    This document describes the design and fabrication of a shaft-driven bicycle. A shaft-driven bicycle uses a shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the rider's legs to the rear wheel. It contains two sets of bevel gears, one at each end of the shaft, to create a new transmission system. The shaft-driven design allows for a smoother, more consistent pedaling motion compared to a chain-driven bike. It also requires less maintenance and is more durable. The document outlines the working principle, design assumptions, advantages, and applications of the shaft-driven bicycle.

    DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SHAFT DRIVEN BICYCLE

    ABSTRACT

    The development of the chain drive helped make the bicycle that we know
    today possible. The chain drive eliminated the need to have the cyclist directly
    above the wheel. A shaft driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a shaft drive
    instead of a chain which contain two set of bevel gear at both the ends to make a
    new kind of transmission system for bicycle for getting high reliability system,
    and more safe system.

    This project is developed for the users to rotate the back wheel of a two-wheeler
    using propeller shaft. Usually in two wheelers, chain and sprocket method is
    used to drive the back wheel. Shaft-driven bikes have a large bevel gear where a
    conventional bike would have its chain ring.

    This meshes with another bevel gear mounted on the drive shaft. The use of
    bevel gears allows the axis of the drive torque from the pedals to be turned
    through 90 degrees.

    The drive shaft then has another bevel gear near the rear wheel hub which
    meshes with a bevel gear on the hub where the rear sprocket would be on a
    conventional bike, and cancelling out the first drive torque change of axis. This
    avoid the usage of chain and sprocket method.

    Key Words: Introduction, Components, Design of Bevel Gear & Shaft

    INTRODUCTION

    The shaft drive has been developed more recently and only few companies are
    manufacturing those types. The shaft drive uses a shaft instead of a chain to
    transmit power from the rider’s legs to the wheels. Typically, gears are sealed
    inside a housing that are attached to the main shaft.

    The number of the shaft drive manufacturers is increasing and public interests
    are growing as well. It is slowly changing the bike industry. The engineer is
    constantly conformed with the challenges of bringing ideas and design into
    reality. New machines and techniques are being developed continuously to
    manufacture various products at cheaper rates and high quality.

    So, we are going to make a machine for CYCLE industry using bevel gear gives
    mechanical advantages and make it multipurpose.
    WORKING PRINCIPLE

    The job involved is the design for suitable drive shaft and replacement of chain
    drive smoothly to transmit power from the pedal to the wheel without slip. It
    needs only a less maintenance. It is cost effective. Propeller shaft strength is
    more and also propeller shaft diameter is less. It absorbs the shock. Because the
    propeller shaft center is fitted with the universal joint is a flexible joint. It turns
    into any angular position.

    The both end of the shaft are fitted with the bevel pinion, the bevel pinion
    engaged with the crown and power is transmitted to the rear wheel through the
    propeller shaft and gear box. With our shaft drive bicycle, there is no more
    grease on your hands or your clothes; and no more chain and derailleur
    maintenance.

    DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS

    1. The shaft rotates at a constant speed about its longitudinal axis.


    2. The shaft has a uniform, circular cross section.
    3. The shaft is perfectly balanced, i.e., at every cross section, the mass center
    coincides with the Geometric center.
    4. All damping and nonlinear effects are excluded.
    5. The stress-strain relationship for composite material is linear & elastic; hence,
    Hooke’s law is Applicable for composite
    6. materials.
    7. Acoustical fluid interactions are neglected, i.e., the shaft is assumed to be acting
    in a vacuum.
    8. Since lamina is thin and no out-of-plane loads are applied, it is considered as
    under the plane Stress.

    ADVANTAGES

    1. Drive system is less likely to become jammed.


    2. The use of a gear system creates a smoother and more consistent
    pedalling motion.
    3. Lower maintenance.
    4. Efficiency is more as compared to conventional bicycle design.
    5. High durability.
    6. Low cost of ownership when manufactured in large scale.
    APPLICATIONS

    1. It is used for racing purpose.


    2. Also used for Off-road riding.
    3. For Cycling.
    4. For public and bicycle rental purpose.
