Module I

I I The rotating solid steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points B and C (14)
und is driven by a gear (not shown) which meshes with the spur gear at D, which
has a 150-mm pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a pressure
angle of 20o. The shaft transmits a torquefu point A of Te = 340 N . m. the shai
is machined from steel with yield tensile strength, oy = 420 MPa and ultimate
tensile strength,oul : 560 MPa. Using a factor of safety of 2.5, determine the
minimum allowable diameter of the 250-mm section of the shaft based on
maximum normal stress.

13 a) The brake shown in the figure ft$ittr Oimensions in mm) has a coefficient of (S)

friction of 0.30 with an angle of contactof 270" and is to operate using a maximum
force F of 400 N. If the band width is 50 mm. find the band tensions and the

braking torque.
