My first Design Project:

Cantilever Crane: Designed by: Joe Donnelly

At school we were each given a project. We had to design a cantilever crane system that would hold a specific amount of weight and have a specific reach. We each had different specifications, mine had to be able to carry a weight of 800 lbs (not including crane) and have a workable reach of 20 feet.

Some of the components I had to design were the tension bar, tension bar brackets, top tension bar pin and the 4 bolts that hold the top tension bar bracket to the column.

I also had to spec out the beam need to carry the weight with zero deflection.

This was one of the most interesting projects I have worked on. I thoroughly enjoyed it along with learning a great deal as to how much work and thought goes into a design.

The four PDF files below contain some of the math data for the three joints. Bolt diameter as well as material for all bolts, thread size as well as the main pin.I included the math data for the beam as well.

Blueprints and solids were done in SolidEdge V11

These are just a few of the drawings, every component was done in 3D and then brought into 2D where it was detailed.

Crane system rendered in 3D Max

The pictures below are of the crane system above only I brought them into 3D Max, added materials to them along with lighting, cameras and then rendered them to give the components a more realistic look.

All components were brought into Inventor from Solid Edge before being inported into 3d Max (Total number of components = 130)

I also automated the crane in 3D max but the file size came to 130 megs making it difficult to upload to my server. However I have not given up yet I will find a way.

Shaft designed using Solid Edge V 12

Out of all the projects this one was my favorite.

I can't explain why, I just love doing it. It was one of those projects that I found easy to do. I caught on to the procedure quickly and that, believe me, is a great feeling.

My job was to design a shaft that had two ball bearings at each end, along with 2 v belts, one spur gear, one chain sprocket and retaining rings. Therefore, I had stress concentration to factor in.

The math was done with the help of math cad 2000. I personally think it's the best math tool around.

I was amazed at how much work was involved just to design a shaft that, by appearance, looked quite simple but in fact had many things that had to be taken into consideration in order to design a shaft that would last its required design life.

The template used in these drawings were the standard Solid Edge student verson, therefore , some sections could not be edit out-not the best templates but you have to work with what you have.
