Enhancing the existing 3 ton electrical overhead travelling crane rope drum by adopting reverse engineering

Abstract

In the process of improving the performance of the electrical overhead travelling crane drum, industries adopt various approaches. Reverse engineering approach is one of them. This approach was adopted to enhance the performance of the electrical overhead travelling 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 modified by replacing the spline with modified spline.
