Black and Decker Grinder

Figure 1: Fully dissected product

Description

This product is a produced by Black and Decker. The product is used to grind down metal.

How It Works

Inside the grinder there is an electric motor that spins a shaft connected to a bevel gear. The bevel gear is then attached to another driving shaft. A grinding wheel is clamped onto the driving shaft, causing the grinding wheel to spin.

Because of constant friction and the forces acting on each component there is a certain life expency. This varries for individual parts based on the force acting on the part and the design of the part.

For the bearing, an assumed torque of 0.315 Nm was applied to the shaft. Assuming the grinder is being used constantly the bearing would last 1.83 years before failure. If the grinder was being used six hours every day, 365 days a year then the bearing would last 7.33 years. If the grinder was being used six hours a day, five days a week, the bearing would last 10.26 years.
