- Description
A shaft is a rotating member, usually of circular cross section, used to transmit power or motion. It provides the axis of rotation, or oscillation, of elements such as gears, pulleys, flywheels, cranks, sprockets, and the like and controls the geometry of their motion. An axle is a nonrotating member that carries no torque and is used to sup-port ...
The axial positioning of components is often dictated by the layout of the housing and other meshing components. In general, it is best to support load-carrying com-ponents between bearings, such as in Fig. 7–2a, rather than cantilevered outboard of the bearings, such as in Fig. 7–2c. Pulleys and sprockets often need to be mounted outboard for ease...
It is not necessary to evaluate the stresses in a shaft at every point; a few potentially critical locations will suffice. Critical locations will usually be on the outer surface, at axial locations where the bending moment is large, where the torque is present, and where stress concentrations exist. By direct comparison of various points along the...
Deflection analysis at even a single point of interest requires complete geometry infor-mation for the entire shaft. For this reason, it is desirable to design the dimensions at critical locations to handle the stresses, and fill in reasonable estimates for all other dimensions, before performing a deflection analysis. Deflection of the shaft, both...
Check that the deflections and slopes at the gears and bearings are acceptable. If necessary, propose changes in the geometry to resolve any problems.

Loose running fit: for wide commercial tolerances or allowances on external members Free running fit: not for use where accuracy is essential, but good for large temperature variations, high running speeds, or heavy journal pressures Close running fit: for running on accurate machines and for accurate location at moderate speeds and journal pressur...
