Shaft Definition and 370 Threads

Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I am analyzing the following system: a shaft that contains a transmission pulley, a support, and a grinding wheel used for polishing tanks. I want to design the shaft and calculate the required torque to select the motor. I have encountered...

TL;DR Summary: A 10-kW engine drives a solid round steel shaft 1 m long by means of a V belt and pulley at the midpoint of the shaft. At one end of the shaft 7 kW is removed and at the other end 3 kW is removed. The shaft diameter is 15 mm and it operates at 1000 rpm. Assuming that no power is...

Our company has made our own shaft keys for many years, grinding them on the 4 loaded surfaces. For example, let's say the pulley and shaft key seats are .5005 +/- .0005 wide. We've made ground keys that are .4995+/- .0002 with a flatness of .0004. We now are considering purchasing keys with a...

Hi, In refreshing up on some topics regarding Mohr's circle, I came across this problem and can't seem to understand how the forces for the sheaves were obtained. The problem contains a shaft that has two V-belt sheaves rotating in opposite directions. The shaft has a Torque of 1100 lb-in and...

The task at hand is to seal a rotating shaft with high vacuum (10^-5 tor) on one side using a STEFA rotary shaft seal. The STEFA is basic and look reminiscent of the one below. Are there guides for choosing the dimensions of the enclosure, similar to the O-ring guide used for O-ring seals...

Hello, I am working on vibrations and modal analysis recently. I have a question that I could not find any answer. Can you please help me? Imagine a shaft. When we run the free free modal analysis lets assume that first bending mode is 600 Hz. Then we add 2 massless springs to the shaft. The...

Hi, I need help finding a way to seal my 775DC 30,000 rpm 5mm motor shaft going into my pump housing I built. This motor will run once a week for up to 5 minutes. The pump with have air and water in it. I will rarely ever be completely filled with water. So, the pump will mainly be pushing...

I have a motor and a 3 phase generator which I would like to connect together, i.e. let the motor drive the generator and measure it's output. Each have their own type of shaft which do not fit together. I would therefore like to get some proposals, preferably which do not require custom work at...

Being so noob in taper connection, asking: How do we correctly seat a motor shaft connector of B taper system, most commonly B12, B16, B18, into its chuck mate in such that if there's no bolt fastening axially in center it's still quite viable and reliable ? it's just a press by a muscled hand...

Anyone understand to do as correctly as possible on 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one, as the available affordable is motor shaft 3.17 mm diameter and the (leftmost image of adv.) connector/adapter of 5 mm diameter M10 ? So what'd be the most suitable pad/filler and how is to do it?

Summary:: Torsional stress on freely spinning shaft? Hey guys, I’m having some confusion with a certain section of the “Torsion” chapter in my mechanics of materials book: “power transmission”. Please see the problem below. This is very easy to SOLVE (basically plug and chug with the...

So i need a little bit of help with a problem. I have a tapered shaft connected to a gearbox and i need to caluclate the deflection of the shaft and the max shear stress of the shaft. the total length of the shaft is 500mm the diameter is 35mm and tapers to 28mm with the taper length of 90mm...

Hello! Long story short, I am interested in installing a snap ring rated for 5 mm diameter shafts over a 6 mm diameter shaft into the appropriate groove. For several reasons, I cannot use other types of retaining rings (i.e. side mount E-style retaining rings, etc). This is the snap ring...

I apologize in advance for any errors in my concepts or assumptions. Feel free to correct me wherever I am wrong. Thanks in advance for the help. There is a vertical shaft which will be operated at around 600 rpm (N) which can be achieved in 2 seconds (or even 4 just an assumption). The shaft...

I have drawn the bending moment diagram to try to help me determine the moment, but I am certain my values are wrong. I have included a picture of my gearbox design, where the bottom shaft is what I'm trying to calculate. I've been able to calculate the top shaft moments and reaction forces...

Is this design correct?

Hello Everyone, I'm working on a future mechanical structure with a rotating shaft. In this project, I should be able to control the resistance on the shaft but instead of adding some extra weights on the shaft to increase inertia, I don't have any ideas. Does anyone have an idea of simple...

Hello, Im trying to calculate the torque needed for a system that i want to design. i want to raise and drop a weight of 800 kg. Ive made some calculation but I am not certain i did it right. I think I am on the right track but i feel like the numbers are a bit high. I have a hard time finding...

Given: r1 = 0.75 r2 = 1.5 Ok, i have done statics and dynamics, but this book does things differently than the way i accomplished it in the previous classes. This is for mechanical engineering design class. Here is my question. They take sum of the moments along X, which goes through the center...

I've harvested a motor from a cordless drill and connected it to a belt which turns a rotating shaft. The motor pulley and the pulley on the other side of the belt are roughly the same size, which a fairly small radius (5 mm maybe?). The issue I'm running into, which I don't fully understand...

Hello everyone, I have a fan's induction motor, whose shaft is worn-out. I would like to use Shielded Metal Arc Welding (a.k.a. Stick Welding) to fill some metal into the worn-out area. Then, I will do machining to cut the excessive metal out. However, somebody told me that if the temperature...

I have seen seals in the form of multiple grooves in a shaft with no other sealing element like o-rings etc. in many applications. For example i have seen this in hydraulic spool valves, but also in high pressure and high temperature gas applications like on pistons in gas operated firearms. My...

I wish to draw a proper free-body diagram for this shaft. However, my FBD does not agree with the solutions manual. If someone could point out where I erred, that would be great. This is what I drew: From my FBD, it is clear that the maximum torque is present in section DE of the shaft. We...

So I have a Stylus as shown in above fig. Fixed at Point A, Force (F) is applied perpendicular to the stylus axis. How do we find deflection at the end of the Stylus (Made of Two Different Materials as shown in the figure)? Hand Calculations are much appreciated. Thank you.

I think i read somewhere that jet engine shaft is neutral,because forces at turbine and compressor cancle out,so that mean axial berings don't have force on it in direction of thrust!? (this can't be true,becsue in that case thrust will be zero...) But if this is true ,against what pressure...

I am working on a design for a water powered drive shaft. The water source would be from a 2.5 inch diameter hose, at approx 75-100 psi. The goal would be to get 55-115 RPM from the shaft and max torque in the smallest possible handheld device. That being said, it seems my best options for...

[I've searched the site and did google. I couldn't find a satisfactory answer] I have the motor characteristics and the moment of inertia of the object I'm supposed to spin with it. I have to design the shaft considering the torsional failure. Now, if I consider the inertia of the body, there is...

Hello, So I am designing a shaft which would involve bearings on the shaft, and a housing which would enclose the shaft. The shaft would be slightly bigger than the bearing hole which would create an interference fit so the bearings would stay on the shaft tightly. At the same time the bearing...
