Diseño y simulación de un elevador manual hidráulico con capacidad de 400 kg

Abstract

In this titling project, a hydraulic manual stacker lift with a load capacity of 400 kg was designed. In the first instance, the different lifting equipment was raised, as well as the systems that meet characteristics such as low cost, ease of load handling, reduced size, reliability of the system and ease of manufacture and maintenance in the Ecuadorian area. These features arose for the benefit of the operator, seeking to reduce ergonomic risks and making him more productive in his daily activities. Once the equipment and its lifting system were selected, we proceeded to design its components considering the behavior that each of them will have under loads. From the use of a certain safety factor that allowed to guarantee the correct operation of the equipment. The calculations were contrasted with static structural simulation using specific simulation software that allows to speed up the preprocessing due to the type of analysis performed. This allowed the theoretical calculations to be validated by comparing them with the simulation results, once again ensuring the operation of the lifting equipment under loads. Finally, the cost of production of the equipment was analyzed considering the national scope and the feasibility and viability of the project was determined through financial indicators and the time of recovery of the investment for the current productive context of an interested company. This company seeks to reduce the times spent on cargo handling activities and benefit its workers by implementing the designed elevator.
