COMPANY PROFILE

HISTORY OF THE FIRM

In 1980, when the nation needed one type of machine which could

harvest and thresh the crop simultaneously, to reduce the losses bearded by the

farmers, S. Hari Singh (M.D. of Preet Agro Industries Pvt. Ltd) was working on the

project in his tractor repair workshop. After three years of hardship, he was able to

establish a small scale unit for manufacturing harvesting reapers, Threshers,

Agriculture parts. Later, his brother S.Gurcharan Singh (Director) joined him in 1985

and they were able to make a tractor driven combine in 1986.

The name Preet was established in 1987. In 1996, they managed to get

approval certificates from Machinery Training and Testing Institute, Ministry of

agriculture, Govt. of India. In 1999, they converted their firm into a Pvt. Ltd.

Company. Today, they are the largest manufacturers of Self propelled combines,

harvesters in India.

Today, Preet Agro Industries Pvt. Ltd. has finally reached on this stage

when they are known in the farmer’s community nationwide.

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING

The process of manufacturing is rather a complex one though it seems to be

simple. Every part to be manufactured undergoes through tests and is used only after

the approval of quality department. The entire manufacturing process is pre decided

and is guided by the recommendations and suggestions of Production Planning &

Control Department (PPC). During manufacturing process, the manufacturer has to

follow the industry standards being established by the industry. After quality control

department o.k. & rejected component send to store. From store o.k. component are

send to the assembly line no.1 and after assembling, the machines are send to paint

shop for painting. After paint shop all the electrical work, mirror’s work & seat work is

done in the assembly line no.2 or/final assembly. Thus, the manufacturing process is

complete after assembly line no.2. Then machines are sent to PDI (Pre Delivery

Inspection) where they are checked for the faults if any. Now, the machines are ready

to be send to the sales department for sale.

INTRODUCTION TO TRACTOR

The word tractor has been defined from an English word ‘traction’ which means

‘pulling force’. In other words it may be defined as the machine, which can do tractive

work with the help of pulling force. The back tyres of tractor experience this type of

force.A tractor is a vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort at slow

speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or

construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe the distinctive farm vehicle:

agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the

tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanized. Another

common use of the term is for the power unit of a semi-trailer truck.

The word tractor was taken from Latin, being the agent noun of trahere "to pull". The

first recorded use of the word meaning "an engine or vehicle for pulling wagons or

ploughs" occurred in 1901, from the earlier term traction engine (1859).

The first tractors were steam-powered ploughing engines. They were used in pairs

either side of a field to haul a plough back and forth between them using a wire cable.

CUGNOT STEAM TRACTOR

The Cugnot tractor is believed to be the first self-propelled road vehicle, and thus, the

earliest automobile. Powered by steam, the three-wheeled tractor was invented in 1769

by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. It was designed to carry artillery, but similar vehicles soon

found many other uses in industry.

CONSTRUCTIONAL PARTS OF TRACTOR

Page 26: final report

TRACTOR APPLICATIONS

Tractors are mainly used for the following major applications: -

a) Farming

b) Material handling and

c) Transportation

A tractor is a critical tool in farm mechanization. A 20 HP tractor can replace about

200 laborers. Tractor is also for material handling in industries and a tractor – trailer

combination is also used as a passenger / commercial vehicle in rural and semi-urban

areas.

Studies done in Punjab shows that an average farmer runs his tractor for about 397

hours in a year. Out of this, 278 hours is spent on farming while the remaining time is

divided between marketing of produce and purchase of inputs (61 hours), customs

hiring (32 hours) and other social engagements (26 hours).

TRACTOR DESIGN

A tractor is an automotive vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine. The power

generated by the diesel engine is transmitted to the drive wheels through a gearbox.

The tractor design is different from other commercial vehicles as it has a differential

i.e. a gear assembly on the drive axle, which allows the two wheels to rotate at

different speed. A tractor is normally equipped with power take off shaft, which drives

auxiliary equipment such as pumps and compressors. Tractors are normally equipped

with high power air cleaners, which ensure smooth working even in dusty conditions.

PRODUCT RANGE

Tractors are normally distinguished on the basis of power of the engine measured in

horse power (HP) as follows: -

Less than 20HP (Small size)

20 - 40HP (Medium size)

Page 27: final report

27

30 – 60HP (Large size)

Above 60HP (Very large size)

In India popular range of tractors is 20 – 40HP compared to 60HP in Europe and 90HP

in U.S.A. In India, most of the farms are small and fragmented. Tractors available in

developed countries have advanced features and accessories.

