A 45 mm diameter shaft is made of plain carbon steel with a yield strength of 400
Mpa. A parallel key of size 14 mm wide and 9 mm thick made of steel with yield
strength of 340 Mpa is to be used. Find the required length of key, if the shaft is
loaded to transmit the maximum permissible torque. Use maximum shear stress
theory and assume a fos is 2

A transmission shaft carries a pulley midway between the two bearings. The
bending moment at the pulley varies from 200 Nm to 600 Nm as the torsional
moment in the shaft varies from 70 Nm to 200 Nm. The frequencies of variation of
bending and torsional moments are equal to the shaft speed. The shaft is made of
steel (6ut = 540 N/mm2 and 6yt = 400 N/mm2). The corrected endurance limit of
the shaft is 200 N/mm2. Determine the diameter of the shaft using a factor of
safety of ‘2’.

cottar is 6 and 4 respectively. Assume yield strength in compression is twice the
yield strength in tension

N/mm2 and Syt = 480 N/mm2). The factors Kb and Kt of the ASME code are 2 and 1.5
respectively. The gears are keyed to the shaft. Determine the shaft diameter using
ASME code
