Stress analysis: Pin

The pin used for the new design is the same of the one used in the current model. For this reason the analysis have been done just for the cases considered most critical.

 

The mesh setting is:

  • Element dimension: 0.05, in relation to the average component dimension

In conclusion the pin is able to sustain the load applied in all the configurations. There is a high concentration of stress in the area of attachment between the hook horizontal body and the vertical face, always remaing inside the range of stresses allowed.
