no particulates that can become airborne. This makes
them ideal for cleanroom applications like optics inspection,
wafer inspection, bio-pharma research, and flat-panel display inspection. For extremely clean applications, it is recommended that the air bearing operate using 99.9 percent
pure nitrogen.

High-Speed Operation
Synchronous belt drives are often used in high-speed applicationseven though V-belt drives are typically better
suited. They are often used because of their positive driving
characteristicno creep or slipand because they require
minimal maintenance, i.e.dont stretch significantly. A
significant drawback of high-speed synchronous drives is
drive noise. High-speed synchronous drives will nearly always produce more noise than V-belt drives. Small-pitch
synchronous drives operating at speeds in excess of 1,300 ft/
min (6.6 m/s) are considered to be high-speed.
Special consideration should be given to high-speed drive
designs, as a number of factors can significantly influence
belt performance. Cord fatigue and belt tooth wear are the
two most significant factors that must be controlled to ensure continued success. Moderate pulley diameters should
be used to reduce the rate of cord flex fatigue. Designing
with a smaller pitch belt will often provide better cord flex fatigue characteristics than a larger pitch belt. PowerGrip GT2
is especially well suited for high-speed drives because of its
excellent belt tooth entry/exit characteristics. Smooth interaction between the belt tooth and pulley groove minimizes
Smooth Running
Some ultrasensitive applications require the belt drive to operate with as little vibration as possible, as vibration sometimes has an effect on the system operation or finished manufactured product. In these cases the characteristics and
properties of all appropriate belt drive products should be
reviewed. The final drive system selection should be based
upon the most critical design requirements, and may require
some compromise.
Vibration is not generally considered a problem with synchronous belt drives; low levels of vibration typically result
from the process of tooth meshing and/or as a result of their
high tensile modulus properties. Vibration resulting from
tooth meshing is a normal characteristic of synchronous belt
drives, and cannot be completely eliminated. It can, however, be minimized by avoiding small pulley diameters and
instead choosing moderate sizes. The dimensional accuracy
of the pulleys also influences tooth meshing quality. Additionally, installation tension has an impact on meshing quality. PowerGrip GT2 drives mesh very cleanly, resulting in the
smoothest possible operation. Vibration resulting from high
tensile modulus can be a function of pulley quality. Radial
runout causes belt tension variation with each pulley revolution. V-belt pulleys are also manufactured with some radial

Drive Noise
Drive noise evaluation in any belt drive system should be
approached with care. There are many potential sources of
noise in a system, including vibration from related components, bearings, and resonance and amplification through
framework and panels.
Synchronous belt drives typically produce more noise
than V-belt drives. Noise results from the process of belt
tooth meshing and physical contact with the pulleys. The
sound pressure level generally increases as operating speed
and belt width increase, and as pulley diameter decreases.
Drives designed on moderate pulley sizes without excessive
capacity (over-designed) are generally the quietest. PowerGrip GT2 drives have been found to be significantly quieter
than other systems due to their improved meshing characteristic (Fig.1). Polyurethane belts generally produce more
noise than neoprene belts. Proper belt installation tension
is also very important in minimizing drive noise. The belt
should be tensioned at a level that allows it to run with as
little meshing interference as possible.
Drive alignment also has a significant effect on drive noise.
Special attention should be given to minimizing angular
misalignment (shaft parallelism). This assures that belt teeth
are loaded uniformly and minimizes side-tracking forces
against the flanges. Parallel misalignment (pulley offset) is
not as critical of a concern as long as the belt is not trapped
or pinched between opposite flanges. Pulley materials and
dimensional accuracy also influence drive noise. Some users have found that steel pulleys are the quietest, followed
closely by aluminum. Polycarbonates have been found to be
noisier than metallic materials. Machined pulleys are generally quieter than molded pulleys. The reasons for this revolve
around material density and resonance characteristics as
well as dimensional accuracy.

Operating Environments
Synchronous drives are suitable for use in a wide variety of
environments. Special considerations may be necessary,
however, depending on the application.
Dust. Dusty environments do not generally present serious problems to synchronous drives as long as the particles
are fine and dry. Particulate matter will, however, act as an
abrasive resulting in a higher rate of belt and pulley wear.
Damp or sticky particulate matter deposited and packed
into pulley grooves can cause belt tension to increase significantly. This increased tension can impact shafting, bearings
and framework. Electrical charges within a drive system can
sometimes attract particulate matter.
Debris. Debris should be prevented from falling into any
synchronous belt drive. Debris caught in the drive is generally either forced through the belt or results in stalling of the
system. In either case, serious damage occurs to the belt and
related drive hardware.
Water. Light and occasional contact with water (occasional
wash downs) should not seriously affect synchronous belts.

