• Shaft must have adequate torsional strength
to transmit torque and not over stressed
• Shaft are mounted in bearings and transmit
power through devices such as gears, pulleys,
cams and clucthes
• Components such as gears are mounted on
shaft using keys
• Shaft must sustain a combination of bending
and torsional loads

Objectives
• Compute forces acting on shafts from gears, pulleys and
sprockets
• Find bending moments from gears, pulleys or sprockets
that are transmitting loads to or from other devices
• Determine torque in shaft from gears, pulleys, sprockets,
clutches and coupling
• Compare combined stresses to suitable allowable
stresses, including any required stress reduction factors
such as stress concentration factors and factors of safety
• Determine suitability of shaft design and/or necessary
size of shafting

Steps of Shaft Design
1. Compute all force acting on shaft from gears, pulleys and sprockets.
2. Find the bending moments from gears, pulleys and sprockets, which
are transmitted to or from other devices.
3. Determine the combined force or moment on shaft.
4. Calculate the torque in the shaft due to gears, pulleys and sprockets.
5. Calculate the stresses from bending moment, shear and torsional loads.
6. Compare the acting stress to the allowable stress, including stress
concentration and safety factor.
7. Determine the suitable size of the shaft.

Power is transmitted between mating teeth, there are transmitted force (F t) and
separating force (Fn) so that resultant force (Fr):

θ is the pressure angle, i.e. the angle at a pitch point between the line of pressure
which is normal to the tooth surface, and the plane tangent to the pitch surface.

Critical Speed
• All object, when hit or struck or somehow disturbed, will vibrate. When objects
vibrate, they tend to vibrate at a particular frequency or a set of frequencies. The
frequency or frequencies at which an object tends to vibrate is know as the
natural frequency of the object.
• Critical speed is the theoretical rotational speed which excites the natural
frequency of a gear. As the critical speed approaches the part’s natural frequency,
its shaft begins to resonate which leads to excessive systemic vibration.
• Operating speed should be less than 80% of the calculated critical speed.

Example
A shaft drives a gear that is transmitting power 5 hp at
1750rpm. The shaft is supported in self aligning ball bearings,
and the gear’s. Shaft diameter is 100mm.The solid shaft
length with simple support beam is 1m and a sprocket is
fixed in the middle of the shaft that transversal load of 500N.
