Design Factor, N = 7 for small hoist

Use minimum drum diameter, min. Ds = 30 Dr, in.FC

6 x 19 IPS wire ropes, regular lay

Wr = 1.6 Dr (weight of the rope, lbs/ft)

Lr = 5 m (length of rope)

Total Load, W

W = (15 kg or 33.075lbs) (3) = 99.225 lbs

Wr = 1.6 Dr2 (Lr) = 1.6 Dr2 (5 m)(3.28 ft/min) = 26.24 Dr2

F = ma

Where:
From Table AT 28, (Design of Machine Elements by Faires, pp. 605)

Fb = equivalent bending load, lbs

Am = area of metal = 0.4 Dr2, in2

Dw = diameter of wire = 0.067 Dr

Ew = 3x107 psi, modulus of elasticity of wire

Ds = drum or sheave diameter = 30 Dr , in

Fb = (0.4 Dr2) ( 0.067 Dr) (12x106)

Where:

N = 7 (Design Factor)

FITTINGS FOR WIRE ROPE

From Design of Machine Elements by Faires, page 477, state that: There are a
number of fittings that have been develop fore wire ropes. Hook and open socket
connection for wire rope fitting is commonly used. The wires are separated and spread
into a conical shape in the socket after which zinc is poured in. properly done; this
connection should be a strong as the rope.
