 Introduction:-
• A shaft is a rotating member/machine element,
which is used to transmit power from one place to
another.
• In order to transfer the power from one shaft to
another the various members such as pulleys, gears,
crank etc. are mounted on it. These members are
mounted on the shaft by means of keys or splines.
• A key is a machine element used on shafts to secure
the rotating elements like gears, pulleys or
sprockets and prevent the relative motion between
the two. It is always inserted parallel to the axis of
the shaft. Keys are used as temporary fastenings
and are subjected to considerable crushing and
shearing stresses.
Gear:-
 Gears are defined as toothed wheels or multilobed cams, which transmit power and
motion from one shaft to another by means of successive engagement of teeth.
 It is a positive drive and the velocity ratio remains constant.
 It can transmit very large power, which is beyond the range of belt or chain drives.
Why Use Gears?
• Gears are a very useful type of transmission mechanism used to transmit rotation
from one axis to another.
• As I mentioned previously, you can use gears to change the output speed of a shaft.
Say you have a motor that spins at 100 rotations per minute, and you only want it to
spin at 50 rotations per minute.
• You can use a system of gears to reduce the speed (and likewise increase the torque)
so that the output shaft spins at half the speed of the motor.
• Gears are commonly used in high load situations because, The teeth of a gear allow
for more fine, discrete control over movement of a shaft, which is one advantage
gears have over most pulley systems.
• Gears can be used to transmit rotation from one axis to another, and special types of
gears can allow for the transfer of motion to non-parallel axes.
Pulley:-
• A pulley is a device consisting of a wheel over
which a rope or chain is pulled in order to lift
heavy objects. The weights are moved via a cable
and pulley system.
• A pulley is used to transmits power from one
shaft (Driver Shaft) to another shaft (Driven
Shaft).
• Pulleys can be found everywhere to make tasks
easier.
• In addition to lifting things, pulleys can be used
singly or with many pulleys working together in
order to transport people or things.
• Pulleys mostly changes the direction of force to
make work easier.
Installation of pulley:-
1. The motor shaft should be polish to remove all burs.
2. Remove dirt which is present in the motor shaft keyway.
3. Remove any burs on the key with a flat file.
4. Test fit the key in the motor keyway.
5. Ream pulley collar to remove burs.
6. Clean motor shaft, pulley, and key with a solvent.
7. Without the key in the keyway, slide the pulley onto the shaft.
• Note 1: Pulley should slide on easily by applying only hand
pressure.
• Note 2: Do not use any lubricant on shaft.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 if pulley does not
fit.
9. Remove the pulley from the shaft

and insert the key into the keyway.

11. Gently slide the pulley onto the
motor shaft.
Note : The pulley should fit on the
shaft without any play.
12. Align the pulley to the proper
position and tighten the pulley set
screws.
Note: Pulley set screw should tighten
down on top
Application
of Gears:-
Application of Gears:-
• Power plants and Marine engines
• Fuel pumps
• Gear motors and gear pumps
• Rack and pinion mechanisms
• Material handling equipments and Metal cutting machines
• Automobile gear boxes and steering mechanism
• Steel mills and Rolling mills
• Hoisting machines
• Lifts and Conveyors
Application of Pulley:-
Application of Pulley:-
• Elevators – Used in lifting the cars where counterweight is
used to balance the weight of the car.
• Automobiles – Pulleys is used in vehicles to increase their
power and make them run more smoothly.
• Workshop – In lathe machines etc.
