Example
Determine a suitable diameter for a shaft
made from AISI 1144 OQT 1000. It is
subjected to a reversing bending moment of
3000 ft lbs and a steady torque of 1800 ft lbs.
The shaft has a profile keyway.
Example
The shaft shown is part of a grain drying system
At A, a 34 lb. propeller-type fan requires 12 hp
when rotating at 475 rpm.
A flat belt pulley at D delivers 3.5 hp to a screw
conveyor handling the grain.
All power comes to the shaft through the v-belt at
C.
Using AISI 1144 cold drawn steel, determine the
minimum acceptable diameter at C.

Mechanical Couplings
Couplings are used to join two shafts
Rigid couplings are simple and low cost.
But they demand almost perfect alignment
of the mating shafts.
Misalignment causes undue forces and
accelerated wear on the shafts, coupling,
shaft bearings, or machine housing.
Mechanical Couplings
In connecting two shafts, misalignment is
the rule rather than the exception. It comes
from such sources as bearing wear,
structural deflection, thermal expansion, or
settling machine foundations.
When misalignment is expected, a flexible
coupling must be used.
Mechanical Couplings
Selection factors include:
- Amount of torque (or power & speed)
- Shaft Size
- Misalignment tolerance
