A pinion shaft for a helical gear reducer is sketched in figure, where the reaction forces on the pinion also shown. The pinion shaft is to be driven at 1140 rpm by a motor developing 14.9 kW. a) Draw load, shear, and bending moment diagrams for the shaft in both the horizontal and the vertical plane. Also make similar diagrams for axial load and for torsional moment on the shaft, assuming that the bearing at the right end (nearest the gear) supports all thrust (axial) loading. b) If the shaft is to be made of 1020 steel and a design safety factor 1.8 is desired, what diameter would be required at location B to provide infinite life?
