Research of the Issue of Lightening the Construction of the Gin Saw Cylinder

The article investigates the problem of lightening the construction of the saw cylinder of the gin by drilling a central longitudinal through hole on the shaft and cutting circular holes on the saw blades. This is accompanied by a relatively large decrease in the mass of the saw cylinder and a relatively smaller decrease in the axial moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area of the shaft, which provides the maximum deflection of the saw cylinder under the action of its own gravity in the middle of the span is from 0.450 mm to 0.406 mm.
