In the latest issue of Drives & Controls, maxon UK & Ireland Managing Director Will Mason explains how precision drive system engineering has changed. Today, precision drive systems are increasingly custom engineered. “Twenty years ago, modifications might have involved a customised shaft or a cable change. Today, the complete drive system can be designed from scratch,” says Will. Crucial to developing customised drive systems is the initial specification. This depends on the experience and expertise of the drive system engineers – a role that has become increasingly important as applications have become more demanding. “The higher the demands on the drive system, the more important the initial design concept will become,” says Will.

Diesel-electric locomotives are a marvel of modern engineering, with their unique propulsion system providing efficient and reliable power to the traction motors that drive these massive engines. The key components of this system are the diesel engine, main generator/alternator-rectifier, traction motors, and control system. Unlike traditional locomotives, there is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels. Instead, the diesel engine drives an electrical generator or alternator-rectifier, which powers the traction motors. The control system, including the engine governor and electrical components, regulates the supply of electricity to the traction motors. This innovative design allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in locomotive operations, making diesel-electric locomotives a critical component of modern transportation infrastructure. #transportation #engineering #dieselelectriclocomotives

Reliability Engineering is fun. It's like a war between equipment manufacturers who design for a limited service life and the end-users who want to extend that life. Interestingly, some of the longest-lasting products were made by companies who are no longer in business. Thoughts? #reliability #reliabilityengineering #engineering
