Department of Mechanical Engineering • BUET

Design & Engineering Calculations

A heavy-duty workshop slewing jib crane designed to facilitate safe material handling and loading of heavy stock onto lathes and milling machines.

Structural Sizing

Calculated bending moments, deflection criteria under maximum tip load, and welded gusset plate reinforcements.

Bearing & Pivot Assembly

Selected thrust and radial bearings to ensure smooth 180° cantilever slewing under full working load.
