Description: Our aim is to design a R.G Blower in which instead of the grid coupling, a bush pin coupling is used so as to reduce the degree of blower  failures due to the failure of a coupling. By doing so the work labour and manpower is reduced to half the amount when used with a grid coupling.
The failure of the R.G. Blower  occurs  due  to  the  failing  of  the coupling  used  in  the  blower. Presently Grid Coupling is used in the blower.  A  coupling  is  a  device  used  to  connect  two  shafts  together  at  their  ends  for  the  purpose  of transmitting  power. Couplings  do  not normally  allow disconnection    of shafts  during  operation , however  there  are  torque limiting  couplings  which  can  slip  or  disconnect  when  some  torque  limit  is exceeded. The  primary  purpose  of  couplings  is  to  join  two  pieces of  rotating  equipment  while  permitting  some  degree  of  misalignment  or  end  movement  or  both.  By  careful  selection, installation  and  maintenance  of  couplings,  substantial  savings  can be   made in  reduced  maintenance  costs  and  downtime.
