Abstract
In the never ending quest for increased production, many times the limiting factor is the mechanical drive system for the driven equipment (pumps, grinding mills, conveyors). This paper provides a step-by-step approach to uprating existing mechanical drive systems for increased production. Advances in mechanical drive system design, manufacturing and material technologies allow existing equipment to be uprated or replaced with components of significantly higher power density
