INCREASE IN THE WEIGHT EFFICIENCY OF A DRIVE WITH A VARIABLE MOMENT OF INERTIA PULLEY

Abstract

When designing a cable car drive with a variable moment of inertia, the greatest attention was paid to the pulley of the variable moment of inertia. Therefore, the sizes of some parts and nodes were accepted "by the eye" in compliance with the condition of strength. This has led to an overestimation of the strength of the strength and, as a consequence, to an increase in the mass of the whole drive. Reducing the dimensions of the parts will reduce the weight and reduce their cost. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the geometric parameters of the drive from the pulley of the variable moment of inertia, in which its weight and material consumption may be reduced. The optimization of geometric dimensions will be made using the Solidworks automated modeling and design system using SW Simulation.
