- Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift
Summary
- To determine the overall load capacity of the product we decided to perform a structural analysis on the components that had any chance of being the weakest link of the assembly. Out of the 19 parts, we were able to rule out several parts, such as the clutch components of the locking mechanism (9,10) and the bolts, nuts and washers which have an obvious robust design. The results from the remaining components yielded a minimum factor of safety equal to 5.6 for the pulley mounts. A detailed account of our analysis can be found on the page Ceiling-mounted bicycle lift structural analysis which includes both hand calculations and results from several finite element analyses.