Belt Tracking
Lateral tracking characteristics of synchronous belts is a
common area of inquiry. While it is normal for a belt to favor one side of the pulleys while running, it is abnormal for
a belt to exert significant force against a flange, resulting in
Radiation. Exposure to gamma radiation can be detrimental to the compounds used in rubber and urethane synchronous belts. Radiation degrades belt materials much the
same way excessive environmental temperatures do. The
amount of degradation depends upon the intensity of radiation and the exposure time. For good belt performance, the
following exposure levels should not be exceeded:
Standard Construction: 108 rads
Non-marking Construction: 104 rads
Conductive Construction: 106 rads
Low Temperatures Construction: 104 rads

Pulley Flanges
Pulley guide flanges are necessary to keep synchronous belts
operating on their pulleys. As discussed previously in the
Belt Tracking section, it is normal for synchronous belts
to favor one side of the pulleys when running. Proper flange
design is important in preventing belt edge wear, minimizing noise and preventing the belt from climbing out of the
pulley. Dimensional recommendations for custom-made or
molded flanges are included in tables dealing with these issues. Proper flange placement is important so that the belt is
adequately restrained within its operating system. Because
design and layout of small synchronous drives is so diverse,
the wide variety of flanging situations potentially encountered cannot easily be covered in a simple set of rules without finding exceptions. Despite this, the following broad
flanging guidelines should help the designer in most cases:
Two-pulley drives. On simple two-pulley drives, either
one pulley should be flanged on both sides, or each pulley
should be flanged on opposite sides.
Multiple-pulley drives. On multiple-pulley (or serpentine) drives, either every other pulley should be flanged on
both sides, or every pulley should be flanged on alternating
sides around the system.
Vertical shaft drives. On vertical shaft drives, at least one
pulley should be flanged on both sides, and the remaining
pulleys should be flanged on at least the bottom side.
Long span lengths. Flanging recommendations for small
synchronous drives with long belt span lengths cannot easily
be defined due to the many factors that can affect belt tracking characteristics. Belts on drives with long spans (generally
12 times the diameter of the smaller pulley or more) often
require more lateral restraint than with short spans. Because

CORRECTION AND
UPDATE
The article An Open-and-Shut
Case: Greases for Gear Applications,
by Dr.-Ing. Johann-Paul Stemplinger,
appeared in the September 2016
issue of Power Transmission Engineering. Dr. Stemplinger, who wrote
the paper when he worked for FZG,
has been, since January 2016, Manager Transmission Testing for Audi
AG in Ingolstadt, Germany, and this
information was not included in his
biographical sketch that appeared
with the article. We apologize for
this oversight.
In addition, wed like to share with
you the following brief description
of FZG and its work:
FZG AN OVERVIEW
The Institute for Machine Elements, perhaps better known as
the Gear Research Centre (or quite
simply FZG) is an integral part of
the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universitt
Mnchen in Germany. Founded in
1951 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. E.h. Gustav
Niemann, FZG now occupies a leading position in research, development and standardization as the
international competence center for
issues concerning mechanical drive
technology. Since October 2011,
the institute has been led by Prof.
Dr.-Ing. Karsten Stahl. The development of methods and tools for the
reliable determination of fatigue
life, efficiency and vibration characteristics of gears and transmission
elements is the focus for all research activities at FZG. More than
75 employees work at the institute,
which has comprehensive facilities
for the examination and testing of
different machine elements such as
gears, synchronizers, clutches and
rolling element bearings. There are
close contacts to industry, both in
education as well as in research, in
order to be able to offer modern
education as close as possible to
practical demands and to orient
research to current challenges in
practical applications. Conversely,
new scientific knowledge and
methods are provided to industry.

