Is the section A-A the only section besides the lifting hole that needs to be analyzed for lifting of the cans? Does bending at section B-B even come into play?
Also, if cheek plates are added as per the attached drawing, does this only effect the area (A) used in Equation (4.9)?
Regards.
There is access to both sides, but the use of the hook would allow us to butt the rolls up against one another on the jigs for welding. These cans are typically used to fabricate piles, vessels, etc.
I do not believe there is any issue with operating temperature and all welds and materials...
Okay, great, thank Pkruse.
I was already usig a tip load assumption when calculating bending moment but will have to integrate the safet factor of 5. Currently in the field they are using chains with sorting hooks, similar to what you suggested, but the issue in that lies with overhead...
Studiot, thank you for your response and yes I am located in the US. By no means are we trying to bypass any safety regulations, which is why thoroughness in the analysis of this hook is vital.
I agree with the proof testing and intend to do so, but typically we would like something to work...
Thanks for the response Pkruse, but why would it be illegal for us to design an in-house lifting device? This is basically a fabrication aid, similar to a company designing and fabricating their own spreader bars.
My inquiries are in regards to analysis of this type of hook. I have not...
Hello All,
I am brand new to this forum and have found information on here quite helpful in the past before I decided to join the forum, so hopefully some of you can help me with my current project.
Currently I am trying to design and fabricate a lifting hook for rolled steel cans. The...
