Abstract

The tail-shaft is one of the components of the apron feeder on the conveyor. Its role is quite significant, as it includes a take-up system to adjust the tension and slackness of the chain on the sprocket against the Lamella. Based on observations in a mining industry, it was found that tail-shaft damage frequently occurs, likely due to the excess load carried by the conveyor. Therefore, researchers were interested in investigating the maximum capacity of the tail-shaft. The research was conducted using the Finite Element Analysis method with Solidworks Research License. The material used for the tail-shaft is DIN 1.0038. Torque variations tested on the tail-shaft were from 42,000 N.m to 58,000 N.m. Based on the simulation results, the maximum torque that the tail-shaft can withstand is 54,000 N.m with a safety factor value greater than 1, whereas when given a torque of 58,000 N.m, the safety factor value is less than 1. The tail-shaft experiences a maximum stress that exceeds the yield strength of DIN 1.0038 material, which can cause damage to the material. The initial damage appears at the end of the shaft due to the use of chamfer. This is known based on the results of simulations that have been conducted.

Abstract

The swing arm is one of the main components of a motorcycle that functions as a connection between the rear wheel and the frame. Under loading conditions, the joint area between the arm and the bridge experiences significant stress, leading to fractures in that region. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of installing gussets to reduce the stress that occurs at the joint area between the arm and the bridge in the swing arm of ELGO electric motorcycles. The research was conducted using the static analysis simulation method with Solidworks 2021-2022 Research License software. The loading conditions were simulated based on the actual usage of the electric motorcycle. The simulation results revealed that without the installation of gussets, the joint area between the arm and the bridge in the swing arm experienced stress exceeding the yield strength of the material. This would inevitably lead to the breakage of the swing arm and potentially cause accidents for motorcycle riders. However, after the gussets were installed, the stress at the joint area between the arm and the bridge remained below the yield strength of the material. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the installation of gussets successfully reduced the stress at the joint area between the arm and the bridge in the swing arm. This research outcome can serve as a reference for the design of swing arms for electric motorcycles.
