Aug 3, 2021 · • 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.
Shaft design involves consideration of the layout of features and components to be mounted on the shaft, specific dimensions and allowable tolerances, materials, deflection, frequency response, life and manufacturing constraints.
Learn how to design shafts for different types of loads, such as torque, bending, torsion and axial force. Find out the formulas, factors and examples for shaft materials, strength, rigidity and deflection.
Shaft design consists primarily of the determination of the correct shaft diameter to ensure satisfactory strength and rigidity when the shaft is transmitting power under various operating conditions. Shaft are usually circular in cross section, and may be either hollow of solid.
Shaft Design. A shaft is the component of a mechanical device that transmits rotational motion and power. It is integral to any mechanical system in which power is transmitted from a prime mover, such as an electric motor or an engine, to other rotating parts of the system.
