Abstract:
A slider crank mechanism is an inversion of four bar mechanism more or less known as a reciprocating engine. A horizontal bailer is used in waste squeezing such as, paper, soft plastics, tins, cans and fabrics, compressed as bales. This paper presents a review on stress analysis on the crank slider mechanism of a horizontal baler machine. Analysis of the stresses includes maximum principal stress of the baler and frame which were 2.0658e8N/M2 and 9795.5N/M2 with minimum stress of -2.1622e7N/M2 and -2.2607N/M2 respectively. The working principles, applicability and crank efforts are presented in this paper. Also, ansys software was used for the modeling and simulation of the components of the baler machine. It was recommended that analysis using the finite element method will give a clear understanding of the stress concentrators magnitude and location, especially when the horizontal hand baler machine is in it useful life.
