Abstract:
The mechanical lift is a device for transferring disabled patient from one position to another. Due to the cost and size factor, the usage in Malaysian hospital was not preferable. Hence, the needs for a new design concept are highly required. By focusing on a fully mechanical powered concept, the preliminary design was made using the engineering design process and evaluation tools such as the Pugh chart. Next, an FEA (finite element analysis) was performed on the lever part through the aid of CATIA V5R20. As a result, we managed to achieve the safety factor of 1.04 during static loading analysis, using mild steel as base. In near future, further investigation and design improvement shall be made to improve the preliminary design.
