DESIGN PROCEDURE OF ROPE DRIVE

STEP-1: Calculation of design load


Assume large factor of safety (say 15), If not given.
Calculate the DESIGN LOAD:
Design load =factor of safety x load to be lifted.
STEP-2: Selection of wire rope diameter
Take the design load as the breaking strength.
Obtain the rope diameter by referring data book. (PSG. 9.4 to 9.6).
STEP-3: Calculation of drum diameter
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
By referring PSG.9.1, Take the ratio of drum diameter to the rope diameter.
Obtain the drum diameter D.
Drum diameter should be sufficiently larger to reduce the bending stress.
STEP-4: Selection of the area of useful cross-section of the rope (A)
Determine the area of useful cross section of the rope using the following table.
TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION METALLIC AREA OF ROPE (A) IN mm2
6*7 0.38d2
6*19 0.40d2
6*37 0.40d2
STEP-5: Calculation of wire diameter (dw)
Determine the diameter of the wire, using the formula dw = d/1.5√i
Where,
i=number of wires in the rope = no. of strands x no. of wires in each strand.

STEP-6: Selection of weight of rope (Wr)


Weight of the rope is obtained by referring data book (PSG 9.4 to 9.6).
STEP-7: Calculation of various loads and effective loads:
Calculate the various loads using the relations given below:
1. Direct load, Wd=W+Wr.
2. Bending load, Wb=b*A
3. Acceleration load, Wa=((W+Wr)*a/g)
4. Starting load, Ws=2(W+Wr)
Effective load on the rope during normal working
1. Effective load on normal working, Wne=Wd+Wb.
2. Effective load on starting, Wse=Ws+Wb.
3. Effective load on acceleration, Wae=Wa+Wd+Wb.
STEP-8: Calculation of working factor of safety and check for design
Calculate the working factor of safety,

(Fs)w= Braking load for the selected rope (PSG 9.4-9.6) / Effective load during acceleration.

This (Fs)w should not be less than the recommended factor of safety given in PSG(9.1).
If the working factor of safety (Fs)w is not satisfactory, choose some other rope with greater
braking strength (or) no. Of ropes should be increased.

STEP-9: Calculation of number of ropes

No. Of ropes = Recommended factor of safety / Working factor of safety.

Select a suitable wire rope to lift 11kN of debris from a well 60m deep. The
weight is being lifted with a maximum speed of 150m/min and the maximaum
speed is obtained in 1min. Determine also stressed induced in wire rope due to
starting with an initial slack of 0.25m.Take Er =0.75*105N/mm2.The weight of
the bucket is 4kN.
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
Step1:

WL = 11kN ( weight of load)

WB = 4kN (weight of bucket)

Max. speed = 150m/min

Initial slack distance = 0.25m

W = WL+WB

= 11+4 = 15kN

Er = 0.75*105 N/mm2

Assume larger FOS = 15

Design load = FOS * load to be lifted

= 15*15

=225 kN

=225000N

Step2: [Refer PSG, pg no:9.6]

Since the rope is for hoisting purpose,let us select 6 ×19

(i.e. for lifts and hoist)

No. of strands=6

No. of wires in strands=19

For 𝜎 u=1100-1250 N/mm2 as breaking strength [1 ton= 10kN]

Breaking strength = 23tonne

= 230kN

Corresponding diameter of rope is, d= 25mm.

Step3:

Determine sleeve diameter(drum) [Refer PSG, PG no:9.1]

Take class 4,

STEP: 1: Selection of Materials PSG 1.40


STEP: 2: Calculation of no of teeth on bevel gears
Z1 and Z2 ….. initially assume Z1 ≥ 17

Step: 3 : Calculation of pitch angle [ (ie) δ1 and δ2 ] and the virtual number of teeth (ie) Zp1
and Zp2 using the following relations ,
Pitch angle => tan δ 2 = i
and δ1 = 90°- δ2
For the right angled bevel gears,
Zv1 = Z1 and Zv2 = Z 2
Cos δ1 Cos δ2
Step: 4: Calculate the tangential load using the relation
Ft = P x Ko

Step: 5: Calculate the preliminary value of dynamic load using the relation
Fd = F t
Cv where Cv = 5.6
5.6 + √V where V = 5 m/s
Step : 6: Calculate the beam strength Fs in terms of transverse module using the following
relation

Fs = ∏ x mt x b x [Ϭb ] x ý x [ R – b ]
R
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
Step : 7: Calculate the transverse module mt by equating the Fs and Fd
Step : 8: Calculate the values of b , d and v
Using the following relations
Face width b = 10 x mt
Pitch circle diameter d = Z x mt
Pitch line velocity V = ∏ d N
60
Step : 9: Recalculate the beam strength

Fs = ∏ x mt x b x [Ϭb ] x ý x [ R – b ]
R
Step : 10: Calculate the dynamic load , using Buckingham’s equation ,
Fd = Ft + 21 V ( bc + Ft )
21 V +√( bc +Ft)
Step :11: Check for the beam strength or tooth breakage , if Fd ≤ Fs , the gear tooth has
adequate beam strength.
Step: 12: Calculate the maximum wear load , using the following relation
Fw = 0.75 x d1 x b x Q x Kw
Cos δ1
Step : 13: Check for wear strength if Fd < Fw , the gear tooth has adequate wear capacity ,
and will not wear out, thus the design is safe and satisfier.

