Reverse engineering technique for enhancing the EOT crane rope drum

Abstract

EOT cranes are the widely used ones in the present day industry. In the process of maximizing the efficiency of EOT cranes, the industries are implementing different approaches. One among them is reverse engineering approach. This approach was recommended to improve the efficiency of the EOT crane drum shaft. The shape and size of the shaft were modified to meet the industry requirements. To improve the shaft loading capacity, life and efficiency, the proposed shaft is equipped with the gear hub and gear sleeve.
