Calculate deflection on beam

[hackatall]

I need to calculate or get help dimensioning an I-beam or H-beam for a hoist that should be able to support up to 1000kg.

So, a simply supported beam, point load up to 1 ton, deflection max 10mm, length 5000mm.

A height would help

Realized it after 1 min
5 meters.

For deflection less than 10 mm, HEA160, HEB140, or IPE180 are needed. The latter is definitely the lightest and should be the cheapest (the others are an option if the height is limited). Also, check that the addition due to the beam's own weight is okay with IPE180.

Thank you!

better response is hard to get!
Appreciated.

Thank you!

It's hard to get a better answer!
Appreciated.

Strength of materials is always a pleasure. Hope the wine hasn't rounded too much off.

True, I have studied the subject but haven't worked with it, so the uncertainty is great.

But thanks to your excellent notes, I can calculate other beams and their deflection in an easy way, maybe squeeze it into an Excel sheet to make it easier to try different beams.

Hi, I am in the process of building a garage. I just want to know if HeAa 160 is capable of acting as a supporting beam for loose roof rafters/trusses over a length of 10m.

The answer is probably yes/no/maybe.

What forces will be affecting it, how is it fixed at the ends, how much deflection can you tolerate?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. It will stand on vkr 160x160x10 with a welded plate 300x300 X20. Regarding deflection, it's just the roof with a metal roof.
