Computer aided design of chain elavator
Abstract
In this study, a computer program has been developed for the computer-aided design of single-strand chain elevators, which carry powder, bulk, and piece materials and have a wide range of applications. In industry or other usage areas, the most common single-strand chain, gravity tensioned, pre-bedded, bucket elevator is dimensioned using accepted coefficients, tables, catalogs, and formulas. The drive system includes an electric motor, gearbox, bearing, shaft, sprocket, sprocket hub, chain, bucket, and drive upper and lower body enclosure. Brands such as Nord, Yılmaz, Remas, and Flender are used as gearboxes, while brands such as SKF and FAG are used for bearings. In our calculations, a computer program has been developed based on the technical specifications of Remas for the gearbox and SKF for the bearings. Through the use of computer-aided design for the chain elevator, time loss and the burden of the design process were significantly reduced. This study has led to the identification of optimal design values, which in turn has lowered design costs. Operating costs were also minimized by avoiding design errors.
