Maximum weight of single man=100 kg

=100 x 10 N
=1000 N
Resultant force calculation:
Finding angle of inclination of stairs:
θ=35.53ᴼ Fy

Fx

Fx=Fcosθ=1000 x cos(35.53)=813.81 N
Fy=Fsinθ=1000 x sin(35.53)=581.12 N
Resultant force
Fr =((Fx2)+(Fy2)+2(Fx)(Fy)cosθ)1/2
=((813.812)+(581.122)+2(813.81)(581.12)cos35.53)1/2
= 1330.30 N
Linear velocity calculation
Distance of staircase=5.16 m (by measurement)
Time required for ascending = 7.6 sec
Time required for descending = 6.9 sec
Selecting max. of both;
Velocity=distance/time=5.16/7.6=0.6789 m/s
But design is being done by not only considering handicapped and old population
but also for normal man.
So it must be feasible. So considering higher
velocity i.e. 0.7 m/s
V=0.7 m/s

7.1 Motor selection

power = force x velocity
=1330.3 x 0.7
=931.27 Watt
But while selecting motor, ηchain and ηgearbox needs to be
considered HP= (Fr x V)/(η x 4500)
η= overall efficiency
η=(ηg)p x ηc
 ηg=efficiency of gearbox
ηc=efficiency of chain
p=no. of stages
η=ηchain x (ηg )p
assuming, η=75%
η=89% ……. (Ref. =533 V. B. Bhandari)
single stage worm gearbox
η=0.89 x (0.75)1
η=0.6675
HP=(1330.3 x 42)/(0.6675 x 4500)
=1.414 kW
Std motor=1.5 kW; N=1500rpm
P=(2ΠNT)/60=(2Π x 1500 x T)/60
T=9.549 Nm

7.2 Design of shaft:

Material=45C8
Syt=380 N/mm2
Sut=600 N/mm2
Sys=0.30Syt=114 N/mm2
Sus=0.18Syt=108 N/mm2
Whichever is minimum
Considering keyway effect=0.75Sus=81 N/mm2
Considering F.O.S.=3
Τs=Sus/Nf=81/3=27 N/mm2
Ts=16T/Πd3
27=(16 x 9.549 x 103)/(Π x d3)
d=12.16 ……….. but std. step is 14
d=14 mm

considering Nf=5
d=16 mm
assuming reduction ratio as 35%
G = N1/N2
35 = 1500/N2
N2 = 42.85 rpm
V = rω
0.7 = r x (2ΠN2)/60
0.7 = r x (2Π x 42.85)/60
r=0.155 m
d=0.3 m

7.3 Design of bearing:

Fa=1330.3 N
Fr x r =Tr
Fr= 1364.14 N
Fa/Fr=1330.3/1364.14=0.975
Considering Pg. No. 575; (V. B. Bhandari)
From chart
For d=14; D=28; B=8
