Design and Analysis of Electric Crane with 500Kg Material Handling Capacity

Abstract

In industry material handling is very important. For that purpose efficient machine is needed. In modern days the electric crane plays important role to fulfil that requirement. It is economical, effective, less time consuming, more safety, and flexible for uses. In industry the safety is most important factor for any material handling machine which deals with the heavy load depending on the capacity. In electric crane the safety keeps on first priority. In this paper we design the electric crane which is more economical, less time consumable, with more safety and the easy to operate. It has two control units, one is at crane frame and one is at the remote location. This crane is able to operate by the single operator far from the crane and also can operate directly from the crane frame itself. Its lifting capacity is up to 500kg. according to load we carried out the load calculations for the crane frame or body & we created a 3D CAD model. Every component should able to deal with that load. To ensure that we carried out the analysis of the whole assembly in ANSYS 19.2. In analysis we found that the whole assembly is able to handle the load which we suppose to apply on it. We implement the pulley reduction to reduce the load on motor and gearbox as well. We tried to keep crane more compact in size so that it consume less space in industry.
