Introduction

1. Introduction
A hoist is an essential mechanical tool that is widely used in industrial settings to
efficiently and precisely lift or lower heavy goods. Hoists are devices that enable the vertical
or horizontal transportation of weights in warehouses, factories, building sites, and other
industrial locations. They work by wrapping a rope or chain around a drum or lift-wheel.
A hoist's primary goal is to expedite material handling procedures by making it easier
to transfer large, dangerous, or awkward objects that would be dangerous to move by hand.
Hoists provide adaptability in lifting activities by utilizing many power options, including
electric, manual, or pneumatic systems. This allows them to accommodate a wide range of
weight capacities and operational requirements.

Hoists are essential for improving efficiency, safety, and production in industrial
settings. They minimize manual labor, speed material handling operations, and lower the
risk of workplace hazards related to physical lifting. Additionally, hoists help the
manufacturing, shipping, and construction industries maximize operational throughput,
guarantee timely delivery of items, and optimize workflow operations.
The hoist mechanism is an essential part of contemporary industrial operations, and
it is always evolving to meet the increasing needs of material handling jobs and industrial
output. It incorporates cutting-edge technologies and engineering breakthroughs. The work
here will outline our process for creating a functional hoist using our design at a reasonable
cost through iteration and scratch design.

Commonly used in manufacturing for several reasons:
 Versatility: Research indicates the use of carbon steel, including AISI 1020
(UNS G10200), in manufacturing due to its versatility and wide range of
applications across different industries.
 Strength and Hardness: While research papers may not directly specify
Steel 1020 G10200 HR, carbon steels in general gain hardness and strength
with heat treatment, making them suitable for manufacturing applications
where these properties are required.

in manufacturing processes.
In this arrangement, the key functions as a mechanical fuse; if the load is too great, it will
fail before the shaft or drum.
NOTE: Since the shaft and drum are the most vital parts of the mechanism, we can alter the
safety factor to make the shaft and drum the most secure parts of the mechanism.

Design Assumptions

The IP41 308W motor typically does not require a gearbox. It is commonly
used as a gearless motor in elevator systems, where it provides sufficient power to lift
loads ranging from 630kg to 1000kg. Gearless motors are designed to directly drive
the elevator traction sheave without the need for a gearbox, resulting in a simpler
and more efficient system. Therefore, in most elevator applications, the IP41 308W
motor operates effectively without the use of a gearbox.

3. Force analysis

3.1. Force Analysis for the Wire Rope Drum

It was challenging to analyze the loads by a wire rope wrapped around a wire drum,
there were many approaches, many papers to go with. However, we used practical and
mental approach to solve this problem, and ended up with these assumptions to be valid for
this system and the ones that fit this cased in applicable manner.
1. The load on the wire rope is distributed along the whole wire
2. The wire rope applies a radial (Normal) force on the drum
3. The wire will resist the wrapping condition due to the elasticity of its material, thus a
force opposite to the radial force is present.
4. There is a level of friction between the wire rope and the drum
5. In each turn of the wire rope the radial forces are reduced due to friction loses
6. The other end of the wire rope will still hold a tension (this is why 𝑓0 is not zero)
Considering all these assumptions, and other evidences found in many research papers,
and similar projects, we found out that a triangular load distribution is the fittest solution to
our case. To achieve equilibrium we made this distribution with this property:
0.375
∫0 𝑤(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝑊

NOTE: other types of distributions were used in other similar projects, but this distribution is
still justified and valid for our application.
The other aspect of the solution is what is the position that applies the highest stress
on the system? To answer this question we used our experience in other projects, and also
utilized custom software tools developed by our team to get precise results. We found if the
load is acting at the middle of the length of the drum this give the most stress.

NOTE: this result still not the most accurate, as we made some simplifications on the
system. Please see the future work section for more details.

As we have four unknown reaction, we will use integration method to find the unknowns RA,
RB, MA and MB
We have the following boundary conditions (at the middle point)
𝜃R = 𝜃L , VR =VL
We consider A and B to be fixed supports.
𝜃A = 𝜃B = 0 , VA = V B = 0

NTOE: We know in advance that all constants of integration will be equal to zero, as we
consider A and B to be fixed supports
Now, we should term four equations to solve for the unknowns.
EQ1: ∑ 𝑀A =0
1 (0.375)2
RB × 0.75 + MB = fo (0.375)2 × 2 + (f1-fo) × 3

EQ2: ∑ 𝐹 y= 0
RA + RB= w
Integration methods:

EQ3: ∫ 𝑀1 dx = -∫ 𝑀2 dx

EQ4: ∬ 𝑀1 dx dx =∬ 𝑀2 dx dx
Integration M1 and M2 are forming this equation:

By substituting for x=0.375 and solve all four equations:

MA = 387.084206 N.m
MB = 359.702044 N.m
RA = 2922.4235 N.m
RB = 2056.1515 N.m

3.2. Force Analysis for the Drum Shaft

We used the reactions that we calculated at A and B, then we added the weight of
the drum which is roughly 98kg, and distributed these loads at A and B where each
distribution is 30mm long (the thickness of the flange at these points), now we have two
different load distributions 𝑊𝐴 and 𝑊𝐵 . As we have also four unknown reactions (at the
bearings) as we consider each bearing to have only one degree of freedom. As we have to
solve this undetermined system, we will use the integration method, but now we divide the
shaft into seven sections.

