Monitoring of conditions of agricultural machines' parts in operation

Abstract

Polák P., Mikuš R., Kročko V., 2014. Monitoring of conditions of agricultural machines' parts in operation. Res. Agr. Eng., 60 (Special Issue): S57-S65.This contribution focuses on problems of monitoring the runout of tractor diesel motor parts used in agricultural operation. Crankshafts from the agricultural tractors of type Zetor 6911 are used as samples for measuring the runout and circularity. The first sample of the crankshaft is loaded in the tractor used in livestock production, and the second one is used in vegetable production. Measured values of the runout and circularity of both samples are evaluated by tables and polar diagrams. Results of the experiment show the amount of runout and the following wear of agricultural machine parts in different operating conditions of agricultural production.