DIFFERENTIAL

If a tractor travels in a straight line, the two rear wheels turn on the road exactly at the

same speed. There is no relative movement between the rear wheels. But when the

tractor takes a turn, the outer wheel travels on a longer radius than the inner wheel. The

outer wheel turns faster than the inner wheel, that is, there is a relative movement b/w

the two rear wheels. If the two rear wheels are rigidly fixed to a rear axle the inner

wheel will slip which will cause rapid tyre wear, steering difficulties and poor road

holding. Therefore, there must be some devices to provide relative movement to the

two rear wheels when the tractor is taking a turn. The differential serves this purpose.

Page 28: final report

28

Differential is a part of the inner rear axle housing assy., which includes the

differential, rear axles, wheels and bearings. The differential consists of a system of

gears arranged in such a way that connects the intermittent shaft with the rear axles.

The purpose of the differential is to provide the relative movement to the two rear

wheels when the tractor is taking a turn. The torque transmitted to each wheel is,

however, always equal.

GEAR BOX

The main functions which are performed by the gearbox are: -

The torque or the tractive effort produced by the engine varies with speed only

within narrow limits. But the practical consideration for the running of tractor

under different conditions demands a large variation of torque available at the

wheels. The main purpose of the gearbox is to provide a means to vary the

leverage or torque ratio between the engine and the road wheels as required.

Gearbox also provides a neutral position so that the engine and the road wheels

are disconnected even with the clutch in the engaged position.

The third function of the gearbox is to reverse the rotation of the outgoing

shaft so as to drive the tractor in reverse direction.

COMBINE HARVESTERSThe combine harvester, or simply combine, also known as a thresher is a machine

that combines the tasks of harvesting, threshing, and cleaning grain crops. The

objective is to complete these three processes, which used to be distinct, in one pass of

the machine over a particular part of the field. Among the crops harvested with a

combine are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), soybeans, and flax (linseed). The

waste straw left behind on the field is the remaining dried stems and leaves of the crop

with limited nutrients which is either chopped and spread on the field or baled for feed

and bedding for livestock.

HISTORY:-

The first combine was invented by Hiram Moore in 1838. It took many decades for the

combine to become popular. Early combines often took more than 16 horses to drive

them. Later combines were pulled by steam engines. George Stockton Berry joined the

combine into a single machine using straw to heat the boiler. The header was over

forty feet long, cutting over one hundred acres per day.

Early combines, some of them quite large, were drawn by horse or mule teams and

used a bull wheel to provide power. In 1902, a combine could harvest enough grain in

one hour to make 10 loaves of bread. Tractor-drawn, combines were used for a time.

Tractor drawn combines evolved to have separate gas or diesel engines to power the

grain separation. Newer kinds of combines are self-propelled and use diesel engines

for power. A significant advance in the design of combines was the rotary design.

Straw and grain were separated by use of a powerful fan. "Axial-Flow" rotary

combines were introduced by International Harvester "IH" in 1977. In about the 1980's

on-board electronics were introduced to measure threshing efficiency. This new

instrumentation allowed operators to get better grain yields by optimizing ground

speed and other operating parameters.

WORKING OF COMBINE HARVESTERS

Combine harvester has been mainly divided into two parts:-

A. Cutter bar & conveyor unit

B. Thresher, cleaner & Storage unit

A. Cutter bar & conveyor unit: Cutter bar assembly is mounted on the machine with

the feeder conveyor &can be lifted up or down with the help of hydraulic jacks .it has

the following sub units

1. Reel

2. Knife and its drive

3. Auger

4. Feeder conveyor

The function of the reel (1) is to hold the standing crop (2) until it has been cut by

knives and lay it over the pan of the cutter bar (3) and the rest of the standing crop in

the field to be slightly pushed apart so that it is not damaged by the machine. On the

entire length of the cutter bar there are blades guards in which knife blades run .knife

blades are riveted o the knife strip and have a reciprocating motion. The cut crop falls

on the auger (4). Due to spiral movement, the crop is bought to the center of the auger.

In the center of auger, the prongs (5) handle the crop and push it to the conveyor chain

of the feeder assembly. Feeder chain (6) conveys the crop from auger to the threshing

drum.