WA= 113437.1175 WB= 84561.3833 N/m

C A B D

55mm 750mm 55mm

We have:

 4 boundary conditions
 2 equilibrium equations
 12 continuity equations (two at each point except the two ends)
Now, we defined the moment equation of each section of these seven sections so we can
proceed in solving the system:
m1 = 𝑀0𝐶 − 𝑅𝐶 𝑥, from x=0 to x=0.04

m2 = 𝑀0𝐶 − 𝑅𝐶 𝑥 + 56718.55875(𝑥 − 0.04)2 , from x=0.04 to x=0.055

m3 = 𝑀0𝐶 − 𝑅𝐶 𝑥 + 56718.55875(𝑥 − 0.04)2 − 387.08420625, from x=0.055 to x=0.07

m5 = 𝑀0𝐶 − 𝑅𝐶 𝑥 + 3403.113525𝑥 + 42280.69125(𝑥 − 0.79)2 − 574.255450125, from

x=0.79 to x=0.805

m6 = 𝑀0𝐶 − 𝑅𝐶 𝑥 + 3403.113525𝑥 + 42280.69125(𝑥 − 0.79)2 − 214.553406375, from

m7 = 𝑀0𝐶 − 𝑅𝐶 𝑥 + 5939.955𝑥 − 2256.71079375, from x=0.82 to x=0.86

After forming all these equations and developing a software to solve this 16-equaion
system, we reached these final equations to be solved:

Wire Rope Drum Design

5. Wire Rope Drum Design

5.1. Wire Rope Drum Calculations

To design the drum we should reduce the unknowns so we can reach a solvable
system, we did that systematically by assuming some of the dimensions that are not crucial
to the design and solving for the ones that affect the design and the mechanism. Also, some
of the ratios are assumed based on the common practices in the industry and other designs
that are available in the market (see References)

An important aspect of the design is the commitment to only one layer of the wire
rope on the drum, this is to prevent the wire rope from overlapping and to avoid any
damage that can happen to the steel wire rope because of slippage. This is a common
practice in the industry and it is a good practice to follow.
Assumptions:

1. As we use one pulley, the length of the wire is 40m + 40m + 2m, the 2 meters are
added for the sake of the flexibility and reliability of the mechanism.
2. The pitch of the groove is 1.06 ∗ 𝑑 where d is the diameter of the wire rope.
3. The thickness of the drum body is given as 0.02 × D + (6 to 10 mm), a value of 16mm
is chosen
4. The design of the flanges of the drum is done based on the common practices in the
industry (a more complicated design is not necessary in this case)
As we have calculated the wire rope diameter to be 8 mm, now we can calculate the drum
diameter as follows:
We have these relations:

5.2. Pulley and Hook (Snatch block) Selection

We chose a wire rope pulley with a single sheave to be used in the mechanism, for
many reasons, the most important of which is to achieve a mechanical advantage also this
gives another advantage of distributing the load lifted by dividing it into two parts. we could
have used multiple pulleys but as it achieves more mechanical advantage, it also increases
the length of the wire and thus the complexity of the whole system.

For this application, the design of the wire rope pulley is not necessary, as many available
options in the market can be used for this application. Thus, the pulley is selected based on
the following criteria:
1. The weight capacity of the pulley should be more than 1000 kg but less than 2000 kg
2. The pulley wire groove should be compatible with the wire rope diameter
After searching the market, and comparing the available options, we found a manufacturer
that provides a pulley with the following specifications:

6.1. Bearing Design

Using SKF standard table bearing matching the shaft diameter and the inner race of the
bearing

A deep groove ball bearing is a suitable choice for an electric hoist shaft carrying a 1-ton
load due to several key factors:
Load Capacity: Deep groove ball bearings are designed to handle
both radial and axial loads. In the case of an electric hoist, where the load is
typically vertical, the bearing can efficiently support the weight of the load.
Smooth Operation: These bearings have a low torque and provide smooth rotation,
which is crucial for lifting heavy loads. The reduced friction ensures that the hoist
operates efficiently and minimizes wear and tear.
Deep Groove Design: The deep groove structure allows the bearing to accommodate
both radial and axial forces effectively. It provides stability and prevents
misalignment during operation.
Durability: Deep groove ball bearings are known for their long service life. They can
withstand continuous use and heavy loads without premature failure.
Vibration Reduction: The design of deep grooves provides better load distribution,
reducing vibration and ensuring stable performance during lifting operations.
Vertical Lift: These bearings offer true vertical lift, which is essential for hoists. They
maintain alignment and prevent lateral movement, ensuring safe and reliable
lifting.

6.2. Bearings Fitting Method Calculations

We decided to use press fit [3] because of the following reasons:
Ease: Press fits are generally easier to disassemble because they don’t involve heating or
cooling processes.
Process: You can use bearing removal tools or other methods to extract the components.

