EG-163 Solidworks Assignment 2 Design and provide manufacturing drawings for a bicycle front chain ring.

The assignment is to draw a front chain ring and crank assembly for a bicycle. Students must draw in 3D using Solidworks a right hand crank, a toothed chain ring and a set of fixing bolts. The detail of the design is as follows: Chain ring Firstly calculate X. If your student number is ABCDEF then X=A+B+C+D+15 to give a number between 15-55. Your chain ring must have this number of teeth. Bicycle chain links are half an inch (0.5) apart, so through the use of pi you can calculate the diameter of the chain ring at the teeth. The chain ring is steel and 2mm thick. Do not attempt to make the chain ring thinner towards the outside of the teeth. The shape of the tooth is not fixed and this may be approximated. You will be asked to dimension this later so do not make it too complex. The number of bolts holding the two parts together is related to the last two digits (EF) of your student number as follows: Last 2 digits of student number 00-25 26-50 51-75 76-99 Number of bolts in your design 3 4 5 6

The bolt holes are 8mm diameter. They will all be located the same distance from the bottom bracket axle on the same diameter, and you may choose this diameter as appropriate for the size of your sprocket. This diameter is known as the pitch circle diameter or PCD for short. Bolts are steel, metric 8mm thread (M8) with a thread length of 9mm, and have a hexagonal hole for a standard allen key (6mm across the flats) the hex hole should be at least 5mm deep, or can be all the way through the part (as shown in green on the picture). The bolt head is 1.5mm high and 12mm outside diameter. You need to draw these bolts as well. They attach directly to threads in the crank (this is similar to the fixing for the inner ring on a normal 3 ring chain set) Crank The crank is aluminium, with threaded holes for the bolts. The bottom bracket axle fixing is a standard Shimano square taper (14mm square on the frame side, tapering by 2 degrees). This is shown in the picture to the left. The pedal attaches 175mm from the centre on a 9/16 thread at 20TPI (Threads per inch). Horizontal dimensions, working outwards from the axle at the bottom of the frame (the bottom bracket) are: The inside face of the chain ring is 12mm from the inside (frame side) face of the crank as shown by the orange arrow. The outside face of the crank where the pedal attaches is 44mm from the inside face as shown by the blue arrow. The bottom bracket is positioned at the bottom of this image.

Drawings to hand in Use A3 paper, stapled together with check sheet on the front. You may put more than one set of drawings on a sheet, but do not squash them together. 1. Front and side views of the crank, correctly dimensioned with hidden detail. There should be enough dimensions in order to be able to make the crank. Scale 1:1. See dimensioning tips below. 2. Front view of the chain ring, with dimensions. Scale 1:1. Add a text note at the bottom of the page to describe the thickness. Detail view of one tooth, with dimensions. Scale larger than full size. Two views of the bolt, scale 2:1, with dimensions. 3. Assembly drawing, front, side and isometric views, with hidden detail. Scale is your choice, but 1:2 may be most suitable to fit on the page. No dimensions on this drawing. It should be possible to check that you have correctly assembled the parts from this drawing.

Dimensioning tips 1. Firstly look in BS308 (pdf in blackboard) for examples. 2. Threads simply need a thread designation on the outer diameter/ Replace the diameter symbol with M8. For multiple threads, 5xM8 is correct. 3. If you have fillets of the same diameter, then a note at the bottom of the page to say All fillets radius 4mm unless otherwise stated is correct. 4. Dimension the taper with a size across the largest side and an angle dimension. Put a square 14 in front of the dimension to make it clear it is a square hole.

Centre lines must sections, use a single line for the whole end in open space and NOT end touching another line. They are length. thin lines. Centre lines extend a short distance from the feature they are marking. Centre lines do NOT extend between views. Centre lines are NOT used for dimensions. Dimension lines are thin, have an arrow that is visible, and visible numbers above or to the left of the line. There is a visible gap between the number and the line they are above. Numbers are not in contact with any lines whatsoever.

Circular components dimensioned with a diameter symbol . The minimum number of dimensions have been used to fully dimension the part so that there would be no ambiguity for a person manufacturing the component, and no dimensions are repeated on different views. Holes are dimensioned from centre to centre to avoid accumulation of tolerances. There are no extra lines anywhere on the page or any missing lines or gaps or spelling mistakes.
