TOTAL LOAD CALCULATIONS

The hydraulic cylinder is mounted in horizontal position. The total load acting on the cyilnder consists of:
• Mass to be put on lift:2000kg
• mass of top frame:45kg
• Mass of each link:55kg
• Mass of links of cyilnder mounting:8kg
• Mass of cyilnder:10 5kg
• Total mass :2118.5kg
• Total load:2118.5*9.81=20782.485N
LOAD CALCULATION OF LINK
• For the link design it has been considered that, the entire
load is acting on half of the link length
• Length of the entire (L)=720mm
• Lengtg of the link considered as the beam for the calculation
purpose=360mm
• The load pattern on the top paltform is considered to be U.
D. L. Hence the load pattern on the link is uniformly varying
load(U. V. L)due to its inclination with horizontal.
• The calculation is done for the link in shut height position ie
when the angle made by the links with horizontal is 20*
• W=force per unit lenght of the beam can be evaluated as
follows, As the load pattern of U. V. L. is a triangle, we can say,
• w(total force perpendicular to the link)=(1/2)*base*w
• Hyi=20782.485N
• Hyi/4= (20782.485/4)=5195.82N
• 5195.82 cos(20)=4882. 4737N
• 5195. 82 sin(20)=1778.10N
• Now, 4882.4737=(1/2) 360*W
• 4882.4737=180 w
• W=27.12N/mm