B Thresher, Cleaner & Storage Unit: cut crop is threshed in the threshing unit

consisting of moving drum (7) and stationary concave basket (8). To suit various crops

Page 32: final report

32

and their threshing characteristics, drum speed is and can be adjusted from the

operator’s platform. The gap between concave and drum which can be increased easily

be increased or decreased by adjusting nuts on both side of the machine

The stone trap (9) is provided in front of the threshing drum and concave so as to

catch the stone. the threshed straw is brought to the straw walkers to guide drum (10) a

baffle plate (12) is placed above the straw walkers (11) to control the grains flow by

allowing the grains to fall at the front of the straw walkers and straw to be discharged

at the rear end of the machine at traveling complete length of straw walkers. The

mixture of the grains and the straw drops from grate of concave above the stepped bed

(13. due to vibrating action of the straw walkers the straw is carried to the chaffer rack.

the blower blows (15) blows the chaff and short straw and grains are separated on the

hinged screw(14). Inclination and size of opening can be adjusted according to the

nature and size of grains. Air from speed blower (15) is arranged in such a way that it

passes under chaffer racks (16) as well under both the sieves. The air current blows out

light weight dust particles, short straws and other impurities out of the combine.

A slide is mounted at the end of cleaning box to trap the grain if any being carried

away by current. The clean grains are drooped from the lower sieve (17) to the inclined

lead (18) and are carried out by the grain elevator (19). At the top end of the elevator is

fixed another screw conveyor to convey the clean grain to the grain tank (21). The un-

threshed ear which had fallen at the rear of chaffer rack find their way t inclined bed

and are carried by screw conveyor (23) into the threshing drum compartment for re

threshing.

Page 33: final report

33

CUTTER BAR

Cutter bar is one of the most important parts of the Combine Harvesters. Its work is to

cut the crop and then feed into feeder convener which then passes the crop to thresher.

Cutter bar is placed on a Trailor assembly when it is taken from one place to another.

The main parts of cutter bar are Reel,Knife and its Drive,Auger. Power is supplied to

these parts from engine with the help of various pullies.

KNIVES

While its construction,first of all the main base plate is constructed with the help of

sheets and by various process like welding and grinding. Then side plates are attached.

Then the knives and knife drive and other pullies are installed. Then the auger also

called as conveyor worm is fitted. Hydraulic cylinders are also placed at the sides to

lift the reel up and down. The function of the reel is to hold the crop and then it is cut

by knives and then by the help of the auger,it is passed to Feeder.

Usually the specifications of cutter Bar are:-

GEAR BOX AND REDUCTION BOX

Power from engine is supplied to Clutch with the help of pulleys. Clutch is assembled

with gear box. The function of gear box is to get different speeds at same speed from

engine Gear box is designed to have 4 different ratios.(3 forward and 1

reverse).Reduction box is used to decrease the speed of the tyres as not very high speed

is desired. Reduction box has only two gears,bull gear and small gear.

TYPES OF CONVEYORS & FUNCTION

GRAINCONVEYOR :-

It is an endless chain used to take only grain at the top of the combine in grain storage

tank. From Tank grains can be discharged to any tractor or other machine through

discharge arm. It has total 38 links.

EARCONVEYOR ;- It is an endless chain used to take grain mixed with straws at front of Drum

Thresher,where it is again threshed to get grains,and straw is then thrown out of the

combine from the back through straw walkers.

It has 40 links.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Hydraulic fuel is put into the tank placed at the top near the Engine. From the Tank the

fuel goes to Pump. There are two pumps assembled at both sides of the engine. They

get power from the Engine with the help of the belt and pulley arrangement.

From the left pump fuel goes to the Armedeol which is used for the steering. And from

the right pump fuel goes to Distributer used for 3 purposes

QUALITY DEPARTMENT

Preet Agro Industries. is making a wide variety of Harvestor combines and tractors

which are being sent to National & International market .Quality is the main &

important thing of this industry to sell there machines.

Quality department at Preet. checks the quality of the components being

purchased from the different vendors, which are used in the assembly of the tractors

and combines. These components are checked with very close quality control on every

parameter with the help of state-of-the-art quality control and inspection equipments.

MEANING OF QUALITY AND QUALITY CONTROL

Quality is one of the important factors which influences the purchaser of product and

helps to capture market. It plays an important role in customer‘s decision and which is

why control of quality during manufacture of a product is very necessary. Quality in

simple words is defined as the fitness for use. An equally good definition is

conformance to requirements. In both the above definitions, quality is defined relative

to use, rather than as a general characteristic that may be intangible. By this simple, yet

practical definition, if a product or service lives up to expectations, it is of high quality.