Step :14: Calculate the basic dimensions for the gear and pinion.

Problem:
A pair of 20° full depth involute teeth bevel gear connects two shafts at right angles
having a velocity ratio of 3.2: 1. The gear is made of cast steel with an allowable static stress
as72 N/mm², and the pinion is made of steel having a static of 100 N/mm². The pinion
transmits 40kW and at 840 rpm. Find the module, face width, and pitch diameter from the
stand point of the beam strength, and check the design from the stand point of wear.

Given data:
Θ = 90° , ά = 20° , i = 3.2 , [σb2 ] = 72 N/mm², [σb1] = 100 N/mm², P = 40 kW ,
N1= 840 rpm
To find:
Module, face width, and pitch diameter of the gears.

Solution:

Step: 1: Selection of materials


Material for gear : Cast Iron
Material for pinion: Steel

Step: 2: Assume Z1 = 20 , then Z2 = i x Z1


Z2 = 3.2 x 20 = 64
Z2 = 64

WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM V+ TEAM
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
Step : 3: Calculation of pitch angle [ (ie) δ1 and δ2 ] and the virtual number of teeth (ie) Zp 1
and Zp2 using the following relations ,
tan δ 2 = i = 3.2 or δ2= tan -1 (3.2) = 72.64°
then δ1 = 90° - δ2
δ1= 90° - 72.64° = 17.36°
The virtual number of the teeth on the gears is given by
Zv1 = Z1 = 20
Cos δ1 cos 17.36°
Zv1 = 21
Zv2 = Z2 = 64
Cos δ2 cos 72.64°
Zv2 = 215
Then form factors based on virtual number of teeth are given by
Ý1 = 0.154 - 0.912
Zv1
Ý1 = 0.1106
Ý2 = 0.154 - 0.912
Zv2
Ý2 = 0.1497
For pinion: [σb1] x ý1 = 100 x .0116 = 11.06 N/mm²
For gear: [σb2] x ý2 = 72 x 1497 = 10.78 N/mm²
Hence the value of gear is less than pinion. Thus we have to design for gear only.

Step : 4: Calculating the tangential load using the relation We know that ,
Ft = P x Ko
v

where v = ∏ d1 N1 = ∏ x N1 x ( mt x Z1)
60 60 1000

Ko = 1.25 , assuming medium shock

Ft = 40 x 10ᶾ x 1.25 = 56841


0.879 mt mt

Step :5:
Fd = Ft
Cv where Cv = 5.6
5.6 + √V where V = 5 m/s

Cv = 0.715
Fd = 56841 x 1
mt 0.715
Fd = 79497.9

Step: 6: Calculating the preliminary value of dynamic load using the relation

Fs = ∏ x mt x b x [Ϭb ] x ý x [ R – b ]
R
Where b = 10 mt ; Ý2 = 0.1497
[σb2] = 72 N/mm² ; R= 0.5 mt x √ ( Z1² + Z2² ) = 33.53 mt
Fs = ∏ x mt x 10 mt x 72x 0.1497x [33.53 mt - 10 mt]
33.53 mt
Fs = 237.62 mt²
Step :7:
Calculation of transverse module mt
We know that Fs ≥ Fd

237.62 mt² ≥ 79497.9


mt
mt ≥ 6.94 mm
Step : 8:
Calculate the values of b , d1 and v
Face width b = 10 mt = 10 x 7 = 70 mm
Pitch circle diameter d1 = mt x Z1 = 7 x 20 = 140 mm
Pitch line velocity V2 = V1 = ∏ d N = 6.61m/s
60
Step : 9:
Recalculation of the beam strength

Fs = 237.62 x mt² = 11643.38 N

Step: 10:
Calculation of the dynamic load , using Buckingham’s equation ,
Fd = Ft + 21 V ( bc + Ft )
21 V +√( bc +Ft)

Ft = P = 40 x 10ᶾ = 6493.55 N
v 6.16
c = 11860 x 0.017 = 201.62 N/mm

Fd = 6493.5 + 21 x 6.16 x 10ᶾ x ( 70 x 201.62 + 6493.5)


21 x 6.16 x 10ᶾ +√( 70 x 201.62 + 6493.5)

Fd = 27077.55 N

Step :11:
Check for the beam strength or tooth breakage, but Fd >> Fs
Taking module as 14
Face width b = 10 mt = 10 x 14 = 140 mm
Pitch circle diameter d1 = mt x Z1 = 14 x 20 = 280 mm
Pitch line velocity V2 = V1 = ∏ d N = 12.315m/s
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
60
Fs = 237.62 x mt² = 237.62 x 14² = 46573.52 N
Ft = P = 40 x 10ᶾ = 3248 N
v 12.315
c = 11860 x .025 = 296.62 N/mm

Fd = 3248 + 21 x 12.315 x 10ᶾ x ( 140 x 296.5 + 3248)


21 x 12.315 x 10ᶾ +√(140 x 296.5 + 3248)
Fd = 47969.4 N
We find Fs > Fd , now the design is safe and satisfactory against the tooth failure.

