Abstract
The high speed automated production systems are employed nowadays to achieve improved quality of manufacturing accuracy with improvised and high production rates. This paper introduces a new design for the chucks which are used for capping the liquid bottles for food and beverage industry. This new chuck is designed for multi-functional purposes which reduce the time for changing the chuck if caps of different diameters are used. The power transmission to the chucks is delivered by using “Hysteresis magnetic type clutches”, for controlling and achieving smooth constant torque. The specialty of these clutches is that it offers smooth disengagement without jerks and bumps that increase its wear life compared to other ordinary clutches. The deformation and stress in the component are studied by performing the computer-aided structural analysis. With the analysis maximum deformation and maximum stress can be found out and the factor of safety can be calculated.
