Design and analysis of lifting fixtures for centre housing unit

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to design the lifting fixture for the centre housing component using Catia to avoid the usage of a belt for lifting purpose and also to analyse the minimum and maximum stress of the designed fixture for the given load using Ansys software. Fixture design is a vital role in handling the production side and it minimizes lifting problems during loading and unloading time. Belt usage has eliminated accidents and is easily operated by the operators. Thus the concluded result of two materials, is low alloy steel (SAE-AISI 4130) which has good tolerable nature in comparison the cast iron (ASTM GRADE 25) for all the tests by Catia V5–V6 and Ansys R18.0.
