Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Design and Development of Hoist operated by Permanent Magnet Direct Drive for Electric Overhead Travelling Crane   Order a copy of this article
    by Parita Trivedi, Utpal Shah 
    Abstract: Electric overhead travelling (EOT) crane is mostly used in the industries to lift the load. The hoist used in EOT crane is consists of motor, shaft, gearbox, coupling and rotating drum. Gearbox is used to lower the speed and increase the torque. In place of this conventionally used mechanical hoist, here a novel concept is proposed to operate the hoist by using permanent magnet direct drive (PMDD). The PMDD hoist is designed, analysed and developed to lift the load of 100 kg as a prototype. By implementing permanent magnet direct drive (PMDD) to be operated with variable frequency drive (VFD) in hoist we can get the high torque and low speed required to lift the heavy load. The gearbox is more prone to failure as only one tooth at a time is responsible for torque transmission whereas in PMDD the whole stator and rotor are responsible for getting the required torque. Currently, the hoist is design to lift 100 kg load as a prototype for testing and performance analysis which can be further used for higher capacity of loading also.
