AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ROPE MECHANISM DESIGN FOR VEHICLES

In the automotive sector, doors have an important issue in terms of vehicle and passenger safety. Therefore, different kindsof materials and mechanisms have been being designed and parameters have been being investigated and analyzed in orderto increase the functional efficiency of the vehicle doors. In this study, an automatic open/close mechanism is designedwhich can be used in all types of vehicles with sliding doors. Sliding door mechanism with rope system was analyzed andinformation about the parts of the mechanism was explained. Door weight, rope diameter, torque, opening time of the doorparameters were examined. Finally, the designed mechanism has mounted to a vehicle and it has been observed to worksuccessfully.
