| dc.description.abstract | This project focuses on the design and development of a double-acting power hacksaw
machine intended to improve cutting performance and reduce operation time. Unlike
conventional single-acting hacksaws, this double-acting design enables cutting during both
the forward and return strokes, effectively doubling efficiency without notably increasing
power usage. The machine employs a robust crank and slider mechanism to convert rotary
motion into linear reciprocating action, delivering stable and consistent cutting operations.
Key components include the hacksaw blade unit, a driving motor, and a dual-action drive
mechanism. This setup significantly minimizes non-cutting strokes, enhancing material
removal and overall efficiency. The project also addresses essential mechanical
considerations such as material choice, motion analysis, and stress evaluation to ensure long
term durability and operational reliability. Designed with affordability and industrial
adaptability in mind, the machine supports large-scale usage. Test results confirm the
system’s efficiency, demonstrating a notable reduction in cutting time compared to traditional
designs. This innovation shows strong potential for widespread use in industrial and
workshop environments, promoting greater productivity and energy savings. | en_US |
