The effect of local changes in the surface hardness of the end surfaces of teeth of coarse-grained gear transmissions mining machines. Represented by patterns of change of the surface hardness is not the type of reference to the loading. The estimation of the value of destruction of samples. Proposed to assess the remaining amount of coarse-grained gears with consideration of changes in the local surface hardness developed technique.
To date, there is need to review the existing rigid system of preventive maintenance and the transition to a more progressive system, which provides maintenance and repairs on its actual state, in which the need for repair work is based on a preliminary examination and the results of the diagnosis and monitoring of major nodes excavator.
