USING DISK SPRING SOLVER APPLICATION FOR PROTOTYPING DISK SPRINGS IN PASSENGER LIFT CATCHERS

Abstract

The foregoing study presents the use of Disk Spring Solver DSS application for prototyping configurations of disk spring pile applied in the design of friction lift catchers. The methodology of disk springs selection was presented on the basis of possibilities given by DSS application. On the basis of this application and the conducted analyses disk springs were optimally matched with catchers as main flexible element. The design of catchers was worked out in model environment SolidWORKS 2012 together with MES analysis.
