Abstract

The problems for non-rotating of a disc cutter proceed from the faults in inner parts of the disc cutter such as the leak of hydraulic fluid, the intrusion of tunnel mucks and water, overloading, overheating, poor assembly and substandard material. The rotating of a disc cutter is an indicator to show that the inner parts of disc cutter is operable, although the rotational torque depends on the extent of the damage. Therefore, the key in the problems for non-rotating of disc cutter is to maintain that the tapered roller bearings are working properly. This study aims to investigate the inner parts disassembled from disc cutters applied to the field tests in order to help decision for reuse of the disc cutters. As results, surface finishing to remove the scratch on the load zone of the hubs is needed, with the intent to reuse a hub. And the investigation of lapping surface by optical microscope of floating seals and the contamination test of oil need to be performed for reuse of a disc cutter. Especially, the analysis results show that the floating seals play a key role in the normal operation of bearings. There is nothing significant to report in the rest parts such as bearing, shaft, seal retainers.

디스크커터 내부부품의 손상과 관련된 원인은 씰(seal)부의 손상으로 인한 윤활유 부족, 토사 및 수분의 침투, 과부하, 과열, 조립문제, 소재문제 등이 있으며 손상 정도에 따라 디스크커터의 작동여부, 즉 회전이 가능한지가 나타난다. 따라서 디스크커터 회전문제에서의 핵심은 베어링의 작동여부라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 TBM의 굴착도구인 디스크커터의 재활용에 도움이 되고자 현장 적용된 디스크커터를 회수한 후 분해하여 내부부품을 조사하고 분석하였다. 그 결과, 허브의 부하영역에서의 스크래치는 재활용을 위해 가공작업이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 플로팅 씰의 래핑면과 오일상태는 재활용을 위한 성능파악에 필요한 시험으로 판단되었다. 특히 플로팅 씰은 베어링의 정상작동여부에 중요한 영향을 미치는 부품으로 파악되었다. 그 외의 베어링, 샤프트, 씰 리테이너에서는 특이사항이 없는 것으로 나타났다.
