Abstract
In most lifting mechanisms and hoists, steel ropes are driven directly from rope drums, the most common of which is single-layer ones that use the rope end fixing method on drums with clamps. Thus, a complete study of the working process of rope clamps on a drum is essential to ensure transmission capability, safety, and reliability. The paper presents the theoretical foundation research, design, and manufacture of an experimental model to investigate rope end clamping forces on a drum. The model is designed, manufactured, and exploited at the Mechanical Experimental Research Department, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering. Based on this model, various types of experiments can be set up to serve research and training in mechanical engineering majors.
