Structural Design of Wire Rope Hoist and Finite Element Analysis of Drum

Abstract

The motor, drum, drum shaft, rope arrangement mechanism and drive mechanism of the hoist were designed in this paper. The 3d models of the hoist mechanisms were carried out according to the calculation results. And the 3d models of the drum was imported into Hyperworks for the static finite element analysis, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical design and the feasibility of the structure.
