1]Introduction:
This project delves into the fascinating world of hoist mechanisms, the workhorses responsible for lifting
and lowering objects. We will embark on a journey to design and understand the intricate workings of a
hoist, exploring its various components, functionalities, and principles.

Motivation:

Hoists play a crucial role in various sectors, from construction and manufacturing to transportation and
logistics. Their ability to efficiently handle heavy loads makes them indispensable across diverse
applications. By understanding their design, we gain valuable insights into mechanical concepts like
power transmission, force amplification, and safety considerations.

➢ Types of hoists:
Chain hoists

electric hoists

➢ Key components: Motors, gearboxes, brakes, drums, ropes, hooks, and safety features.

➢ Design considerations: Load capacity, lifting height, lifting speed, power source, and safety
regulations.

➢ Applications of hoists: Various industries and sectors where hoists play a critical role.

2]Design of Wire Rope:
2.1) Calculations:
➢ We will design our hoist mechanism in 2 tons to can easily use standard tables as it actually starts
from 1.5 tons up to …...

First iteration:
Assumption:

• Material: AISI 1060(Sy = 524MPa, Sut = 800 MPa)

• Safety factor: ns = 8(static load), ns = 6(Dynamic load) d
✓ Static load:
𝑃 2 × 104 8 × 104
𝜎𝑥 = = 𝜋 =
𝐴 𝜋 × 𝑑2
4
8 × 104
𝜎1 = , 𝜎3 = 0
𝜋 × 𝑑2

➢ By using Max shear stress theory (Tressa):

𝑆𝑦
|𝜎1 − 𝜎2 | =
𝑛𝑠
𝒅 ≥ 𝟏𝟗 𝒎𝒎
✓ Dynamic Load:
𝐹𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 20𝐾𝑁 𝐹𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 0
8 × 104
𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 0
𝜋 × 𝑑2
4 × 104
𝜎𝑚 = 𝜎𝑎 =
𝜋 × 𝑑2
Endurance limit:
𝑆𝑒′ = 0.45 𝑆𝑢𝑡 = 360 𝑀𝑃𝑎

𝐾𝑓 = 57.7 × 800−0.718 = 0.475 (hot rolling, but it is not true)

𝐾𝑠 = 1.248 × 20−0.112 = 0.89
𝑆𝑒 = 152.58 𝑀𝑃𝑎
➢ By using Goodmen theory:
𝒅 ≥ 𝟑𝟏. 𝟔𝟒 𝒎𝒎

 ➢ But this is illogical as from tables, standard diameter for 2 tons is about 7 mm , so
we will make second iteration to become more clear

Second Iteration:
Assumption:

• Material: G10450, AISI 1045(Sy = 530 MPa, Sut = 630 MPa)

• Safety factor: ns = 6(static load), ns = 5(Dynamic load) d
✓ Static load:
𝑃 2 × 104 8 × 104
𝜎𝑥 = = 𝜋 =
𝐴 𝜋 × 𝑑2
4 p

8 × 104
𝜎1 = , 𝜎3 = 0
𝜋 × 𝑑2
➢ By using Max shear stress theory (Tressa)

𝑆𝑦
|𝜎1 − 𝜎2 | =
𝑛𝑠

𝒅 ≥ 𝟏𝟕𝒎𝒎
✓ Dynamic Load:
𝐹𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 20𝐾𝑁 𝐹𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 0
8 × 104
𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 0
𝜋 × 𝑑2
4 × 104
𝜎𝑚 = 𝜎𝑎 =
𝜋 × 𝑑2
Endurance limit:
𝑆𝑒′ = 0.45 𝑆𝑢𝑡 = 283.5 𝑀𝑃𝑎

𝐾𝑓 = 1.248 × 𝑑−0.112 = 0.9 ()

𝐾𝑠 = 1.248 × 20−0.112 = 0.9
𝐾𝑟 = 0.9
𝑆𝑒 = 187.6 𝑀𝑃𝑎
➢ By using Goodmen theory:
𝒅 ≥ 𝟐𝟏 𝒎𝒎
➢ We closed to the number in table but also is not true and bigger than 6 mm that
is why??

2.3) Construction of wire rope:

Wires are the basic building blocks of a wire rope. They lay around a “center” in a specified pattern in
one or more layers to form a strand. The strands are helically laid together around a center, typically
some type of core, to form a wire rope.

The strands provide all the tensile strength of a fiber core rope and over 90% of the strength of a typical
6-strand wire rope with an independent wire rope core.

Properties like fatigue resistance and resistance to abrasion are directly affected by the design of strands.

In most strands with two or more layers of wires, inner layers support outer layers in such a manner that
all wires may slide and adjust freely when the rope bends.

As a general rule, a rope that has strands made up of a few large wires will be more abrasion resistant
and less fatigue resistant than a rope of the same size made up of strands with many smaller wires. The
basic strand constructions are illustrated at right.

And there are many types of this constructions of wire like in the following:

The suitable classification for this application is

6 × 19 .

We will choose IE3 premium efficiency ABB motors. (Locking Mechanism is included inside the electric motor)

Specifically, M2BAX315MLB4 as shown in the ABB standard, 1488 rpm (Fig-4.1.1)

IP 55 - IC 411 - Insulation class F, temperature rise class B, IE3 efficiency class according to IEC 60034-30-

5.3) Gear Selection:

As the critical speed ranges from 1020.6 to 1435 then we will need to reduce the motor velocity
using a gear box.

1. Calculating the velocity of ascending practically (Video)

2. The load takes 11 seconds to reach the 7th floor.
3. Assume each floor is 3 m in Height.

6]Pulley Design:

This pulley is used to redirect the force to keep the rope vertical while
raising or lowering the load and an essential component in the hoist
mechanism which should run very smoothly on its shaft (Fig-5.1)

Fig-5.1
6.1) Pulley Selection:

Its selection is mainly depend on the wire diameter as mentioned in section 2.3

Wire Diameter

Referring to the following table (Fig-5.1)

Fig-5.2

Choose second row with Wire Rope Diameter = 1/4 inch (Fig-5.1.2)

6.2) Pulley Design using SolidWorks:

Machine Design 25 | P a g e
Machine Design 26 | P a g e
7]Considerations:

7.1) Safety Factor:

Taking main parts in the mechanism:

1. Motor and Shaft

2. Hook
3. Pulley (Upward) to redirect the wire.
4. Pulley (Downward) for Mechanical Advantage

• Part (1,2,4) should have a very high safety factor because failing in anyone of them will lead to
failure in holding the load and the load will fall off causing damage.
• Part (3) we can decrease its safety factor w.r.t to the rest, because if it failed the rope will be
strangled with structure of the mechanism so the load will not fall off.

7.2) Mechanical Advantage:

• Adding this pulley before the hook will make a mechanical advantage.
• The tension in the wire is constant.
• The rope is designed to hold 2 tons.
• Using mechanical advantage, it can hold up to 4 tons.
• It will increase the safety factor of the whole mechanism.
