General – Spindel lifting table (german Spindelhubtisch)

The aim of the exercise part is to construct a lifting table and then to check this construction with
some calculations. To do this, you should model some components yourself using PTC Creo
Parametric, download others from various online and standard parts libraries and install them
correctly in an assembly. The individual work steps should be carried out in sequence, following this
information.

  Specifications:

Table size (german - Tischgröße) length x width (mm) -- 950 x 600

Pipe dimensions (german - Rohrabmessungen) width x height x depth (mm) -- 60 x 30 x 3

Load capacity (german - Tragfähigkeit) (kg) -- 200

a (mm) -- 150

c (mm) – 870

Design of the spindle gear

Before you can start modeling the components, you need to determine the appropriate thread size
for the given load. The first step is to determine the axial force with which the spindle nut is loaded:

The spindle lifting table is loaded with the specified load capacity from the specification. The lengths
a and c also correspond to the specification. It can be assumed that the weight (Fg) acts in the middle
of the table (perpendicularly above the scissors joint). Point E is the bearing of the spindle gear, point
D is the bearing of the rollers. In this drawing view, the two points coincide, but different forces are
acting.
Solving this mechanical task, it turns out that it is a trapeze of dimensions: 24x5

Load capacity (kN) Trapezoidal thread according

DIN 103-2 Ø x pitch
10 – 12 Tr 24x5

Modeling of the spindlemutter (german) according to Mädler catalog 42

The dimensions of the spindle nut can be found in the following excerpt from Mädler Catalog 42:

Material: Steel C35

Modeling of the spindle nut seat (german Spindelmuttersitz) :
The seat of the flange nut should be designed according to the following figure:

D1 and D3 correspond to the values from the spindle nut table. The remaining dimensions are to be
chosen independently.

Material: Cast steel GE300

Modeling of the spindle according to Mädler catalog 42

The trapezoidal thread spindle must be designed in such a way that it meets the following
specifications: The length of the spindle should be long enough for the end of the spindle to protrude
approx. 5-10 cm over the edge of the table. Select the distance between the two bearings so that you
can later install the bearing blocks on the table top.

Material: Steel C15

Floating bearing side
The end of the spindle on the floating bearing side should be modeled according to the following
figure and table from Mädler Catalog 42 (bearing type FF-XX).

Note! With my thread size 24x5, the bearing FF-15 should be selected!!!
Fixed bearing side
With the exception of L5, the end of the spindle on the fixed bearing side should also be modeled
according to the Mädler catalog (bearing type FK-XX). L5 should be selected in such a way that the
above specifications are met. In addition, the end of the spindle must be machined in such a way that
a hexagon nut can be attached.

Note! With my thread size 24x5, the bearing FK 15 should be selected!!!

Design of the table

Modeling of the frame

The frame consists of welded steel tubes with a rectangular cross-section (dimensions as specified),
onto which brackets for storing a scissor section and metal sheets are welded in the corners to
support the fixed castors.

The distance between the bore axis and the frame must correspond to the radius of the roller. You
should therefore already think about which roller size you want to install later.

The length of the frame corresponds to the length of the table, the width should be chosen slightly
narrower than the table width.

Precision steel tubes according to DIN 10305-5:

Outer curve radii: T ≤ 2,5mm: 1,5 T; 2,5 < T ≤ 4mm: 1,75 T

Material: Steel S355

Modeling of the scissor parts
Like the frame, the scissor parts consist of square tubes welded together. A detailed representation
of the central swivel joint including the collar bushing (plain bearing) can be found in the appendix on
last page.

The connecting tube in the scissor part 2 should be placed in such a way that the scissor part 1 rests
exactly in the lowest position of the table.
Modeling of the pin in the scissors joint (german Bolzen im Scherenlenk)
A bolt must be constructed for the joint of the two scissor parts, which can be secured against
twisting and slipping out using a screw on scissor part 2.

Material: S235

Modeling of the table top (german Tischplatte)

The table top is a sheet metal part onto which bearing seats, brackets and U-profiles are welded for
stability.
In order to model the bearing seats, you need the following excerpts from the Mädler catalogue:

The fixed bearing unit is installed using method A.

1. Flange bearing units FK, for fixed bearing

2. Flange bearing units FF, for floating/loose bearing

Composition of the assembly (module)
The next step is to create an assembly in which all components are put together. The table should be
assembled in such a way that the rollers are exactly in the middle of the table.

You should have modeled the following components yourself in Creo:

1. Frame (german Rahmen)

2. Table top (german Tischplatte)

3. Scissor part 1 (german Scherenteil 1)

4. Scissor part 2 (german Scherenteil 2)

5. Trapezoidal thread spindle (german Trapezgewindespindel)

6. Spindle nut (german Spindelmutter)

7. Spindle nut seat (german Spindelmuttersitz)

8. Bolts in the scissors joint (german Bolzen im Scherengelenk)

You can take the following components from an online library or from the Creo standard parts
library:

1. Fixed bearing unit (german Festlagereinheit)

2. floating bearing unit (german Loslagereinheit)

3. Fixed castor (german Bockrolle)

4. Swivel castor (german Lenkrolle)

5. Roller (german Laufrolle)

6. Bolts/pins (german Bolzen)

7. Circlips DIN 471 (german Sicherungsringe DIN 471)

8. Screws/bolts (german Schrauben)

9. Plain bearing bushing (german Gleitlagerbuchsen)

10. Threaded pin in the fixed bearing unit (german Gewindestift in der Festlagereinheit)

The missing components can be downloaded from the following websites, for example:

3., 4., 5. - (german Bockrolle, Lenkrolle, Laufrolle): https://traceparts.com/de

9. - (german Gleitlagerbuchsen): https://www.skf.com/de

Standard parts can be found in the Creo Standard Parts Catalog.

Bolts/pins according to DIN 471 must be added to the bolts from the Creo standard parts catalogue:
Drawings (german Zeichnungserstellung)

Assembly drawing THE WHOLE TABLE (german Zusammenstellungszeichnung )

The completed assembly shall be shown in two drawings in an assembly drawing as below. You
should set a section so that you can see the bearing of the spindle and the spindle gear.

Bearings and spindle gears are also to be shown in detailed views.

In addition, the main dimensions, the connecting dimensions and a parts list with the associated item
numbers should be specified.

The following figure should serve as an aid:

Note! A few errors still need to be corrected for a correct, standard-compliant display. A detailed
representation of the central swivel joint including the collar bushing (plain bearing) can be found in
the appendix on last page.
Single part drawings (german Einzelteilzeichnungen)
Individual part drawings are to be made of the following components:

SPINDEL/SHAFT (german Spindel)

All fits can be found in the manufacturer's information from Mädler in Table 4 and Table 5. In order
to be able to guarantee a perfect installation of the bearings, the shape tolerances highlighted in red
in Figure 7 and surface finishes must be observed. The following excerpt from the website of the
rolling bearing manufacturer SKF should serve as an aid:
The numerical values for the basic tolerances according to DIN EN ISO 286-1 are given in Table 9:

Average roughness value:

Spindle nut seat (german Spindelmuttersitz)
The shape and position tolerances highlighted in red in Figure 6: Spindle nut seat must be specified in
the drawing. Select the tolerance class according to the shaft or bore and take the values from Table
9 as above.

Suitable roughness values should be selected for the machined surfaces of the spindle nut seat.

It is also important to choose a suitable fit for the hole in which the flange nut sits (noticeable play).

An excerpt from SKF will serve as an aid for the journal surface that rests in the plain bearing bushes:
