putting resistance

σc=cp[(wtCaCsCmCf)/(Cvf*d*I)]*1/2

where Cp=elastic coefficient in (Mpa)0.5

I= geometric factor for pitting resistance

D= pitch diameter

Cp Wt Ca Cs Cm Cf Cv I

179√Mpa 218.38 1.5 1.02 1.5 1.02 0.6 0.64

Substituting the above value in the formula

σc=Cp[(wt*ca*cs*cm*cf)/(Cv*F*d*I)]

σc=179√Mpa[(218.38*1.5*1.02*1.5*1.02)/(0.6*15*120*0.64)]

σc=153.939Mpa

check for pitting

to be safe for pitting the following conditions should be satisfied

σc<σc,all

therefore…. Σc,all=(sc*Ca*Ch)/Ct*Cr

where Sc=1000

Ch=1.01

Cf=1.01

Ct=1.35

Cr=1

By substituting =σc,all=755.6 Mpa

Therefore this implies that σc<σc,all therefore the design is safe for pitting

Weight of gear
V=(π/4) *(dg2-dh2)*t

Where dg=120mm

Dh=20mm

T= 15mm

V= 1.64*10-4m3

Then the mass of the gear is m=V*P

=1.64*10-4*7850

=1.294Kg say m=1.49kg

Therefore w=1.4*10

=14N

3.4 Design of shaft

A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used to transmit power from one place to another. This
power is delivered to the shaft by some tangential force and the resultant torque (or twisting moment)
setup with in the shaft permits the power to be transferred to various mechanically linked up to the
shaft . in order to transfer the power from one shaft to another, the various members such as pulleys,
gears, etc are mounted on it. The shaft is used for the transmission of torque and bending moment. The
various members are mounted on the shaft by means of keys or splines

Materials used for shafts

Function requirement – the material used for shafts should have the following properties

 It should have strong


 It should have good machinability
 It should have low notch sensitivity factor
 It should have good heat treatment property
 It should have high wear resistance property

 Maximum permissible working stress for transmission shafts


According to the American society of mechanical engineers (ASME) code for the design of
transmission shafts, the maximum permissible working stresses in tension or compression may
be taken as
- 84Mpa for shafts with allowance for key ways
- Maximum permissible shear stress may be taken as 42 Mpa for shaft allowance for
keyways

T=(p*60)/(2πN)

T=39.01Nm
Let T1(F1)and T2(F2) be tension in the tight side and slack side of the belt on pulley A
F1=951.2N
F2=732.82N
 Total vertical load acting downward on the shaft at point A.
εfy= F1+F2+WA

 Assuming that the torque of the gear B is the same as that of the shaft, the tangential force
acting vertically upward on the gear B.

 Since the weight of the gear B acts vertically downward, therefore the total vertical load acting
upward on the gear.
