A line shaft rotating at 200 r.p.m. is to transmit 20 kW. The shaft may
be assumed to be made of mild steel with an allowable shear stress
of 42 MPa. Determine the diameter of the shaft, neglecting the
bending moment on the shaft

Find the diameter of a solid steel shaft to transmit 20 kW at 200 r.p.m.


The ultimate shear stress for the steel may be taken as 360 MPa and a
factor of safety as 8. If a hollow shaft is to be used in place of the solid
shaft, find the inside and outside diameter when the ratio of inside to
outside diameters is 0.5.
A Shaft is required to transmit 45kW power at 500 rpm. It is a hollow
shaft, having an inside diameter 0.6 times of outside diameter. It is
made of plain carbon steel and the permissible shear stress is 84
N/mm2 . Calculate the inside and outside diameters of the shaft
A solid shaft of diameter d is used in power transmission. Due to
modification of the existing system, it is required to replace the
solid shaft by a hollow shaft of the same material and equally
strong in torsion. Further , the weight of the hollow shaft per
metre length should be half of the solid. Determine the outer
diameter of the hollow shaft in term of d
A solid circular shaft is subjected to a bending moment of 3000 N-m
and a torque of 10 000 N-m. The shaft has ultimate tensile stress of
700 Mpa and a ultimate shear stress of 500 MPa. Assuming a factor of
safety as 6, determine the diameter of the shaft
A solid circular shaft is subjected to a bending moment of 3000 N-m
and a torque of 10 000 N-m. The shaft has ultimate tensile stress of
700 Mpa and a ultimate shear stress of 500 MPa. Assuming a factor of
safety as 6, determine the diameter of the shaft
A Pair of wheels of a railway wagon carries a load of 50kN on each
axle box, acting a distance of 100 mm outside the wheel base. The
Gauge of the rails is 1.4 m. Find the diameter of the axle between the
wheels, if the stress is not exceed 100MPa
A shaft made of mild steel is required to transmit 100 kW at 300 r.p.m.
The supported length of the shaft is 3 metres. It carries two pulleys
each weighing 1500 N supported at a distance of 1 metre from the
ends respectively. Assuming shear stress = 60 N/mm2 , determine the
diameter of the shaft.
A steel spindle transmits 4 kW at 800 r.p.m. The angular deflection
should not exceed 0.25° per metre of the spindle. If the modulus of
rigidity for the material of the spindle is 84GPa, find the diameter of
the spindle and the shear stress induced in the spindle
Line shaft is driven by means of a motor placed vertically below it. The pulley on the
line shaft is 1.5 metre in diameter and has belt tensions 5.4 kN and 1.8 kN on the tight
side and slack side of the belt respectively. Both these tensions may be assumed to be
vertical. If the pulley be overhang from the shaft, the distance of the centre line of the
pulley from the centre line of the bearing being 400 mm, find the diameter of the shaft.
Assuming maximum allowable shear stress of 42MPa.
A hollow transmission shaft, having inside diameter 0.6 times the outside
diameter, is made of plain carbon steel 40C8 (Syt = 380 N/ mm2) and the factor of
safety is 3. A belt pulley, 1000 mm in diameter, is mounted on the shaft, which
overhangs the left hand bearing by 250 mm. The belts are vertical and transmit
power to the machine shaft below the pulley. The tension on the tight and slack
sides of the belt are 3 kN and 1 kN respectively, while the weight of the pulley is
500 N. Calculate the outside and inside diameters of the shaft
The armature shaft of a 40 kW, 720 rpm electric motor, mounted on two bearings A and
B, is shown in Figure. The total magnetic pull on the armature is 7 kN and it can be assumed
to be uniformly distributed over a length of 700 mm midway between the bearings. The shaft is
made of steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 770 N/mm 2 and yield strength of 580 N/mm2.
Determine the shaft diameter using the ASME code if, k b= 1.5 and kt = 1.0
Assume that the pulley is keyed to the shaft.
