Stefan Lehnert recently discussed functional safety in hydraulics with Lukas Marschall. In their presentation, How to Successfully Implement the Requirements from Functional Safety on Your Hydraulic System, they consider regulations, product offerings and application examples with respect to hydraulic systems. The IH04 modules are the latest product offering from Bosch Rexroth. These modules are not yet available in North America; however, Bosch Rexroth is exploring how quickly they can make a certification for the US. Still, the applications and information in this article are relevant for those who work on presses or other machines and want to implement functional safety.
Mechanical power transmission equipment — including motors, drives, shafts, gearing and other associated components — relies on bearings to keep drive trains aligned for a smooth transmission of power. But there are many considerations that require attention when it comes to these vital parts.
The main requirement when retrofitting the points controllers for the urban railway and trams in several of Poland’s major cities was safety and reliability. That’s because the control systems in use were obsolete and sensitive to temperature variations. In many places, points could only be passed at 10 km/h, which prevented attractive, clock-face scheduling. The Polish company ZUE S.A. is an expert in the field of modernizing rail infrastructure and took charge of modernization.
