Abstract: Due to the shortage of professional climbers for cutting the coconuts, many farmers are looking for coconut tree climbing mechanisms.This article aims to develop the mechanism model and examine the various types of stresses, that is, Von-misses stress and maximum shear stress, and deformation of the various mechanical components of the climbing mechanism.The mechanical parts are required to run the mechanisms are modelled individually in CREO.Further, the analysis has been conducted using ANSYS 2021.The result shows that the stresses acting on each mechanism components are less than the permissible limit of the estimated loading conditions.Therefore, it can be observed that the designed components of the mechanism can effectively withstand the load during operating conditions.
