Design and development of an innovative universal rotor holder automotive tool for operational efficiency of partner

This study presents the design and analysis of a universal rotor holder intended for automotive applications, focusing on its structural integrity under static loading conditions. The rotor holder was subjected to a static load at both fixed and sliding retainer, with a fixed geometry support for stability. Using SolidWorks, we conducted simulations to evaluate the Von Mises stress, displacement, and strain of the holder. The analysis revealed a maximum Von Mises stress of 16.390 MPa, which is well below the alloy steel's yield strength of 620.422 MPa, verifying the design's safety during operation. Furthermore, the measured displacement of 0.01214 mm and zero strain highlighted the holder's capability to preserve structural integrity without significant deformation. These results indicate that the universal rotor holder is both durable and dependable, making it ideal for accommodating various rotor sizes in automotive maintenance tasks. The implications of this research highlight the importance of using high-quality materials and precise engineering in tool design, ultimately enhancing safety and efficiency in automotive repair practices. This study contributes to the field by providing a validated design framework for future tool development in the automotive industry.
