Abstract

this paper gives the insights of various analysis & tests carried out to find shaft failure type & its causes. Failed shaft is used in auxiliary hoist gear box for torque transmission. Shaft failed with fewer cycles of operations in very early stage of life span. Every analysis method has its advantages and disadvantages and used by specific industrial areas. This study gives the glimpses of many such failure analysis methods particularly finding the causes for shaft failure. Shaft failure causes the unnecessary shutdowns and leads to larger production losses. The objective of this paper is to study various shafts failure analysis techniques and select the best method to find out the root cause for failure of shaft used in crane hoist. The various literatures has been systematically studied, compared and reviewed to get an exact shaft failure analysis and their causes.