6.2.1. Preparation
Before mounting, avoid removing bearings from their packaging to prevent
contamination and rust. If the bearings are pre-lubricated or used for normal operation,
retain the anti-corrosion oil. However, for applications involving measuring instruments or
high rotation speed, clean the oil off with a detergent. After oil removal, avoid leaving the
bearings exposed for an extended period to prevent rust.

6.3. Drum Fixation

To fix the drum with the drum shaft, we thought of many options

 Snap rings
 Shrink fitting
 Welding
And several other options. After thinking practically in each option and evaluate it based
these criteria:

 Maintenance considerations
 Failure considerations
 Transmitted torque moment
 Complexity
 Cost
 Availability
We ended up choosing from locking devices as they provide easy maintenance, able to be
replaced, and overall suitable for the application.
There were many types of locking devices, but we decided to design and select a simple
locking device, as we fully determined all the loads that can occur and also the environment
of the mechanism is relatively stable.

We chose a keyless self-centering internal locking device. After searching for existing
manufacturers, we found a good and reliable series of locking devices called SIT-LOCK® 12
internal locking device - self-centering (manufactured by a company called Sit Lock) [1] [2]

6.3.1. Specifications
 Self-centering
 Quick installation and removal
 Available for shaft diameters of 18 to 90 mm
 Reduced axial dimensions
 Axial displacement when tightening screws
 Excellent shaft-hub concentricity and perpendicularity
 Medium to high transmissible torques

6.3.2. Installation
The locking device is supplied ready to assemble. Clean the shaft contact surfaces thoroughly
and apply oil. Mount the shaft, hub and locking device in the desired position.

6.3.3. Screw tightening sequence:

Tighten two opposite screws until the locking device contacts the shaft and hub, then
tighten all screws to 50% of the specified torque in a criss-cross pattern. Repeat to
reach 100% of the specified torque and ensure it's achieved continuously.

31
Shaft Elements Design

6.3.4. Removal
Loosen the clamping screws gradually, remove them, and insert into special removal
threads on the inner ring flange. Tighten the screws in a criss-cross pattern to release
the locking device.

6.3.5. Reusing the locking device

When the locking device is being reuse, make sure that all the surfaces are clean and show
no obvious signs of deformation or seizing. Clean and oil all surfaces and threads. Check the
screws have not been deformed. Oil the screws and assemble the locking device as originally
supplied.

7.2.3. Flange
We will manufacture flange with casting method
Process of Manufacturing Flanges with Casting

1. Pattern Making: First, a template in the shape of the intended flange design is
created. Usually, this is done with wood.
2. Mold Preparation: The pattern is used to build a mold. The final flange's dimensions
and shape will be determined by this mold. Sand will be used to make the mold.
3. Metal Melting: steel a furnace is used to melt metal to the appropriate temperature.
4. Pouring: The prepared mold cavity is filled with molten metal. To prevent flaws in
the finished product and allow room for a bolt and nut, care must be taken to ensure
that the mold is properly filled.
5. Solidification and Cooling: The molten metal inside the mold begins to solidify and
cool after pouring, assuming the shape of the mold cavity. The complexity and size of
the flange will determine how long this operation takes.
6. Extracting the Casting: After the metal has set completely, the casting is taken out of
the mold.
7. Cleaning and Finishing: The casting is cleaned to get rid of any surface flaws and
leftover mold material. To obtain the flange's final size and surface polish, machining
procedures may be used.
8. Examination: To make sure the completed flanges fulfil quality requirements and
standards; a comprehensive examination is conducted. Dimensional checks, visual
examination, and non-destructive testing techniques might be examples of this.
After the casing process, the threads will be made in the flange with drilling methods.

7.4. Future Work

We have done tons of searching in this project, but as are restricted with deadlines
for the handover some of our ideas are weren’t applicable for this scale. In this section we
introduce some of the ideas we came up with to enhance the design and make it more
efficient in terms of cost and maintenance and also more applicable in terms of usage and
manufacturing.

Further Design Analysis

7.4.1. Advanced Load Analysis for the Wire Rope on the Drum
As the precise analysis of the load transmitted to the wire rope drum from the load
acting on the wire rope is very complex (actually some research papers are covering only
such analyses) we thought of preforming FEA analysis to study the load distribution more
accurate and in several cases and also with different loads.
This can be beneficial for the design of the drum, the shaft, and also the number of
pulleys to reach the maximum mechanical advantage per cost possible.

7.4.2. Optimizing the Shaft

There are several ways to optimize the shaft, like using hollow shafts or diving the
shaft and optimize its cross section. This would lead to less cost pre system and also
manufacturing improvements.

7.4.3. Body Design

The body that will hold this system and fixing it to some reference level should be
designed carefully for easy manufacturing and low costs. We thought of this design process
depending on the models we found in the market and came up with these ideas:

 The body can have an actuator to move it horizontally which is important for many
use-cases
 The body will be fixed with two supports to hold its weight and the weight lifted by
the system.

7.4.4. More Safety Features

We thought of adding multiple safety features, we have already added a failure fuse
(the key and bolts), however, more safety will always be better. Breaking systems and load
measuring are one of the ideas we thought of.