Types of Motors
The most reliable piece of electrical equipment in service today is a transformer. The second most reliable is the 3-phase
induction motor. Properly applied and maintained, 3-phase
motors will last many years. One key element of motor longevity is proper cooling. Motors are generally classified by the
method used to dissipate the internal heat.
Several standard motor enclosures are available to handle
the range of applicationsfrom clean-and-dry (indoor air
handlers) to the wet-or-worseas found on roofs and wet
cooling towers.
Open drip-proof (ODP) motors are good for clean and dry
environments. As the name implies, drip-proof motors can
handle some dripping water provided it falls from overhead
or no more than 15 degrees off vertical. These motors usually
have ventilating openings that face down. The end housings
can frequently be rotated to maintain drip-proof integrity
when the motor is mounted in a different orientation. These
motors are cooled by a continuous flow of the surrounding
air through the internal parts of the motor.
Totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motors are cooled by
an external fan mounted on the end opposite the shaft. The
fan blows ambient air across the outside surface of the motor to carry heat away. Air does not move through the inside
of the motor, so TEFC motors are suited for dirty, dusty, and
outdoor applications. There are many special types of TEFC
motors, including corrosion-protected and washdown styles.
These motors have special features to handle difficult environments. TEFC motors generally have weep holes at their
lowest points to prevent condensation from puddling inside
the motor. As in open drip-proof motors, if the TEFC motor is
mounted in a position other than horizontal, the end housings can generally be repositioned to keep the weep holes at
the lowest point.
Totally enclosed air over (TEAO) motors are applied in
the air-stream on machines such as vane axial fans where
the air moved by a direct connected fan passes over the motor and cools it. TEAO motors frequently have dualHP ratings,
depending on the speed and temperature of the cooling air.
Typical ratings for a motor might be: 10HP with 750 feet-perminute of 104F air, 10HP with 400FPM of 70F air, or 12.5HP
with 3,000FPM of 70F air. TEAO motors are usually confined
to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications be-

high starting torque may not be required. The capacitor start
motor can usually be recognized by the bulbous protrusion
on the frame that houses the starting capacitor.
In some applications it is not practical to install a centrifugal switch within the motor, as these motors have a relay operated by motor inrush current. The relay switches the starting capacitor into the circuit during the starting period. When
the motor approaches full speed the inrush current decreases
and the relay opens to disconnect the starting capacitor.
Single-value capacitor motors, also called permanent
split capacitor (PSC) motors, utilize a capacitor connected in
series with one of the two windings. This type of motor is generally used on small sizes (less than 1HP). It is ideally suited
for small fans, blowers, and pumps. Starting torque on this
type of motor is generally 100%, or less, of full load torque.
Two-value capacitor motors. The two-value capacitor
motor is utilized in large horsepower (5-15HP) single-phase
motors (Fig. 4).

true when the adjustable frequency drives were 6-step designs. The claim is still somewhat true, although pulse width
modulated (PWM) AFDs have somewhat changed the rules,
PWM drives are electrically more punishing on motor windingsespecially for 460 and 575 volt drives.
Standard motors can still be used on many AFDs, especially on HVAC fan, blower, and pump applications, as long
as the motors are high-quality, conservative designs that use
inverter spike resistant (ISR) magnet wire. On these variable torque loads a relatively small speed reduction results in
a dramatic reduction in the torque required from the motor.
For example, a 15% reduction in speed reduces the torque requirement by over 25%, so these motors are not stressed from
a thermal point of view. Also, variable torque loads rarely
need a wide speed range. Since the performance of pumps,
fans, and blowers falls off dramatically as speed is reduced,
speed reduction below 40% of base speed is rarely required.
This naturally leads to the questionWhat is meant by
high-quality, conservative designs?
Basically, this means that the motor must have phase insulation, should operate at a relatively low temperature rise
(as in the case with most premium efficiency motors), and
should use a high class of insulation (either F or H).
In addition, it is frequently desirable to have a winding
thermostat in the motor that will detect any motor overheat
conditions that may occur. Overheating could result from
overload, high ambient temperature, or loss of ventilation.
Inverter duty motors being offered in the marketplace
today incorporate premium efficiency designs along with
oversized frames or external blowers to cool the motor, regardless of its speed. These motors are primarily designed for
constant torque loads where the affinity laws do not apply. Inverter duty motors usually have winding thermostats that shut
the motor down through the AFD control circuit in case of
elevated temperature inside the motor. Inverter duty motors
also have high-temperature insulating materials operated at
lower temperatures. This reduces the stress on the insulation
system. Although some of the design features of inverter duty
motors are desirable for HVAC applications, HVAC applications usually do not require inverter duty motors.
Note that some cautions should be observed. Generally speaking, the power coming out of an AFD is somewhat rougher on the motor than power from a pure 60 cycle
source. Thus it is not a good idea to operate motors on AFDs
into their service factors.
In addition, when an old motor (one that has been in service for some time) is to be repowered from an adjustable
frequency drive, it may be desirable to add a load reactor between the AFD and the motor. The reactor reduces the stress
on the motor windings by smoothing out current variations,
thereby prolonging motor life.
Reactors are similar to transformers with copper coils
wound around a magnetic core. Load reactors increase in
importance when the AFDs are going to run in the quiet
mode. In this mode the very high carrier frequency can create standing waves that potentially double the voltage peaks
applied to the motor. The higher voltage can stress the motor
insulation enough to cause premature failure.

