Through my Mechanics-Based Design Laboratory class, on a team with two other students (team members: Peter Donley and Victoria Popoola), I constructed a crane capable of vertically lifting a ten-pound weight one inch within two minutes. I designed a power transmission system to lift the weight using a 12 ounce-inch stall torque micro gearmotor input, and performed a gear tooth bending stress analysis on the system to include in our final report alongside the transmission system calculations. We were provided with a gearmotor assembly, a sheet of acrylic, nylon-coated stainless steel wire, clear nylon line, and screws, nuts, and other small parts, and were permitted to purchase $25 of additional materials. We fabricated our crane boom and transmission system in accordance with project constrains including mounting plate dimensions, crane style restrictions, and material and deflection limits. Our final design report included a crane description, CAD drawings, design calculations, and a cost analysis.
