Science and Education Publishing American Journal of Mechanical Engineering 1 7 2013 11 24 Possibility of using Simulink in the dynamics of lifting equipment 394 397 EN Jozef Filas Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Applied Mechanics and Mechatronics, Technical University of Košice, Letná 9, Košice, Slovak Republic Peter Čarnoky AJME20131748 10.12691/ajme-1-7-48 2013 10 17 2013 10 24 2013 11 24 The topic of solving lifting equipment includes, among other things, the solution of motion dynamics of mechanical system with regard to the relationship between drive of the system and selected kinematic variables. This article demonstrated the possibility of using MATLAB-SIMULINK and the method of weight and force variables reduction. In a similar manner it is possible to apply for different system configurations mechanical lift machine.