Insulation Classes
The electrical portions of every motor must be insulated from
contact with other wires and with the magnetic portion of the
motor. The insulation system consists of the varnish that jackets the magnet wire in the windings along with the slot liners
that insulate the wire from the steel laminations. The insulation
system also includes tapes, sleeving, tie-strings, a final dipping
varnish, and the leads that bring the electrical circuits out to
the junction box.
Insulation systems are rated by their resistance to thermal
degradation. The four basic insulation systems normally encountered are Class A, B, F, and H. Class A has a temperature
rating of 105C (221F), and each step from A to B, B to F, and
F to H involves a 25C (45F) jump. The insulation class in any
motor must be able to withstand at least the maximum ambient temperature plus the temperature rise that occurs as a result of continuous full-load operation. Selecting an insulation
class higher than necessary to meet this minimum can help
extend motor life or make a motor more tolerant of overloads,
high ambient temperatures, and other problems that normally shorten motor life.
A widely used rule of thumb states that every 10C (18F)
increase in operating temperature cuts insulation life in half.
Conversely, a 10C decrease doubles insulation life. Choosing
a one-step higher insulation class than required to meet the
basic performance specifications of a motor provides 25C of
extra temperature capability. The rule of thumb predicts that
this better insulation system increases the motors thermal life
expectancy by approximately 500%.

Low-Cost or High-End
Nevertheless, there exists great potential for pumps vis-vis energy savingsespecially for pump applications and
engines based on hydraulic technology.
However, the overwhelming majority of
applications currently in use are operated
by motors and pumps running at a constant speed.
Take, for instance, hydraulic power
units which now are typically constructed
from inexpensive, asynchronous motors,
motor starters and fixed-displacement
pumpsall of which require relatively
small investment. And yet they consume
a large amount of energy, given that the
overall hydraulic power unit is designed
to support the maximum pressure and
volume flow required. Energy is wasted
because it delivers this maximum outputwhether application-driven or not.
In addition, heat inflow into the hydraulic
fluid via the constantly operating pump is
high, so additional cooling capacity is required.
To increase the energy efficiency of such
a system, the fundamental approach is to
operate the main pump of the machine
at variable speed. Thus, only the required
power is made available to the system
whenever needed.
As a high-end solution, this can be achieved with a fourquadrant, direct drive; i.e., a servo drive controls the speed of
the pump and, therefore, the pressure and volume flow. In this
case the oil need only be actively cooled to a limited extent.
All in all, such a unit consumes significantly less energy
than a system with constant pressure. However a direct drive
can only supply one process. If hydraulic power is needed for
several different processes, an equivalent number of power
units are required. The four-quadrant, direct drive with servo
motors is thus a solution that belongs at the upper end of the
scale in terms of required investment.

damage a building, the bearings allow the buildings foundation to physically move back and forth like a pendulum, finding an outlet to expend otherwise damaging levels of force.
EPSs newest product, the Triple Pendulum Bearing, takes
it a step further, with three different bearings in a single
product all designed to resist different magnitudes of earthquakes. The bearings activate sequentially, so that only one
bearing is active at any given time, but each bearing is ideally
suited to different magnitude earthquakes, and when one
bearings ability to resist the earthquake is overloaded, the
next bearing immediately takes over.
If the earthquake is weak, the bearing is weak, Mokha said.
If the earthquake gets stronger, the bearing gets stronger.
According to Mokha, products like the Triple Pendulum
Bearing are fairly standard in Japan, where earthquakes are a
constant hazard, but are still only just catching on worldwide
as an effective countermeasure for earthquakes. Mokha estimates that previously, only about 10 percent of buildings in
the U.S. used a pendulum bearing or equivalent product, but
that in recent years, that number may have risen as high as
15 or 20 percent and is still growing.
What Elon Musk did with the electric car in the automotive industry, and now everyone is realizing the benefits...I
believe we have crossed that threshold now, where people
are realizing the benefits, Mokha said.
EPS bearings protect over $20 billion worth of construction today and are installed in 30 countries. They are present
in high-profile buildings such as the San Francisco Airport
Terminal, the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, Calif.
and Pasadenas city hall and are used in many infrastructure
projects such as bridges and viaducts.