On the other hand, extra fine finish or using materials that are far stronger than

required does NOT add quality to an item unless it somehow causes the item to

conform to its requirement better.

Quality of product depends upon the application of materials, men, machines and

manufacturing conditions. The systematic control of these factors is the quality control.

The quality of a product differs greatly due to these factors. For example, a skilled

worker will produce products of better quality and a less skilled worker will produce

poor quality products. Similarly better machines and better materials with satisfactory

Page 37: final report

37

manufacturing conditions produce a better quality product. Thus it is clear that to

control the quality of product; the various factors which are responsible for quality are

required to be controlled properly.

In the words of Alford and Beauty quality control may be defined as “Industrial

management technique by means of which products of uniform acceptable quality are

manufactured”. It is concerned with making things right rather than discovering and

rejecting those made wrong. It is something of the sort” a stitch in time saves not nine

but nine hundred in industry”.

It may also be defined as “Quality control is an effecting system for integrating the

quality development, quality maintenance and quality improvement efforts of various

groups in an organisation so as to enable production and service, at the most economic

levels which allow for full customer satisfaction”. In other words, quality is

everybody’s business and not only the duty of the persons in the Inspection

Department.

NEED: - The quality control is needed due to the following reasons:

a) CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION : - While purchasing a product, the customer

expects that the quality of the product should be accordance with the declared

standard. If the manufacturer fails to achieve quality control, the customer will

be dissatisfied and the firm will lose its reputation in the market.

b) ECONOMY : - one of the major aims of manufacturer is to make a product as

cheap as possible. The quality control activities can achieve setting and

adjustment of machinery in an economical way. This reduces the cost of

production while retaining the desired quality.

c) REDUCTION IN SCRAP : - Quality control ensures the best utilization of

material by locating and rectifying process faults and product defects. Hence the

amount of scrap is reduced to considerable extent.

Page 38: final report

38

d) FEASIBILITY OF USING SPARE PARTS : - It is often desired to replace

certain component parts in a machine. The manufacturers produce spare parts to

supply customers as and when needed. The quality control of products ensures

the interchangeability of spare parts.

BENEFITS OF QUALITY CONTROL

There are many advantages by controlling the product quality. Some of them are listed

below:

a) Improvement in quality.

b) Increased production under same set up.

c) Reduction in cost due to lower rejection and reworking.

d) Reduction in scrap.

e) Reduction in production bottlenecks.

f) Reduction in inspection in terms manpower and equipment cost.

g) Evaluation of quality tolerance with an idea of avoiding uncalled for quality

build-up.

h) Maintenance of operating efficiency.

i) Less customer complaints.

j) Quality consciousness.

k) Obtain feed back from customers.

In IQC Department Incoming Raw Material are inspected in order to:

Eliminate those material which do not meet specification and likely to cause

trouble during processing.

Evaluate vendor’s quality and ability to supply acceptable materials.

Inspection of raw material may involve a visuals check up only, a dimensional

check, a test of physical properties and chemicals composition, etc.

Page 39: final report

39

Raw materials depending upon their characteristics and may require a

sampling inspection

After inspection, the right quality parts are sent either to stock room or

Assembly lines.

Hence Incoming Quality Control department helps to maintain the standard of the

tractors being assembled in International tractor Ltd.

TESTING PROCEDURE OF THE COMPONENTS

The components are tested by the following procedure:-

1) APPEARANCE

2) DIMENSIONS

3) WEIGHT

4) FITMENT

5) FUNCTION/PERFORMANCE

6) MATERIAL

7) PROCESS

8) CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

9) WELDING CHECKING

1) APPERANCE : -

It is the first step to checking appearance of the components means how the

component looks like. Whether its surface is smooth or not? Whether its sharp edges

are chamfered or not? In this step component welding, surface treatment and

machining is also checked.

2) DIMENSIONS : -

It is the most important step of the quality testing of the various components. The

dimensioning means the checking of the dimensions of the component, whether these

are correct or not? The dimensioning is done by certain instruments like the VERNIER

CALLIPER, MICROMETER, BEVEL PROTECTOR, HEIGHT GAUGE etc. By

these measuring instruments the measurement of the dimensions of the component

become very easy. These dimensions are checked with respect to the dimensions given

in the drawing i.e. the required dimensions.

