shaft4

The document discusses the design and function of shafts, which are rotating members that transmit power and motion in machines. It covers the attachment methods for machine elements, the types of loads shafts experience, and the calculations for torque and bending moments. Additionally, it details the effects of combined bending and torsion loads on shafts, particularly in relation to gear systems.

Design of Shaft

• A shaft is a rotating member usually of circular cross-section (solid


or hollow), which transmits power and rotational motion.
• Machine elements such as gears, pulleys (sheaves), flywheels,
clutches, and sprockets are mounted on the shaft and are used to
transmit power from the driving device (motor or engine) through a
machine.
• Press fit, keys, dowel, pins and splines are used to attach these
machine elements on the shaft.
• The shaft rotates on rolling contact bearings or bush bearings.
• Various types of retaining rings, thrust bearings, grooves and steps
in the shaft are used to take up axial loads and locate the rotating
elements.
• Couplings are used to transmit power from drive shaft (e.g., motor)
to the driven shaft (e.g. gearbox, wheels).
The connecting shaft is loaded
primarily in torsion.
Combined bending and torsion loads on shaft:
Shaft carrying gears.

From power and rpm find the torque (T), which gives rise to shear stress.
From Torque (T) and diameter (d), find Ft = 2T/d. From Ft and pressure
angles of gears you can find Fr and Fa.
Fr and Ft are orthogonal to each other and are both transverse forces to
the shaft axis, which will give rise to normal bending stress in the shaft.
When shaft rotates, bending stress changes from tensile to compressive
and then compressive to tensile, ie, completely reversing state of stress.
Fa will give rise to normal axial stress in the shaft.
