SHAFT

Definition of the shaft

The shaft is a rotating stationary part, usually a round section where
elements such as gears, pulleys, flywheels, cranks, sprockets and
elementary elements such as gears, pulleys, flywheels, cranks, sprockets
and elements are installed. other transporter. other. Shafts The shaft can
accept bending loads, bending loads, pulling loads, pulling loads,
compressive loads or torsional loads that work independently or
individually or in the form of a combination of one another. (Josep yes.
(Josep Edward Edward Shigley, 1983) Shigley, 1983) The shaft in a
machine functions to transmit power through the engine rotation. The shaft
in a machine functions to transmit power through the engine rotation. Each

Types of shafts based on the load
 Transmission Shafts
The transmission shaft is better known as the shaft. The
shaft will experience repeated torsional loads, changing
bending loads or both. On the shaft, power can be transmitted
through gears, belt pulleys, chain sprockets, etc.
 Axle

The axle shaft is the axle that is installed between the wheels
of a freight train. The axle shafts do not accept torsional loads
and only receive bending loads. Spindle Shaft The spindle shaft
is a relatively short transmission shaft, for example on the main
shaft of a machine tool where the main load is torsional load. In
addition to the torsional load, the spindle shaft also accepts the
axial load. The spindle shaft can be used effectively if the
deformation that occurs on the shaft is small.
 To plan an axis, it is necessary to take into account the force
acting on the axis above, among others: the internal force due to
its weight (W) which includes the internal force due to its weight
(W) which is always centered on the point of gravity which is
always centered on the point of gravity. (F) is the external
directional force that can be parallel to the object's surface or Force
(F) is the external directional force that can be parallel to the
object's surface or form an angle α with the object's surface. The
force F can cause stress to form angle α with the surface of the
object. The force F can cause stress on the shaft, shaft, because
because of the stresses it can arise on objects that experience the
force. style. Force The force that arises on objects can be derived
from the internal force due to the weight of the object itself or or
the external force on the object. Both internal and external forces
will cause various effects on the object. Both internal and external
forces will cause various kinds of stresses in the construction.
These kinds of stresses in the construction
Things To Look For In Planning The Shaft
 Shaft Strength
The transmission shaft will receive twisting moment, bending
moment or a combination of torsional and bending loads. In
designing a shaft, it is necessary to consider several factors, for
example: fatigue, collision and the effect of stress concentration
when using a stepped shaft or the use of keyway on the shaft.
The designed shaft must be safe enough to withstand these loads.
 Shaft Stiffness
Even though a shaft has a sufficiently safe strength to withstand
loading, too large a deflection or deflection will result in
inaccuracy (on machine tools), machine vibrations (vibration)
and sound (noise). Therefore, in addition to paying attention to
the strength of the shaft, the stiffness of the shaft must also be
considered and adjusted to the type of engine to which power
will be transmitted to the shaft.

 Shaft Material

Shafts commonly used for high rotation and heavy

loads are generally made of alloy steel with a case
hardening process so that they are resistant to wear. Some
of them are nike chrome steel