Page 41: final report

41

3) WEIGHT : -

The material of component is also necessary because it gives idea of the material

required for manufacture the component. The weight of the component is measured by

weighing machine. This machine can measure the weight from 500gram to

50000gram. There is scale on the measuring machine, which shows the reading of the

weight.

4) FITMENT : -

Fitment means fitting of the component actually in the vehicle. The component is

then checked whether it fit properly in the relevant position or not. If the component is

fitted properly and then component get accepted otherwise it rejected. So the

acceptation or rejection of the component is also based upon the fitment of the

component.

5) FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE : -

The functional performance of the component is measured after the fitment of the

component. Functional performance means how well the component is functioning in

the vehicle. Stresses produced in the component, fatigue strength, reliability etc is

checked during functional performance process.

6) MATERIAL : -

The material of the component should be able to absorb the stresses produced in

that component. The material may be brittle, hard or tensile as per requirement.

Hardness of the material is generally checked by Rockwell hardness testing machine,

poldi type hardness tester and shore hardness tester.

7) PROCESS : -

Page 42: final report

42

In this step of the quality control of the components the processes of the

components are checked. For making a certain component there are certain processes

by which a component should go through. These processes are made in serial wise and

the component should follow these processes in serial wise. If the processes are serial

wise then component is made exactly according to our requirement. These processes

can be checked only at the production site i.e. where the component is manufactured.

So in case of our industry the processes can only be checked on the vendor side where

the component is manufactured. The processes can be drilling, punching, tapering,

lathing, heat treatment, machining etc.

8) CHEMIAL COMPOSITION : -

There are standard materials, which can be used to make certain components. For a

specific component there is specific material, by only which that component is

manufactured. For the certain component, the material is selected as its requirements

like the stresses produced in the component, its working climate, working time etc. so

it is very necessary to make the component with the required and reliable material.

Material checking is done by the certain instruments and required lots of research. In

PREET TRACTORS PVT. LTD the material checking for chemical composition is not

done.

9) WELDING CHECKING : -

Welding checking is also an important process in the quality testing of the different

components. Welding checking means checking of the strength of the welding. The

components are made of different parts, which are welded with each other to make the

suitable and complete component. So it is very necessary to check the strength of the

welding, in order to maintain strength and quality of the component. Here mainly blow

holes, porosity, welding appearance etc. of the welded component is checked.

PPC DEPARTMENT

PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL

When a product is to be manufactured, the product must be carefully planned to

ensure that proper methods are used and every work center is assigned the amount of

work acc to the capacity. While the product is being manufactured, the production

must be controlled to ensure that the planned output is constantly maintained. Thus

production planning and control consists of two diff and distinct function

PRODUCTION PLANNING + PRODUCTION CONTROL.

Production planning involves management decisions relating to how

much to produce, what materials, parts and tools will be needed, what steps should be

followed in the production process, within what time limit, the production is to be

completed and how much work to be done by each work station.

Production control involves implementation of production plans or

schedules by coordinating different activities. It seeks to ensure that product operations

and actual performance occur according to planned operations and performance

production operations are constantly evaluated, guided and directed along the plans

formulated by the planning department.

The specific objectives of PPC are as follows:-

1. To establish production targets and requirements.

2. To ensure smooth production by removing problems and bottle-necks in

the production process.

3. To coordinate machine and labour for optimum utilization of resources.

4. To guide purchase and supply of materials to suit production rate.

5. To minimize the cost of production and to maintain quality of output.

6. To ensure that jobs are completed in time and the delivery schedule is

maintained.

PURCHASE DEPARTMENT

INTRODUCTION TO PURCHASE DEPARTMENT :- As the name indicate the purchase department is mainly concerned with the purchase

of component & analysts of various parts that are provided by vendors.

The work done by purchase department is:-

a) Costing & analysis

b) Enrolment of new vendors

c) Sample inspection report

d) Monitoring the working of vendor

e) To get submitted the corrective & preventive action report.

f) To cancel the order of defaulter vendor

g) To issue & order to fresh vendor

First have all the costing & professional in this field does analysis of component. The

exact cost is measured by calculating the cost of material & cost of operation done on

the component. The purchase department bargain with the vendor to get the cost

minimized. In the bargaining the profit is kept fixed. Either the cost of transportation is

bared by the vendor or by the company.

