jbj Techniques and the Bloodhound SSC project - 2

Specialist power transmission supplier jbj Techniques Limited, of Redhill, Surrey, were recently contacted by the staff of Bloodhound SSC R&D engineering team to solve a problem on the fuel pump test rig. jbj Techniques had worked with various team members in the past and this previous experience made ‘jbj’ an easy choice to assist with this project. The scope of supply was to produce a suitable drive coupling with a maximum diameter of 160mm which is capable of transmitting 550Nm @ 10,000 rpm, needed to be as short an assembly as possible and at the same time be able to accept misalignment...

The coupling under went dynamic balancing before delivery because of the high speeds it needed to perform at. The specication was 550Nm at 10,000rpm and it had to be 160mm maximum diameter, as short as possible, t to an automotive output ange and allow as much misalignment as possible. Not a job for a simple spider coupling! The Lovejoy ‘Sier Bath’ coupling was the perfect solution. Seen below mounted to the end-suction centrifugal pump. which contains the actual (solid) fuel (rubber). The other engine is a jet and does not require a separate pump. The end-suction centrifugal pump is...

Setting up test rig inside old MOD hangar in Newquay, Cornwall. Fuel tank. For the test it contains water to be pumped through at the same speed and pressure that fuel will be pumped during the actual land speed record attempt. This ange connects to the pipeline seen here above. This is the fuel line.

As a foot note it is a matter of company pride that the coupling specified and supplied by jbj Techniques performed in exactly the way it was supposed to. The research and development process has only added to the knowledge base needed to help Bloodhound SSC succeed in its mission of breaking the land speed record but most importantly of all inspiring the young to be the future engineers that shape the World we all live in. We are all eager to see Bloodhound SSC 'flying' across Hakskeen Pan in South Africa, driven by Wing Commander Andy D. Green OBE BA RAF the British Royal Air Force...
