Final diameters of the shaft Shafts transmit torque. If there is a key under the gear, which cause concentration of the stress, the calculated diameter has to be increased 10% and the final figure to be rounded to the higher standard value. In our case: dC=22,8*1.1=25,08 [mm]

The next standard figure is 30mm which we accept as the diameter of the shaft at point C dC=30 [mm] At points A and B are the bearing shoulders of the shaft. According to the calculations dB=0. In this case is logical to accept dA = dB Diameters of the bearings are every 5 millimeters. Therefore it is logical to accept dA=dB=20 [mm]

As it is showed in the diagram there are some critical points (A,B,C) on the shaft. Points A and B where we have got bearings and also point C where we have got the gear. In this case the calculations that we have done before is about these points to find the forces, moments and the diameters. There are only radial loads effect the shaft which means there is no moment on the axes X. At first we use the input power to calculate the torque. It helps us to find out the maximum force on the gear. Then we calculate all the forces on planes X-Y and X-Z. However we can calculate the maximum forces on points A and B. After all these we can calculate the moments and the diameters.

Bearing Choosing
After calculating the diameter of the shaft, we can choose a bearing to connect this part to the gear. In this case we should find the best bearing type for our component. However there are many bearing companies provides huge various types of bearings as it depends where we would like to use it. For example under pressure, high speed, radial or/and axial loads, high temperature, 6

in vibration or any other conditions. As we calculated some values above is needed to choose a type and a size of bearing. dA=dB=20 [mm] A:480,4 [N] n = 1000 min-1 The bearing we are choosing is not going to work on high temperature or vibration. As it is showed there is no axial load. While we are choosing the bearing we should consider these conditions. Otherwise the prize can be too high than it is expected. In this case deep groove ball bearing is the most suitable one for our shaft.

Deep Groove Ball Bearings are the most popular of all the ball bearing types because they are available in a wide variety of seal, shield and snap-ring arrangements. The bearing ring grooves are circular arcs made slightly larger than the radius of the ball. The balls make point contact with the raceways (elliptical contact when loaded). The inner ring shoulders are of equal height (as the outer ring shoulders). Deep Groove ball bearings can sustain radial, axial, or composite loads and because of simple design, this bearing type can be produced to provide both high-running accuracy and high-speed operation. Consequently, they are available in many executions and sizes. (1)

Deep groove ball bearings are non-separable and require little attention or maintenance in service, capable of operating at high speeds and are widely used radial bearings. The inner and outer ring of single row deep groove ball bearings have a deep groove raceway, the bearings are mainly used to carry radial loads and a part of axial loads in two directions. This kind of bearing can 7

carry much heavy axial loads after the increase of radial clearance, thus, it can take the place of high speed angular contact ball bearings.(1)

Bearing Catalogue

(2) As it is showed on the table diameter 20mm the first bearing has been choosen which provides more load ratings and rotation speed than it is needed. Also the other bearings can be choosen or used for the gear but the prizes are getting higher.
