• Stability mining and construction machinery

  

  The stability of any piece of machinery is related to the centre of gravity position and reference point or line.The new EN and ISO standards define the stability of machines in reference to the stability angle. AAAO-EC provides services to verify the stability angle and ensure that appropriate controls are implemented to maintain the stability...

• Steel Wire Rope- Safety Factors

  

  The Australian standard AS2759, requires that the minimum design factor for Steel Wire Ropes under general conditions (Safety Factors (SF)) is  λ = 4 for stationary rope and λ = 5 for running rope. The below picture is a puzzle which illustrates the safety factors to be considered for steel wire ropes. Contact AAAO-EC if you have any queries in regards to the...

• Steel coils handling C-Hook

  

  Handling heavy steel coils (i.e. in the range of OD 2100 mm/ID 600 mm/ width from 79 mm up to 610 mm) is not a simple task. The crane hook's lifting point with the C-Hook must lie on the vertical line that passes through the centre of gravity of the crane hook and steel coils.  Considering the various width of...

• Tribology

  Tribology is the science of friction wherever relative motion occur between two elements ( pairs). We need friction in our life! But when transporting-transferring energy we have to reduce the friction in particular coefficient of friction. AAAO-Engineering has been researching and incorporating Tribology principals into our engineering designs for more than a decade.  We specialise...
