Shaft and Gears Numerical 1

Numerical 1: The two solid shafts and gears shown are used to transmit 16 hp from the motor at A operating at a speed of 1260rpm to a machine tool at D. Knowing that the maximum allowable shearing stress is 8 ksi, Determine the required diameter of 
(a) shaft AB. 
(b) shaft CD.

Shaft and gear numerical


Solution:

The data given in the question are:
Power Transmitted ; P = 16 hp = 16 *6600 in.lb/sec
Speed; N = 1260 rpm
Radius of gear B ; rb = 3 in
Radius of gear C ; rc = 5 in
Maximum allowable stress; 𝝉 = 8 ksi

we know that 
        P = (2 𝝿NT)/ 60

here, P = 16*6600 in.lb/sec; N = 1260 rpm;  T = TAB
 
        16*6600 = (2 * 3.14 * 1260 * TAB) / 60
        TAB = 800.32

Now, TAB/ TCD = rb/rc
    TCD = (800.32*5)/3
             = 1333.87

(a) For Diameter of shaft AB

     𝝉AB = (TAB*CAB) / (𝝿/2*(CAB)^4)
here, CAB  is Radial distance from the Centroidal longitudinal axis to the outer surface AB
           8*10^3 = (800.32*CAB ) / (𝝿/2*(CAB)^4)
           CAB  = 0.399 in
since,  DAB  = 2*(CAB)
           DAB = 0.799 in

Therefore, Diameter of Shaft AB;  DAB = 0.799 in

(b) For Diameter of shaft CD

     𝝉CD = (TCD*CCD) / (𝝿/2*(CCD)^4)
here, CCD  is Radial distance from the Centroidal longitudinal axis to the outer surface CD
           8*10^3 = (1333.87.*CCD ) / (𝝿/2*(CCD)^4)
           CCD = 0.473 in
since,  DCD  = 2*(CCD)
           DCD  = 0.799 in

Therefore, Diameter of Shaft  CD;  DCD = 0.947 in
