Problem Statement
Population of small motorcycle in Indonesia
is around 40 millions with additional new
motorcycles of around 5 millions per year.
The motorcycles are mostly produced by
Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and various local as
well as Chinese and Indians brands.
There are needs in adding the capacity to
transport goods since the motorcycles are
also used to run small businesses. The
challenge is to design the additional capacity
as requested by the costumer
Costumer Request
No. Request Criteria
1 The width is relatively unchanged Must
2 Has good stability and handling Must
3 Can be installed and uninstalled easily Must
4 Function of the motorcycle remain the same Must
5 Esthetics Must
6 Fail-safe design Must
7 Has protection against rain and dust Wish
8 Can be used for various brand of motorcycle Wish

shows the strain at
the bridge of the
strain element where
the strain gages are
located and glued
EXAMPLE OF CASE STUDY
Design of Load Cell
1. Machining according to
the specified dimensions
2. Threading for the upper
connecting element (M6)
and for the bottom cover
(M20)
3. Wire cutting to make the
bridge for the strain gage
locations (shown in this
drawing)
