Wedge
In BHEL gate valve has wedges from 3” to 32”.

Contd.,
The wedge is made by casting process. Then the ‘T’ slot and guide slot are made
by milling process in vertical milling machine and horizontal milling machine.
The ‘T’ slot is used to hold the wedge by means of a stem which is normally connected with actuator or hand wheel.
Guide slot is used for up and down motion of wedge inside the valve.

Design
Base plate:
Base plate is designed according to the milling machine bed dimensions and angle plate dimension. The base plate is fastened with the bed by using ‘T’ bolts.
Dimension: 1484 X 1484
Material: IS 2062 (carbon steel)

Contd.,
Angle plate:
To make the parallel machining surface to the machine bed the inclination of the angle plate is set to 4.50.
Material: IS 2062 (carbon steel)
![Page 13: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Contd.,
Heat treated plate: It is a circular thin plate of thickness
10mm. It has the same diameter of the Angle plate . This is gas carburized plate . Use of the plate is to reduce the fixture wear due to continuous loading and unloading of work piece.
Clamp:For this fixture we select the strap
clamp. We design the strap clamp. The calculations are as follows.
![Page 15: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Clamping force calculations For any fixture the clamping force should be greater than the cutting force,
so we calculate the cutting force by the following formula.
CUTTING FORCE (FC) =
Here, K=material constant (KN/mm2), f = feed(mm/s) d =depth of cut (mm),b =width of cut (mm)
Cs = cutting speed (mm/s).
cutting speed Cs =
=
= 7.5398 X 103 mm/s
![Page 16: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Contd.,
Fc =
=13,428.7 N.
Clamping force should be greater than the cutting force
So, Let as assume clamping force is 40000 N. (3 times of cutting force)
Total no of clamps = 4
For each clamp clamping force should be 10000 N.
![Page 17: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Contd.,
To get the 10000N clamping force chose the bolt diameter from the force exerted by bolts table.(table 3.1,design of jigs, fixtures and press tools by C.Elanchezhian book)
The range is 8227.23 – 11454.55 N. For this range the bolt diameter is 22.23 mm. From standard bolt table from DDB 5.49.
From the above M24 bolt is selected Material: SA193 B7 .(medium carbon steel)
![Page 18: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Strap design
For effective clamping the one third of the clamp length provided in between bolt and work piece.
![Page 19: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Contd.,From the above d = 24 (d = diameter of the bolt)From DDB, for M24 bolt the total length of the
clamp, B = 200 mm.And the 2/3 of B is the distance between rest
screw and the bolt .
A = 2/3 B
= 2/3 (200)
A = 133.33 ~ 133mm. And the chamfer values are taken from the DDB Values of A , B , d are used to find the thickness
and width, slot. The calculations are as follows,
![Page 20: Design and Fabrication of Wedge Milling Fixture](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042515/553615d74a7959e81d8b4856/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Contd., Width (w)
w = 2.3 d +1.5748
=2.3 X 24 + 1.5748
= 56.7748 mm ~ 57mm. Thickness(t)
t2= 0.85 d A [1- (A/B)]
= 0.85 X 24 X 133[1-(133/200)]
t2 = 908.4196
t=30.14 mm ~ 30 mm. Slot width (c)
c=d+1.5748
=24+1.5748
=25.5748 ~ 26mm.