To enroll the new vendor the vendor is to fill the enrollment form, which may consist

of following clauses:

1) Name & personal address of vendor

2) Telephone no.

3) Fax no. etc.

For new vendors first of all drawing is provided & he is asked to submit the sample

within a time frame the sample is checked by quality control department & the sample

report is filled & send to vendor.

Page 55: final report

55

If the sample is up to standard & compile with a drawing then vendor is

registered for the order. The vendor is made to sign the bond & cost price paper in

which is bound legally to supply the component stock. The payment is made to vendor

according to agreement. The material from vendor is first of all checked by Q.C.

Department.

TERMS USED IN THE PURCHASE DEPARTMENT

There are some terms which are commonly used in purchase department which

are given below: -

ERN (Engineering Release Note): -

When a new drawing is released from the R & D department it is released with

a number called the engineering change note. To every drawing there is certain ERN

no.

ECN (Engineering Change Note): -

When ever some changes are made in the drawings then the changed drawing is

released with the ECN number. It is done so because of the feedback from the

production side. This change is shown by an alphabetic letter, like a, b, c etc.

I.O.M. (Inter Office Memo): -

It is a document that is issued with in the different department of the division

from purchase department to tell them to do the needful work as

desired per company requirements.

PURCHASE ORDER: -

The purchase order is given to the vendor which includes the details and the

prices of the components which are to be purchased from the vendor.

Page 56: final report

56

VENDOR REGISTRATION FORM: -

Vendor registration form (VRF) is a pre-printed document containing a

standard list of questions which are required to be filled by the prospective vendor. The

filled in VRF are preserved by the Purchase Department for future reference.

SAMPLE INSPECTION REPORT:-

Sample inspection report (SIR) is an inspection report listing the quality

parameters and specifications that are required to be checked by the quality control.

The actual result of Q.C. is mentioned on the SIR against each quality parameter.

Based on the result the sample is either accepted or rejected.

PROJECT NO.1

AIM: - To make Hardness chart of various parts of tractor so that ease in checking

the incoming quality of various components.

REQUIREMENT OF HARDNESS CHART

If any component which is come under line rejection in quality control for

mainly hardness then there is no need to open the control plan of that

components, simply see the hardness of that component from hardness chart and

check it again with suitable instrument.

It is easy to locate the component control plan from the file by note the

component part no. from the hardness chart.

It is beneficial for trainee students and for trainee engineers that they not know

hardness of various components of tractors.

Project No. 2

AIM: - To implement power steering on the tractor to make the steering simpler and

easier.

REQUIREMENT OF THIS PROJECT

1. Larger amount of torque is required to be applied by the driver for steering of

medium and heavy vehicles

2. Heavy vehicles such as Off-road trucks, fork lifts, earth moving machines, and

tractors demands high steering forces.

3. Mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the steered wheels would be

more difficult and expensive in compact design vehicles.

APPLICATIONS

• Agriculture

• Construction

• Forklift trucks

• Lawn and garden

• Mini tractors

• Municipal vehicles

COMPONENTS OF POWER STEERING

1. STEERING WHEEL: - its diameter is 350mm [14 inch.], 3 spoke steering

wheel with knob standard and optional horn button.

2. STEERING COLUMN

Steering columns connect the steering wheel to the steering unit.

The steering column must be supported when its length exceeds 150 mm.

The mounting of the steering column must be properly aligned so that the steering

unit can return to neutral position automatically after a steering action has been

completed.

The construction of the steering column must ensure that no axial or radial forces

are transferred to the steering unit input shaft.

Page 65: final report

65

3) STEERING UNIT

It has four ports, one is connected to tank or reservoir, one is connected to pump,

and remaining two is connected to steering cylinder.

It controls the flow of oil in different ports.

It is rigidly fixed with steering column.

4) PUMP

It provides the oil to the pump.

It has two ports one is connected to steering column and other is connected to

pump.

The oil used must be filtered for better working of the system.

A magnetic insert is recommended when using filters larger than 25 micron.

Page 66: final report

5. STEERING CYLINDERS:-

The steering cylinder used in this power steering is double acting balanced

cylinder.

Balanced cylinders are compact and eliminate differences between steering

wheel turns and steering forces because of equal volumes.

6. PUMP:-

The hydraulic power for the steering is provided by a Gear Pump (see diagram

below).

Page 67: final report

67

This pump is driven by the tractor's engine via a belt and pulley.

