Diseño y construcción de un módulo para el montaje y desmontaje del rodamiento de bolas a rótula 1208k para el laboratorio de mantenimiento correctivo de la Facultad de Mecánica

Abstract

This research aimed to design and construct a module for the assembly and disassembly of spherical ball bearings (1208K) within the Corrective Maintenance Laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering; therefore, the research encompassed an exploration of the characteristics and specifications of commonly employed bearings within the field. Subsequently, the blueprints for the various components constituting the module were devised. These components included the framework structure, an integral part of the workbench, the hexagonal module's design, and the lever's mechanics. Materials for the construction were meticulously delineated, involving a comparative analysis among distinct alternatives. Resistance tests were conducted on several parts to determine the most suitable materials. Following this selection process, a comprehensive construction procedure for the assembly and disassembly test module was outlined. The module, positioned atop a workbench, featured a hexagonal design and was equipped with six steel axes capable of accommodating diverse bearing types. These bearings could vary in construction and diameter. In addition, an instructional manual for usage and maintenance was created. Finally, practical trials were performed on the constructed module, employing the technique of torque angle application. The module was situated within the premises of the Corrective Maintenance Laboratory, which is housed within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. This installation permits students of the discipline to undertake their practical exercises. Custodians are advised to strategize periodic maintenance routines to ensure consistent functionality. Furthermore, educators are encouraged to guide students on proper utilization to prevent operational setbacks.
