3.3.2 Shaft Design
In this section, applying basic calculation and MITCALC program in order to find the proper
diameter of the shaft, a simulation of the shaft was perform.

Fa: Reaction force A
Fb: Reaction force
Wa: Weight of the car at a (75 9.81 / 2)
Wb: Weight of the car at b (75 9.81 / 2)
T: chain force ( 322.4 N)
∑ = 0 (15)
( 150) + ( 750) − ( 790) − ( 900) = 0
