Shaft Design for Engineers

1) The document describes a speed reducer with a V-belt drive supplying power to the input shaft and a chain drive taking power from the output shaft to a conveyor. 2) It provides specifications for the drive motor, shaft diameters, gear dimensions, and asks to determine the forces on each shaft and to design the three shafts of the reducer to transmit 12 hp. 3) Calculations are shown to determine the torque, forces, moments and bearing loads on each shaft based on the power and speed reductions through the drive components.

Problem #39
Figure P12-39 shows a speed reducer with a V-belt drive delivering power to the input shaft and a chain
drive taking power from the output shaft and delivering it to a conveyor
The drive motor supplies 12.0 hp and rotates 1150 rpm. The speed reductions of the V-belt drive and the
chain drive are proportional to the ratio of the diameter of the driving and driven sheaves or sprockets.
The arrangement of the gears in the reducer is the same as that described in Figure PI2-38 and Problem
38. Determine the forces applied to the motor shaft, to each of the three shafts of the reducer, and to the
conveyor drive shaft. Then complete the design of the three shafts of the reducer, assuming that all shafts
transmit 12.0 hp.