Step: 12:
Calculation of wear load (Fw)

Fs = 0.75 x d1 x b x Q x Kw
Cos δ1
Q = Ratio Factor = 2 x Zv2 = 2 x 215 = 1.822, and
Zv1 ± Zv2 21 + 215
Kw = 0.919 N/mm² , for steel gears hardened to 250 BHN ,

Fs = 0.75 x 280 x 140 x 1,822 x 0.919 = 51578.25 N


Cos 17.36°
Step : 13:
Checking for wear , we found that Fw > Fd , it means the gear tooth has adequate
wear capacity and will not wear out. Thus the design is safe against wear failure also.
Step : 14
Module mt = 14 mm
Face width b = 10 x mt = 140 mm
Pitch diameter d1 = mt x Z1 = 14 x 20 = 280 mm
d 2 = mt x Z2 = 14 x 64 = 896 mm

PROBLEM ON WORM GEARS

A steel worm running at 240 rp , receives 1.5 kw from its shaft. The speed reduction is 10:1,
design the drive so as to have an efficiency of 80 %, also determine the cooling area
required, if the temperature rise is restricted to 45° C, and take overall heat transfer co
efficient as 10 W / m² ° C.

Given data:
N1= 240 rpm, P= 1.5 kW, I= 10, η desired = 80%, to – ta = 45°C, Kt = 10 W/ m² °C.

To find:
1. Design the worm gear drive
2. The cooling area required
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
Solution:

STEP-1: Selection of Material


Worm – Steel
Wheel – Bronze ( sand cast), selected from Table PSG. 8.5

STEP-2: Calculation of Initial Design Torque

[Mt]=Mt x K x Kd.
Initially, Assume K x Kd = 1.
Mt=60 x p / 2ΠN.
Mt= ( 60 x 1.5 x 10³ / 2πN2) = 596.83 N-m

K.Kd = 1

[Mt]= 596.83 N-m

STEP-3: Selection of Z1&Z2.


Select Z1, η desired = 80%,, Z1 = 3 PSG. 8.46
Z2 = i x Z1.= 10 x 3 = 30

STEP-4: Selection of [σb] & [σc] PSG.8.45


For bronze wheel бu < 390 N / mm², [бb]= 50 N/ mm² is selected in one rotation in one
direction

[бc]= 159 N / mm² is selected

STEP-5: Calculation of Centre Distance PSG.8.44

a = [(z/q)|+1] x З√[540/(Z/q) x [σc]]2 x [Mt] / 10

a = [(30/11)|+1] x З√[540/(30/11) x [σc]]2 x [596.83x 10³] / 10

a = 168.6 mm

STEP-6: Calculation of Axial Module PSG.8.43


m= 2a / (q+z)
m= 2168.6/ (11+30) = 8.22 mm

STEP-7: Calculation of Revised Centre Distance PSG.8.43


a=0.5m (q+Z2)

a=0.5x 10 (11+30) = 205 mm

STEP-8: Calculation of d, v, γ, Vs.


d=qx m
d 1= q x m= 11 x 10 = 110 mm
WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
d 2= Z2 x m= 30 x 10 = 300 mm

v₁ = πdn ₁/ 60= 1.382 m / s


v₂= πdn ₂/60= 0.377 m / s

γ = tan-1 {Z/q} = 15.25 °


Vs = v/cos γ = 1.432 m/s

STEP-9: Recalculation of Design Contact Stress Using Vs.


For vs = 1.432 m /s , [бc] = 172 N/ mm² PSG.8.45

STEP-10: Revise K, d, Mt Values.

[Mt]=Mt x K x Kd.
= 596.83 x 1 x1 = 596.83 N-m

STEP-11: CHECK FOR BENDING STRESS PSG.8.44

[σb] = 1.9[Mt] / mЗ x q x z x y

[σb] = 1.9 x 596.863 x 10³ / 10³ x 11 x 30 x 0.432

= 7.6 N / mm²

STEP-12: Check for Wear σc

Бc = 540 / (Z2/q) √(( Z2/ q) +1) / a )³ x ( Mt / 10)

= 118.59 N / mm²

STEP-13: Check for Efficiency


η=0.95 x tan γ/tan (γ+ρ)
ρ=TAN-1(μ) = 2.862 °
η=0.95 x tan γ/tan (γ+ρ) = 80%

STEP-14: Calculation of Cooling Area Required


(1-η) x INPUT POWER = Kt x A (to-ta)

` (1 – 0.8) x 1.5 x 10³ = 10 x A x 45°


= 0.666 m²

but W = 2π C (𝑟1 − 𝑟2) = 2π 𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥 x 𝑟2 (𝑟1 − 𝑟2 )

𝑟2 = 0.108 m or 108 mm
