Paper on Design and Analysis of Wheel set assembly & Disassembly Hydraulic Press Machine

Abstract

The wheels of the train are the part that carries the maximum static load, high axle load, high speeds, shocks and extreme weather conditions which expose them to and wear and tear which ultimately leads to failure. It is necessary for the railway department to maintain the wheels assembly for the safety and optimum working as defective wheel increases the risk of a train derailment. The wheels undergo periodic maintenance, and visual inspection is also carried out every day.To test the life and condition of the wheels special not destructive tests are carried out in every 18 months. This project is an industrial project for AI ENGINEERING ENTERPRISES. It involves the design and analysis of Hydraulic Press Machine which is used to assemble & dissemble the locomotive wheel set. In this part of paper we studied the different literatures for gaining the deep knowledge and also studying the work which was done related to our project.
