Critical speed

Determine the smallest safe diameter for the two shafts using the ASME design code for transmission shafts. Calculate the dimensions of the keys and the keyways at shaft 1 and 2 for the two gears and the pulleys.

Shaft Design Figure 1 shows a simple gear box with various machine elements and components. Shaft No. 2 is rotating through gears by shaft No. 1 which is rotating through two pulleys by an electric motor. The transmission shaft No. 1 stands on two bearings and the rotational speed is transfer by the belt. The […]
