The transformation of power generation from gear system to the hydraulic system at rotary kiln

The aim of this thesis is to transform the reducer system of rotary kiln to the hydraulic system. In this way, load strength is increased and consequently equipment failure is reduced, material expenses are decreased, loss of manpower in maintenance is reduced and the continuity of production is ensured. At the rotary kiln, the loads which affect to the gear system is very irregular and mixed. So, these loads cause unstable deformation and stress. For this reason, gears and pinions can wear in a short time however very kindly different materials are chosen. However, the hydraulic system brings us strength to the irregular load effects. For this reason, power generation of gear system rotary kiln is transformed to hydraulic system for obtaining high strength. In this thesis, the comparison between the reductor systems and the hydraulic systems are analysed. The advantages and disadvantages are explained. The function and working principle of rotary kiln is explained. The loads acting on the geared system of rotary kiln is analysed. Deformation and stress analysis are carried out according to incoming loads. In line with the load analysis, the necessary calculations are made for the design of the hydraulic system. Based on the calculations, hydraulic elements are selected and hydraulic system is modelled. Moreover, reliability analysis of proposed system were performed by failure mode and effect analysis.
