E N D
Shaft Design Procedure • Determine rpm of shaft • Determine power or torque • Determine part mounted on shaft (gears, belts…) • Determine location of bearing • Determine location of (key, fillets …)
Shaft Design Procedure (Cont’d) • Draw torque diagram • Determine forces on shaft • Resolve components of forces in horizontal & vertical plan • Solve the reaction on bearing • Produce S.F. Diagram & B.M. diagram
Shaft Design Procedure (Cont’d) • Select material and specify its condition (Suggested material is : AISI 1040, 4140, 4340, 4640, 5150, 6150, and 8650). Then determine • Determine appropriate design stress, considering the manner of loading (smooth, shock…) • Analyze each critical point of shaft then decide which point is safer • Specify the final dimensions
Flat-Belt sheaves Stress Concentration in Shafts
When shaft designed according to strength the following cases can be considered: • Shaft subjected to bending only (Axle) • Shaft subjected to torsion only
