In the article Types of Machines | Types of Machine Foundation, we are going to discuss about different types of machine and machine foundation Types of Machines Machines are categorized into three major groups. They are high speed machines, low speed machines and impact machines. Low speed machines | Types of Machine Compressors and reciprocating engines come under this category. They produce unbalanced forces. The speed of such machines is usually smaller than 600 rpm. High speed machines | Types of Machine Turbo rotary compressors fall in this category of machines. These…
Read MoreDesign Criteria of Machine Foundation
In this article we are discuss about “Design Criteria of Machine Foundation”. In the design a rigid block is assumed to rest directly in the soil. When acted by dynamic loads the rigid block as shown in Fig. 2 may vibrate in any one of six degrees of freedom and the complete evaluation of the response of the block is very complex. However many researchers have conformed from various studies that freedom of vibration in order to arrive at reasonable solution. A vibrating foundation fails when velocity or acceleration or…
Read MoreDegree of freedom | Loads on Machine Foundation
What is degree of freedom? The Degree of freedom is defined as the number of independent coordinates which describe the motion of a system. Figure 1 (a) shows a system with one degree of freedom while, Fig.1 (b) shows a system with two degree of freedom. A foundation block as shown in Fig.2 has six degree of freedom. The block can undergo into six independent displacements. We can have translation in X, Y, and Z directions and also rotation in X, Y and Z directions. Loads on Machine Foundation The…
Read MoreMachine Foundation | Introduction and Description
Introduction to machine foundation: Foundations are subjected to static loads or dynamic loads or a combination of both static and dynamic loads. In addition to static loads, in some cases underlying soils are subjected to dynamic loads. Static loads produce no vibration and loads are imposed slowly. Dynamic loads produce vibration to foundation soil system. Various sources produce dynamic loads to soils supporting foundations. They could be from vibratory motion of machines, vehicular movement, earthquakes, bomb blasts, impact of hammers, mine explosions, pile driving, winds, waves and so on. Foundations…
Read MoreLight and Touch Operated Music Door Bell
The novel circuit light and touch operated music bell used a photo transistor (T1) with an npn transistor in emitter-follower mode to increase sensitivity of the circuit. So even if very little light fall on the photo transistor, it gives a triggering pulse to SCR gate and the SCR starts conducting. Circuit Description of Light and Touch Operated Music Bell When SCR conducts, IC UM66 starts producing music. After the music has halted, no current flows through the SCR and the SCR switches off till the light falls again on…
Read More12 Tones Doorbell
Every day addiction of people towards technology is growing deeper and deeper, even before entering into someone’s house we press doorbell which is a clear example to support our belief. Listening same doorbell always might be boring, this circuit 12 tones doorbell help us to avoid this dull situation. Music doorbells, music horns, touch-sensitive doorbells, etc are not new projects electronics hobbyists, especially for BEP readers. But, this music producer (twelve popular tones in sequences) gives a new dimension to musical doorbells. Whenever a switch is pressed, a popular tone…
Read MoreAutomatic Light Operated Switch using LDR and IC741
Along with modernization, people are more prone to the comfort zone. Several inventions have been made to meet this requirement. Following the same trend, here we have presented a simple circuit; automatic light operated switch using LDR and IC741. People are busy, every second has a vital role in our busy schedule. Why shall we waste our valuable time turning on every switch in the building? The situation turns more troublesome when one needs to reach the ground floor just because it’s getting dark and s/he needs to turn on…
Read MoreFour channel audio mixer
As per the name of the circuit, it is clear that this circuit connects four different audio signals as one. So, it is call four channel audio mixer. Here is that simple circuit; “four channel audio mixer” using op-amplifier 741.  It is to be noted in the circuit that the op-amplifier 741 works here as an inverting amplifier. Circuit Description of four channel audio mixer: The circuit of four channel audio mixer is wired around op-amp IC 741 followed by few other active as well as passive components. The IC 741…
Read MoreFrequency Counter Using Digital MultiMeter
As being electronic hobbyists we love to design and verify various types of circuits, we often have to measure the output frequency. The device which is used for this purpose is called the frequency counter. A frequency counter is an electronic device that measures the frequency of electric and electronic circuits by counting clock pulse. The frequency counter available in markets is quite expensive and sometimes we cannot afford it. In BEP LAB we designed and verified a circuit called “Frequency Counter Using Digital MultiMeter” which will serve as an…
Read MoreCrystal controlled inverter | Verified Inverter Circuit
Many Inverter Circuits have already been posted on many other websites. The inverter circuit “Crystal Controlled Inverter” presented here provides a stable output frequency even when there is a change in the DC voltage applied to the inverter. This stable output of the Crystal control Inverter is obtained from the 3.2786 MHZ crystal (XTAL1). You can also make your 3000W inverter using a microcontroller. Circuit Description of Crystal Controlled Inverter. The Inverter circuit “Crystal Controlled Inverter” is built around popular flip flop IC MM 5369 (IC1) followed by a few…