Correct pump sizing is important in avoiding unnecessary energy consumption, or

slow response to steering demand.

It supplies the required pressure to oil.

HOW TO SIZE THE CORRECT STEERING

SYSTEM

STEP 1. TOTAL STEERING TORQUE:-

Total steering torque, T = C.f (√B2/8 + E2 ) kgmm

Where C = Load on the steered axle (in kgmm)

E = King pin offset (in m)

B = Tyre breadth (in m)

LOAD ON THE STEERED AXLE,

C = 1030 (LOAD ON FRONT STEERING)

+2000 (Load of the loader)

C = 3030 kg

E/B = 60/190 = .316

(WHERE B=190,E=60)

F = 0.4 (from above graph )

Page 70: final report

70

Where F= coefficient of friction(dimensionless).Based on 0.7

As maximum.

T = 3030X0.4 √(190)2/8+(60)2 kgmm = 3030X0.4X90.07 kgmm

T = 109164.13 kgmm

STEP 2. FORCE REQUIRED FOR AXLE :-

F= Mr/Rmin.

Where F = Required piston rod force (in kg),

Rmin. = Minimum effective radius arm (mm)

F= 109164.13/100 kg

F = 1091.64 kg

A = F/P cm2

Where A = Pushing cylinder area (mm2),

P = Steering max. pressure in bar

For vehicle with a steered axle that can never be overloaded use 80% of the steering

circuit relief valve setting. For moderately loaded vehicles use 60%. For vehicles that

can be severely overloaded use 30%.

A = 1091.64/90 = 12.13 cm2

A = 1213 mm2

Page 71: final report

71

STEP 3. SELECTING STEERING UNIT DISPLACEMENT:-

Before proceeding further, a decision must be made as to the number of steering wheel

revolutions desired for the application to steer the axle from full one side to the.

Depending on vehicle usage, this will vary, normally 2 1/2 to 5 1/2 with 4 being a good

typical value.

Area of cylinder, A = Π/4[(D)2-(d)2] = Π/4[(60)2-(36)2]

A= 1808 mm2

As 1808 > 1213

Therefore it is acceptable.

Stroke length, S = 175 mm

Volume, V = 1808X175mm3 = 316400mm3

V = 316.4 cm3 ,The volume of oil required to move cylinder rod(s) through the entire

stroke.

Total wheel turns, N = 3

Therefore, steering unit displacement, Cu = V/N = 316/3 cm3/rev.

Cu = 105 cm3/rev.

As the calculations are complete, we select the closest standard steering unit

displacement (i.e. 100 cc unit) from catalog information.

STEP 4. CALCULATING REQUIRED PUMP FLOW :-

We select Dowty pump IP 30 28,which has discharge of 12.7 liter at 1500 rpm.

At 1000 rpm its discharge will be = 12.7X1000/1500

= 8.5 liter/min.

Hence at 1000 engine rpm, we shall be able to get 8.5 liter./min. which means we can

steer wheel = 8.5X1000/100 = 85 rpm which is fairly ok and at 2000 rpm of engine

we shall be able to steer wheel by 170 rpm.

STEERING TROUBLE SHOOTING

EXCESSIVE BACKLASH IN STEERING :- The most probable cause of

this trouble is the slackness in the steering linkage due to wear of bell joints and

steering.

WANDER :- When the vehicle is being driven straight, it turns slightly to one

side and when the driver turns the steering to bring it back to the straight ahead,

it turns slightly to the other side, thus the driver has to adjust steering constantly

to keep the vehicle direction straight, the effect is called wander.

PULLING TO ONE SIDE :- Sometimes the vehicle constantly pulls towards

one side.

WHEEL WOBBLE(LOW SPEED SHIMMY) :- The oscillation of the

front wheels at low speeds is called wobble.

HIGH SPEED SHIMMY :- The oscillation of the front wheels at high speed

is called high speed shimmy.

WHEEL TRAMP :- Sometimes the front wheels of vehicle at high speeds

vibrate so violently that an almost uncontrollable motion of the vehicle is

caused that is called wheel tramp.

EXCESSIVE TYRE WEAR :- This is normally due to incorrect tyre

pressure, excessive toe-in or toe-out.

HARD STEERING :- When the effort required for steering is more than the

normal steering force.

POOR RETURNABILITY :- Poor return of the steering wheel to centre

may be due incorrect tyre pressure, tight or frozen steering shaft bearing, and

incorrect front wheel alignment.
