Bearing reconditioning is a common practice in the railway industry because it can reduce the cost of replacing bearings by 50-90%. However, a critical concern is that reconditioning may not always restore the bearing to its original condition...
It is important to note that approximately 90% of bearings in revenue service have been through a reconditioning process...
Our primary drive to engage in the Railroad project stems from its potential real-world impact...
To address the challenge of evaluating whether a bearing is still suitable for reconditioning...
Throughout the design process, prototyping has been carried out to properly determine the dimensions and components necessary...
In the next steps of the design process, we plan to design and 3D print a true-to-size horizontal slide mechanism...
The electrical components that were utilized to automate the final prototype...
We are excited to present our primary design...
