- Abstract:
- Analyzing the lab and job site testing data related to friction and clamping interaction between rubber compound-lined track-type conveyors and steel pipes in pipe feeding systems used in trenchless construction the article gives insight into major engineering principles behind the distribution of forces and reactions inside conveyor-based pipe feeding systems with axial force over 200 tons and discloses the relation between the parameters of the pipe and working characteristics of the continuous pipe feeding system. The research allowed to define the necessary clamping force developed by a 200-ton machine, maximum achievable friction factor consistent with the strength of steel rubber-coated conveyor plates and the ability of the most popular pipes used in trenchless industry to withstand the radial loads communicated by rubber-coated pads of the pipe feeder.
