Item DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A WEAR TESTING MACHINE FOR MANUFACTURING LABORATORIES(1st FUOYE INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE, 2018) OGEDENGBE, T. S.; YUSSOUFF, Abiodun A.; Adanikin, A.Wear of parts during manufacturing processes is inevitable but controllable. Therefore, the critical study of wear in engineering components is vital because failure of components due to wear has resulted in loss of a great deal of fortune. This study was therefore an attempt to design and fabricate a wear testing machine, evaluate the performance of the machine and compare data obtained with existing ones. Materials for the various parts were carefully selected based on desirable properties and availability. Design calculations were made for the main shaft, compression spring, belt, pulley and electric motor. The post fabrication test was carried out on the machine to evaluate the performance of the machine and results gotten reported.
