Mining Engineering Calculators

Practical, client-side engineering and operational calculators for mining maintenance teams — estimate downtime cost, plan pin and bush line boring repairs, size hydraulic cylinders and verify bolt torque. No data leaves your browser.

Downtime Cost Estimator

Estimate the production cost of equipment downtime to quantify the value of fast line boring, machining or field service. Figures are indicative — contact NLC Engineering for a tailored response.

Pin & Bush Repair Allowance

Calculate the oversize pin diameter, required bush bore and material removal for a line boring pin and bush repair. Useful for planning an in-situ line boring job on loaders, excavators and haul trucks.

Results
Measured wear0.80 mm
New oversize pin Ø100.50 mm
Required bush bore100.65 mm
Pin material to remove1.30 mm
Bush material to remove1.30 mm

Hydraulic Cylinder Force

Calculate the extend and retract force of a hydraulic cylinder from bore, rod diameter and pressure. Useful for sizing cylinders, verifying hydraulic pulls and assessing component repair requirements.

Extend force
157.1 kN
≈ 16.0 tonne-force
Retract force
107.8 kN
≈ 11.0 tonne-force

Bolt Torque & Preload

Estimate tightening torque and preload for a metric bolted joint using the standard T = K·F·d relationship. Indicative only — always verify against OEM specifications for critical assemblies.

Tightening torque
441 Nm
Preload force110.3 kN
Proof stress (8.8)600 MPa
Tensile stress area245 mm²
