4.3.1 SShaft of a ge
earbox
A gearbo ox shaft (matterial E 335, see picture bbelow) is loaaded with tw
wo forces lyinng in the sam
me plane.
Beside thhe resulting bending moment a torq ue is applied d (drive powe
er P = 180kWW, rotation sppeed n =
‐‐1
600 min ) at the leftt shaft end (ccross sectionn 1). The drivven machine is connectedd to the shafft at the
right shaaft end (crosss section 5).
Given daata:
Drive powerr P = 1180kW
Rotation speeed: n = 6600min‐1
Loads: F1 = 46kN
F2 = 42kN
SSafety factorr: SD = 4
SShaft diametters: d1 = d5 = 80mm
d2 = d3 = d4 = 100
0mm
Distances: L = 3380mm
L1 = 510mm
L2 = 110mm
l1 = 550mm
l2 = 1130mm
l3 = 1190mm
l4 = L 2
l5 = 330mm
lA = 660mm
Determine
a) the bearingg loads FA and FB,
b) the bending moments Mb1 … Mb5,
c) the torque moment Mt,
d) the reactio
on load distributions for tthe bending moment and d the torquee along the sh
haft axis.
e) Are the diaameters for cross
c equate to transfer the appplied torque
sectionn 1 and 5 ade e?
f) Are the crooss sections 1 to 5 adequuate for the applied
a bendding momentts?
