DESIGN OF SHAFTS
 DESIGN OF SHAFTS
▪ A shaft is a long cylindrical element loaded torsionally, transversely and/or axially as a machine operates.
Consequently, shafts can be classified as transmission shafts, axles and spindles according to the loads they carry.
▪ Transmission shafts carry both bending and torsional moments, and are usually stepped, as shown in Figure
10.1a.They support gears, pulleys and so on and often transmit power.
▪ Axles carry bending moments only. They are used to support rotating wheels, pulleys and the like. An axle can turn
with a wheel as a unit, like a railway car axle, as illustrated in Figure 10.1b, or is nonrotating, like the axle of the front
wheel of a bicycle.
▪ Spindles take torsional moments only, like the one in an automobile, as shown in Figure 10.1c.
▪ Lineshaft or mainshaft is a type of transmission shaft driven by a prime mover.
▪ Countershaft, jackshaft, headshaft, or shortshaft, are types of shaft that is placed intermediate between the line
shaft and the driven machine.
To minimize deflections, shaft materials are generally cold drawn or
machined from hot-rolled, plain carbon steel.
