Clamp Equipment Design and Motion Analysis with ANSYS for Large Cylindrical Segment

In this research, a kind of clamp for large cylindrical segment slinging and transportation was designed. Instead of the traditional theory that based of friction to slinging and transport, a new designing method that slinging cylindrical segment by grasping double hooks was taken in this research. Parallelogram structure was used to keep the clamp synchronous and horizontal movement. The design process is that Using principles of Parallelogram structure, Parallelogram structure is initially established. Parallelogram structure Motion analysis function of the ANSYS software was used to analyze the motion status of this parallelogram structure under the load. Ensure rationality of design.
