Design and Simulation of a Customize Three-axis Gimbal Structure using Finite Element Analysis Method

This paper presents a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on customized three-axis gimbal design application. Examples of applications the gimbals such as drones, camera stabilizers, and spacecraft. The SolidWorks software checked gimbal’s FEA characteristics with no existing load or normal conditions. Using method, static simulation analysis where material this assembly uses Polylactic Acid (PLA), used mainly by 3D printer machines. force is given to structure obtains results maximum value stress in MPa, displacement mm, strain. Thus, based obtained from SolidWorks, will not fail. between parts 2.31 MPa for support part 3.09 model when yield PLA properties at 70 MPa. new hardware focuses academic purposes easy build using printer. In summary, fracture condition which has total 6.87 N, equal 0.70 kg weight base, O-ring, servo motors U-shape part. addition, can hold up 230.87 23.54 69.90 before it fail
