Summary Of Shaft Design


A shaft is the component of mechanical devices that transmits mainly the Power and hence rotational motion.

It is integral to such devices as gear-type speed reducers, belt or chain drives, conveyors, pumps, fans, agitators, and many types of automation equipment.

In the process of transmitting power at a given rotational speed, the shaft is inherently subjected to a torsion moment, or torque. Therefore, torsion shear stress is developed in the shaft.

Also, a shaft usually carries power-transmitting components such as gears, belt sheaves, or chain sprockets, which exert forces on the shaft in the transverse direction. These transverse forces cause bending moments to be developed in the shaft. requiring analysis of the stress due to bending



The equation used in Shaft Design



M.S.S. = maximum allowable shear stress

f1= maximum allowable stress

d = outside diameter of shaft

K = inside diameter / outside diameter

Km = combined shock and fatigue factor for bending

Kt = combined shock and fatigue factor for torsion

F = axial force

M = bending moment

T = torque

column action factor


use for L/k<115


use for L/k>115



L = length of shaft between bearings

k = radius of gyration of shaft cross section

Syc = yield strength in compression

E = modulus of elasticity

n = 1.6 for ends partly restrained (as in bearings)

n = 1 for hinged ends (as in self-aligning bearings)
