Abstract

The Clean Water Distribution Pump plays a crucial role in delivering clean water to consumers. Over time, increased noise levels indicate potential damage to pump components, which, if left unaddressed, can lead to severe failures and costly repairs. One of the analyzes of pump damage is vibration analysis. With vibration analysis, damage to the pump in the form of misalignment, mechanical looseness, bent shaft, bearing damage, worn gears, cavitation can be identified. The purpose of this research is to determine the characteristics of vibrations that occur in the pump, so that we can detect damage and failures that occurs and suggest maintenance action. Vibration analysis is carried out using a vibration analyzer to determine the vibration spectrum that occurs in the axial, radial and tangential directions, then analyzing the type of damage and appropriate maintenance to be carried out.  The results showed that this pump indicated: extreme motor free end bearing looseness with a severity score of 99/100, serious motor free end bearing wear with a severity score of 72/100, serious motor drive end bearing looseness with a severity score of 53/100, and moderate motor drive end bearing wear with a severity score of 37/100. and based on the ISO 10816-3 standard, it is recommended that the motor free end bearing be replaced because vibration will cause damage and for the drive end bearing motor it is only recommended to operate for a short time.

Abstract

Sinker Electrical Discharge Machining (SEDM) is a powerful technique used for shaping hard materials and creating complex designs. SEDM effectively machines hardened steel, titanium, and tungsten carbide, materials challenging for conventional methods. This study aims to identify the optimal surface profile (Ra) as a response variable in the SEDM process. This study utilized hardened SKD11 as the workpiece and graphite as the electrode, employing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for optimization. The investigation focused on the pulse current, spark-on time, and gap voltage as the input parameters. The findings revealed that Sample 7 achieved the smoothest surface (at Ra = 10 µm), while Sample 13 had the roughest (at Ra = 20 µm). The analysis of these results determined the ideal conditions for the pulse current at level 1, spark-on time at level 3, and gap voltage at level 3, resulting in a surface profile of 10.2 microns. The successful application of RSM optimization in SEDM significantly contributes to the precision machining of alloy steels, which plays a crucial role in material-processing operations.
