Abstract :One of the most important problems is the stripping of the rope, which is a part of the drum-rope mechanisms required in the weight lifting operations used in today\'s crane systems, from the drum rope clamps under load. In this study, the focus is on investigating the design and process parameters of the drum rope clamps used on the drum to carry the desired load under a certain pulling force in drum-rope mechanisms in overhead cranes, simplifying and improving the production. In order to fulfil this objective, firstly, a prototype table-top experimental system that constructs a drum-rope connection has been established. In the experimental study, flat and radius clamps were used as design parameters and the tightening forces of the bolts connecting the clamps to the drum were considered as process parameters. The tensile force to be applied throughout the study was obtained by making various mathematical calculations. As a result, it was concluded that design and process parameters have significant effects on crane drum-rope systems and comparisons were made on drum rope clamp designs. In addition, it is seen from the experimental results that design parameters are more effective than process parameters to increase production cost and efficiency.
