    Özgür Atasever
    This document discusses the design of shafts for transmitting power. It provides examples of calculating shaft diameter based on applied loads, power transmitted, allowable stresses, and deflection limits. The examples involve determining shaft diameter for bending and torsion loads, power transmission through pulleys on a shaft, hollow shaft design, and a shaft carrying an overhung pulley. Diameter is calculated considering factors like yield strength, torque, shear stress, rigidity, and safety factor.

    DESIGN OF SHAFTS

    Q.1 A cylindrical shaft made of steel of yield strength 700 MPa is subjected to static loads consisting of a
    bending moment of 10 kN-m and a torsional moment of 30 kN-m. Determine the diameter of the shaft using
    maximum principal stress and maximum shear stress theories of failure and assuming a factor of safety of 2.
    [Ans. 100 mm]

    Q.2 A horizontal shaft AD supported in bearings at A and B and carrying pulleys at C and D is to transmit
    75 kW at 500 r.p.m. from drive pulley D to off-take pulley C, as shown in Fig. 1.

    Fig. 1

    Calculate the diameter of shaft. The data given is: P1 = 2 P2 (both horizontal), Q1 = 2 Q2 (both vertical),
    radius of pulley C = 220 mm, radius of pulley D = 160 mm, allowable shear stress = 45 MPa.
    [Ans. 100 mm]

    Q.3 The shaft, as shown in Fig. 2, is driven by pulley ‘B’ from an electric motor. Another belt drive from
    pulley ‘A’ is running a compressor. The belt tensions for pulley ‘A’ are 1500 N and 600 N. The ratio of belt
    tensions for pulley ‘B’ is 3.5.

    Fig. 2

    The diameter of pulley A is 150 mm and the diameter of pulley B is 480 mm. The allowable tensile stress
    for the shaft material is 170 MPa and the allowable shear stress is 85 MPa. Taking torsion and bending
    factors as 1.25 and 1.75 respectively, find the shaft diameter. Also find out the dimensions for a hollow shaft
    with outside diameter limited to 30 mm. Compare the weights of the two shafts.
    [Ans. 30 mm; 24 mm; 1.82]
    Q.4 A shaft made of 40C8 steel is used to drive a machine. It rotates at 1500 r.p.m. The pulleys A, B and the
    bearings C, D are located as shown in Fig. 3. The belt tensions are also shown in the figure.

    Fig. 3

    Determine the diameter of the shaft. The permissible shear stress for the shaft material is 100 MPa. The
    combined shock and fatigue factor applied to bending and torsion are 1.5 and 1.2 respectively.
    [Ans. 25 mm]

    Q.5 A shaft is required to transmit 1 MW power at 240 r.p.m. The shaft must not twist more than 1 degree
    on a length of 15 diameters. If the modulus of rigidity for material of the shaft is 80 GPa, find the diameter
    of the shaft and shear stress induced.
    [Ans. 165 mm; 46.5 MPa]

    Q.6 An overhang hollow shaft carries a 900 mm diameter pulley, whose centre is 250 mm from the centre of
    the nearest bearing. The weight of the pulley is 600 N and the angle of lap is 180°. The pulley is driven by a
    motor vertically below it. If permissible tension in the belt is 2650 N and if coefficient of friction between
    the belt and pulley surface is 0.3, estimate, diameters of shaft, when the internal diameter is 0.6 of the
    external. Neglect centrifugal tension and assume permissible tensile and shear stresses in the shaft as 84
    MPa and 68 MPa, respectively.
    [Ans. 65 mm]
