Homemade Digging Chain Mechanism

  • The mechanism will be used to build a chain excavator. The length of the mechanism is over 120 cm measured from the axis of the drive, which should give about 100 cm of effective digging after deducting the height of the device. Auger to the ground away from the chain than it should be, but in the machine I'm building at the moment there will be a supported mechanism right behind the chain, and there will be a second auger to the ground behind the chain

    Awesome build you are very skilled. I hate to be that guy but 8:02 those seals are the wrong way round. The way you have them, is if the bearing had a grease nipple and was backed with grease from the inside. Unless I am mistaken the bearing housing can not be pumped full of grease. The purpose of the seal, appears to be in stopping dust and dirt from damaging the bearing. In which case the seal should be flipped. In this way as dirt packs and applies pressure to the seal in will close. The way it is orientated now, pressure will cause it to open.

  • @Paulman50
    @Paulman50 Před rokem +5

    Cool project, the points to think about
    1 Need to be able to change the end bearing real easy, because the seals only last the first 100 meters, bearings don't last long.
    2 The teeth need to be balanced, ie 2 teeth side by side, you'll have to limit the number to suit horsepower
    3 You'll need removable wear plates on the top and bottom of the boom, the steel hardness to be slightly less than the chain.
    4 The chain may not be heavy enough to last a long time.
    5 You'll need a cleaning spade to trail the trencher.
    Have a few more ideas but they are my own preferences. My trencher dug about 6 kilometers per day, and smashed itself regularly.
    Looking forward to seeing the final build.

      6. Next time drive the bearings in with a piece of alu or bronze pipe that DOES NOT touch the inner ring of the bearing, but only drives the outer ring. Like we've been taught to do it in industry. Because the way it's done here, you're pounding on the inner ring and the bearing balls are driving the outer ring. And yes Paulman, If I look at the leverage of the teeth vs the links of the chain, it looks a bit flimsy.

    • @WorkshopFromScratch
      @WorkshopFromScratch  Před rokem +1

      Thank you for the hints :) It is very important to me, especially if you are a person who uses such a machine, we'll see how it will work in the final stage, I'm sure I need to think about a few things :)

    • @willieshaw2522
      @willieshaw2522 Před rokem +1

      Paulman50 I was thinking the same thing about the teeth, needing 2 on each sled to pull straight on the chain, instead of cocking it side to side. 1 offset like that puts the entire load on 1 side link of the chain. Granted, 2 teeth would increase the load, but it would be more of an even pull. I would consider cutting rubber inserts to bolt onto the spare tabs that tuck behind the sleds (or a continuous band) to help keep debris from the chain.

    It's too late to change it now, but I'd have thought twin chains might have been a better way to go......... Though I'm still not sure exactly what it's going to be digging in.

But then the shaft going through doesn't have a seal with neither the holes on the welded plates nor with the bushings. If the tip pulley is going to be close to the business end of this tool it could leak...

    "homemade" doesn't suit here in title in my opinion))) It's more like "DIY" thing because not everyone has lathe, welding machine, drilling machine, sewing machine and other tools at home ))))
