UNIT II SHAFT AND COUPLINGS
Shaft:
A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used to transmit power
from one place to another.
The power is delivered to the shaft by some tangential force and the
resultant torque (or twisting moment) set up within the shaft permits
the power to be transferred to various machines linked up to the
shaft.
A shaft is used for the transmission of torque and bending moment

•2.1.4 Types of Shafts
•The following two types of shafts are important from the subject point of view :
•1. Transmission shafts.
•These shafts transmit power between the source and the machines absorbing power. The
counter shafts, line shafts, over head shafts and all factory shafts are transmission shafts.
Since these shafts carry machine parts such as pulleys, gears etc., therefore they are
subjected to bending in addition to twisting.
•2. Machine shafts.
•These shafts form an integral part of the machine itself. The crank shaft is an example of
machine shaft.

• 2.1.5 Stresses in Shafts
• The following stresses are induced in the shafts :
• 1. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (i.e. due to
torsional load).
• 2. Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting
upon machine elements like gears, pulleys etc. as well as due to the
weight of the shaft itself.
• 3. Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.

• 2.1.6 Design of Shafts
• The shafts may be designed on the basis of
• 1. Strength, and 2. Rigidity and stiffness.
• In designing shafts on the basis of strength, the following cases may
be considered :
• (a) Shafts subjected to twisting moment or torque only,
• (b) Shafts subjected to bending moment only,
• (c) Shafts subjected to combined twisting and bending moments, and
• (d) Shafts subjected to axial loads in addition to combined torsional
and bending load.

Problems on shaft subjected to twisting and bending
1. line shaft is driven by means of a motor placed vertically below it.
The pulley on the line shaft is 1.5 metre in diameter and has belt
tensions 5.4 kN and 1.8 kN on the tight side and slack side of the belt
respectively. Both these tensions may be assumed to be vertical. If the
pulley be overhang from the shaft, the distance of the centre line of the
pulley from the centre line of the bearing being 400 mm, find the
diameter of the shaft. Assuming maximum allowable shear stress of 42
MPa

• Given : D = 1.5 m or R = 0.75 m; T1 = 5.4 kN = 5400 N ; T2 = 1.8 kN =
1800 N ;L = 400 mm ; τ = 42 MPa = 42 N/mm2
