V. The ASME Code
• Applicable to shaft subjected to axial load, torsion and bending.
For the Strength
ASME code specifies that for commercial steel shafting;
• 𝑆𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 =8000 psi or 55 MPa (for shaft without keyway)
• 𝑆𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 =6000 psi or 41.37 MPa (for shaft with keyway)
ASME code states that for ductile material purchased under definite
specification;
• 𝑆𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 =0.30 𝑆𝑦
or
• 𝑆𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 =0.18 𝑆𝑢
Note: 1.) In designing use the smaller value
2.) These values are to be reduced by 25% if keyways are present
Basic Information and Definitions
A shaft is basically a rotating member supported by bearings and
transmitting power. Short shafts on machines are called spindles. Shafts
that are stationary and purely loaded in bending with gears, pulleys,
and wheels rotating on it are called axles.

A 3 in. marine propeller shaft driven at 100 rpm is to be replaced
by two identical shafts driven at 720 rpm, and between them
transmitting 80% more power. If the replacements are to carry a 20%
increase in maximum shear stress over the original shaft, estimate the
suitable diameter of replacement.
