CASE STUDY – Combined Loading Drill bit isolators for underground mining – all metal components and elastomer must be safe! Design requirement: 8,000 lb thrust load and 300 lb-ft (3,600 lb-in) torque – these are basically the cutting forces. Detailed FE analysis but ALWAYS verify with hand calculations!!

35 mm (1 3/8 in) Isolator Load Requirements: Drill Bit Isolator ( Thrust Load = 8,000 to 10,000 lb Bending Load= 125 lbs)= K* Torsion Load= 300 lb-ft Drill Rod Chuck Isolator Drill Bit HOT SPOT! 2010 SME Annual Meeting & Exhibit Phoenix, Arizona
Results showed that in combination, the bit isolator and the drill chuck isolator provided a 7 dB(A) reduction in sound pressure level at the operator position SME Annual Meeting & Exhibit Phoenix, Arizona
