A set screw of 50mm diameter is pressed in a shaft, Calculate:

Question 1: A set screw of 50mm diameter is pressed in a shaft, Calculate:

1. The diameter (D) in mm

2. The tangential force in newton

3. The torque transmitted

4. The power transmitted when with speed of 1r.p.m

5. The power transmitted when the speed is 60r.p.m

Solution

Data given:

d = 50mm

D = ?

F = ?

T = ?

P = ?

From the equation

d = 0.125D+8mm

50 = 0.125D+8

50-8 = 0.125D

0.125D = 42

D = 42/0.125

D = 336mm
