A first clearance for the first row of bearings for the first raceway is less than a second clearance for the second row of bearings for the second raceway, which is less than a third clearance for the third row of bearings for the third raceway, such that the first row of bearings initially supports most of the radial load applied to the tricone bit.
An air-cooled tricone bit (100) having an air conduit (310, 312) corresponding to individual cones (102) of the tricone bit (100) is filled with lubricant or grease with particles therein is disclosed. The grease may include fullerene-like particles, such as tungsten disulfide, molybdenum disulfide, graphene, graphite, or the like. By packing the air conduit (310, 312) of the tricone bit (100) with the grease with particles, the grease with particles may flow during an initial break-in period of the tricone bit (100) to coat the internal components of the tricone bit (100). This reduces the friction between the internal components of the tricone bit (100), such as journal bases (200), cones (102), and/or bearing elements (204, 206, 208). The reduced friction between the internal components of the tricone bit (100) result in reduced wear, both during the break-in period and after the break-in period. The reduced wear results in a greater operating lifetime of the tricone bits (100).

Machines can operate based on electricity received from a charging rail system installed along a route at a worksite. Sensors on the machines capture image data indicating locations and/or orientations of components of the charging rail system. Machine controllers of the machine, and/or a worksite controller, can monitor the integrity of the charging rail system by detecting possible faults if the locations and/or orientations of one or more components vary by more than a threshold amount from target locations and/or orientations. The machine controllers and/or the worksite controller can also initiate one or more response actions when a possible fault in the charging rail system is detected.
A thermal management system for an exothermic process includes cooling units, each including a hot coolant port through which coolant heated by the exothermic process flows and a cold coolant port through which the coolant that has been heat reduced by the cooling units flows. A pair of mounting rails have respective interior chambers that are in fluid communication with corresponding coolant ports formed on the respective mounting rails. Conduits interconnect the coolant port of one of the mounting rails to the hot coolant port of each of the cooling units and the coolant port of the other one of the mounting rails to the cold coolant port of each of the cooling units.
A work machine, such as a tractor or skid steer, has a motion sensor attached to a segment of a continuous ground-engaging track in its undercarriage. The motion sensor generates motion data indicative of a change in motion for the track segment as the track rotates around a track assembly. An electronic controller for the work machine receives and evaluates the motion data, first to identify a location of the track segment within the undercarriage and then to compare the motion data with expected motion data for the track segment under normal track tension. Motion data outside a range of the expected motion data indicates an abnormal sag in the track, causing the electronic controller to generate an alert for adjustment of the track tension.

A work machine includes a load bucket and operator controls for controlling position of the load bucket. The work machine can include an actuator assembly coupled to hold the load bucket in a position based upon signals from the operator controls. The actuator assembly can include a motor and a brake assembly. The brake assembly can include a non-spring-coupled brake and a spring-coupled brake. The work machine can further include control circuitry coupled to the actuator assembly to activate the spring-coupled brake responsive to detection that the non-spring-coupled brake is holding the load bucket stationary. The control circuitry can further control the motor to apply additional braking force upon detecting that a magnitude of oscillation of the work machine exceeds a threshold magnitude based on a damping coefficient of the spring-coupled brake.
Operating a fuel injector in a fuel system for an engine includes energizing a first solenoid actuator to move a spill valve from a first position to a second, closed position, and energizing a second solenoid actuator to move a fuel injection valve in the fuel injector from a closed position to an open position. A pull-in tier of a waveform energizing the second solenoid actuator is generated via a first current produced by a boosted voltage power supply and a second current produced by a lower voltage power supply. Arrival timing of the valve at the open position is detected based on a property of the second current, such that a valve arrival timing error may be used to trim the fuel injector. Related methodology and control logic is also disclosed.

TRACK RAIL FASTENING SYSTEM HAVING CANTILEVERED THIRD RAIL SUPPORT BRACKET AND DIRECT FIXATION FASTENER ASSEMBLY FOR SAME
A track rail fastening system includes a direct fixation fastener assembly having a direct fixation fastener, and a laterally elongated support block. Fastener holes for receiving fastener-clamping fasteners, and fastener holes for receiving bracket-clamping fasteners, are formed in the support block. The respective sets of fastener holes are arranged in different anchor patterns. Fastener-clamping fasteners are received in one of the sets of fastener holes and claim direct fixation fastener to the support block. Bracket-clamping fasteners clamp a third-rail support bracket to the support block, and are received in one of the sets of fastener holes. The third-rail support bracket is cantilevered to the support block.
The present invention pertains to a detection method for detecting a short-lived speed sensing anomaly of an internal combustion engine. The detection method comprises the steps of performing a sensor health check, detecting an engine speed deviation, performing a torque deviation check and identifying whether the detected engine speed deviation refers to a short-lived speed sensing anomaly based on the sensor health check and the torque deviation check. Furthermore, a device suitable for carrying out the detection method according to the present disclosure may be provided, comprising a control unit configured to perform the detection method according to the invention.
In some implementations, a controller of a work machine may obtain a first operator input associated with a shuttle shift input component of the work machine. The controller may obtain a second operator input associated with changing a position of a rotatable operator seat of the work machine. The controller may cause, in response to obtaining both the first operator input and the second operator input, a direction of movement of the work machine to change from a first direction to a second direction.
An annular seal (10) for use in a hydraulic device provides a static seal between two components (15) of the hydraulic device that do not move relative to each other. The annular seal has a cross-section that is substantially M-shaped along one of an inner diameter circumferential surface of the annular seal or an outer diameter circumferential surface of the annular seal. The other of the inner diameter circumferential surface or the outer diameter circumferential surface of the annular seal includes opposite side cylindrical portions (422, 424) extending substantially parallel to a central axis (400) of the annular seal (10) with a concave central portion (436) disposed between the opposite side cylindrical portions (422, 424).
