WHAT IS HOIST ?

A hoist is a device use for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift wheel around which rope or chain wraps. In every case of hoist, two equations can be written down : a) The equation for the balance of couple at the hoist drum. b) The equation for the balance of force at the load

OBJECTIVE OF HOIST

Apply basic principal of hoist in this machine. Use suitable concept to solve related problem. To understand the concept of dynamic rotation.

CASE STUDY

HOIST OF GYM EQUIPMENT

THEORY

The gym equipment is created to build body fitness The gym equipment is use based on hoist principle. The load can be lifted by using pulley system. When the load is step up, it related to case up where the moment of direction (a.g) is upwards. The athlete must use both hands when pulled the load in order to make the force applied is balanced. The gym equipment has track to prevent the rope slip from the track. The rope will move by following the track. When the load is step up, it is protected by the stopper to avoid the load moving out of the limits. The barrier is place at the leg to make sure we fall down when we release the load.

LOAD MATERIAL : - the load is made by the steel and its covered with rubber.

ADVANTAGES OF HOIST GYM EQUIPMENT

ADVANTAGES :
- quick and easy handling heavy load. - more safety to transfer load comparing without using a machine. - more comfortable. - its more versatility because can do more types of exercise in one equipment incase up direction.

DISADVANTAGES OF HOIST GYM EQUIPMENT

From what we had discovered, there are a few problem involve in this case : - rope off - the load too tight to pull

SOLUTION

1) Rope off
- Reaction between rope and lifting machine produce friction. Therefore, the diameter of the rope will erodible faster.

Solution - kept maintaining the machine by using lubricating oil. - Don't lift the heavy load continuously

2) The load too tight to pull

- the lifting machine can not roll perfectly. the rustiness on the shaft.

- the lifting machine stuck.

Solution
- kept maintaining the machine by using lubricating oil. Put the gym machine at the suitable place

CONCLUSION

The gym equipment is related with hoist, where freely release applied.
