SHAFT DESIGN
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
For shafts purchased under definite physical specifications, the permissible tensile
stress (σt) may be taken as 60 per cent of the elastic limit in tension (σel), but not more
than 36 per cent of the ultimate tensile strength (σu). In other words, the permissible
tensile stress, σt = 0.6 σel or 0.36 σu, whichever is less.
6.4 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE WORKING
STRESSES FOR TRANSMISSION SHAFTS
The maximum permissible shear stress may be taken as
(a) 56 MPa for shafts without allowance for key ways.
(b) 42 MPa for shafts with allowance for keyways.
For shafts purchased under definite physical specifications, the permissible shear
stress (τ) may be taken as 30 per cent of the elastic limit in tension (σel) but not more
than 18 per cent of the ultimate tensile strength (σu). In other words, the permissible
shear stress, τ = 0.3 σel or 0.18 σu, whichever is less.
6.5 DESIGN OF SHAFTS
The shafts may be designed on the basis of
1. Strength, and 2. Rigidity and stiffness.

KEYS AND COUPLINGS
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
A Keyway a groove ill the shaft and mating member to which the key fits.
Feather key is one which has a tight fit into one member
and a loose sliding fit in the other member thus allowing
the hub to move along the shaft but prevents rotation on
the shaft.

When do we need to have a flange coupling? And Why is it essential part of power
transmission?
7.3 COUPLINGS
A good shaft coupling should have the following requirement:
Shearing of Bolts
Compression of Bolts

BOLTS AND SCREW
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Advantages
1. Screwed joints are highly reliable in operation.
2. Screwed joints are convenient to assemble anddisassemble.
3. A wide range of screwed joints may be adopted to various operating conditions.
4. Screws are relatively cheap to produce due to standardisation and highly efficient
manufacturing processes.
Disadvantages
The main disadvantage of the screwed joints is the stress concentration in the threaded
portions which are vulnerable points under variable load conditions.
8.2 IMPORTANT TERMS USED IN SCREW
THREADS
1. Major diameter. It is the largest
diameter of an external or internal screw
thread. The
screw is specified by this diameter. It is
also known as outside or nominal diameter.
2. Metric System

8.5 STRESSES IN SCREWED FASTENING DUE
TO STATIC LOADING
The following stresses in screwed fastening due to static loading are important from the
subject point of view :
on the basis of direct tensile stress with a large factor of safety in order to account for the
indeterminate stresses. The initial tension in a bolt, based on experiments, may be found
by the relation
