1. Definition

A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used to transmit power from one place to another. The

power is delivered to the shaft by some tangential force and the resultant torque (or twisting moment)

setup within the shaft permits the power to be transferred to various machines linked up to the shaft.

2. Types of shafts

2.1 Axle – is a stationary member carrying rotating wheels, pulleys, etc.

2.2 Transmission shafts – transmit power between the source and the absorbing power.

2.3 Machine shafts – a shaft which is an integral part of the machine itself. The crank shaft is an example of

machine shaft.

2.4 LIneshaft, or mainshaft is one driven by a primemover.

2.5 Countershafts, jackshafts, or headshafts – are shafts intermediate between a line shaft and a driven

machine.

2.6 Spindles – are short shafts on machines.

3. Stresses in Shafts

3.1 Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (i.e. due to torsional load).

3.2 Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon machine elements like gears,

pulleys etc. as well as due to the weight of the shaft itself.

3.3 Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.

12. Shaft Design by Machinery’s Handbook

12.1 Torsional deflection

According to some authorities, the allowable twist in steel transmission shafting should not

exceed 0.08 degree per foot length of the shaft. The diameter D(in.) of a shaft that will permit a

maximum angular deflection of 0.08 degree per foot of length for a given torque T (in-lb) or for a

given horsepower P can be determined from the formulas:

4290 TD .=

464N

PD .=

Using metric SI units and assuming an allowable twist in steel transmission shafting of 0.26

degree per meter length,

4262 TD .=

47125N

PD .=

Another rule that has been generally used in mill practice limits the deflection to 1 degree in a

length equal to 20 times the shaft diameter. For a given torque or horsepower, the diameter of

a shaft having this maximum deflection is given by:

310 TD .=

304N

PD .=

12.2 For steel line shafting, it is considered good practice to limit the linear deflection to a maximum

of 0.010 inch per foot of length. The maximum distance in feet between bearings, for average

conditions, in order to avoid excessive linear deflection, is determined by the formulas:

3 2958 DL .= for shafting subject to no bending action except its own weight

3 225 DL .= for shafting subject to bending action of pulleys, etc.

in which D = diameter of shaft in inches and L = maximum distance between bearings in feet.

Pulleys should be placed as close to the bearings as possible.

C. KEYS - LECTURE

1

1. Definitions

Key - is a piece of mild steel inserted between the shaft and hub of the pulley to connect these together in

order to prevent relative motion between them. It is always inserted parallel to the axis of the shaft.

Keyway - is a slot or recess in a shaft and hub of the pulley to accommodate a key.

2. Types of Keys

Flat key – is rectangular in section with the smaller dimension placed in a radial direction and they may or

may not be tapered.

Square key – is square in section and may or may not be tapered.

Round key – is circular in section and fit into holes drilled partly in the shaft and partly in the hub.

Barth key – is a square key with bottom two corners bevelled.

Gib-head key - is a square or flat and tapered key with a head at one end known as gib head. It is usually

provided to facilitate the removal of key.

Saddle key – is tapered and are either hollow with a radius of curvature slightly smaller than the shaft radius,

or flat in which case they are assembled on a flat on the shaft. It is used without keyway on the shaft.

Flat saddle key – is a taper key which fits in a keyway in the hub and is flat on the shaft.

C. KEYS - LECTURE

2

Hollow saddle key – is a taper key which fits in a keyway in the hub and the bottom of the key is shaped to

fit the curved surface of the shaft.

Woodruff key – is a key which fits into a semi-cylindrical seat on the shaft.

Feather key – is a key that allows the hub to move along the shaft but prevents rotation on the shaft.

Kennedy key – is a tapered square key, with or without gib heads, assembled with the diagonal dimension

virtually in a circumferential direction. It is also called tangential key.

C. KEYS - LECTURE

3

Rollpin – is a key driven or pressed into a hole that is small enough to close the slit, assembled in radial

direction.

Splines – is a key made integral with the shaft which fits in the keyways broached in the hub.

D. COUPLINGS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition

Shaft couplings are used in machinery for several purposes, the most common of which are the following:

a. To provide for the connection of shafts of units that are manufactured separately such as a motor and

generator and to provide for disconnection for repairs or alternations.

b. To provide for misalignment of the shafts or to introduce mechanical flexibility.

c. To reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another.

d. To introduce protection against overloads.

e. To alter the vibration characteristics of rotating units.

Note : A coupling is termed as a device used to make permanent or semi-permanent connection where as a

clutch permits rapid connection or disconnection at the will of the operator.

2. Types of Shaft Couplings

2.1 Rigid Couplings

Rigid coupling – is used to connect two shafts which are perfectly aligned.

2.1.1 Flange coupling - usually applies to a coupling having two separate cast iron flanges. Each flange

is mounted on the shaft end and keyed to it. The faces are turned up at right angle to the axis of

the shaft. One of the flange has a projected portion and the other flange has a corresponding

recess.

2.1.2 Compression coupling utilizes two split cones which are drawn together by the bolts in order to

produce a wedging action which tightens the parts of the coupling and the shafts.

2.2 Flexible Couplings

Flexible coupling – is used to connect two shafts having both lateral and angular misalignment.

2.2.1 Oldham coupling

Oldham coupling – is used to join two shafts which have lateral mis-alignment.


2

2.2.2 Universal (or Hooke’s) Coupling

Universal or Hooke’s coupling – is used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect at a small

angle. The inclination of the two shafts may be constant, but in actual practice, it varies when

the motion is transmitted from one shaft to another.

2.2.3 Other flexible couplings

Chain coupling, flexible disk coupling, gear type coupling, etc.

E. FLYWHEELS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition of Flywheel

A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir which stores energy during the period when the

supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of

energy is more than supply.

A flywheel is a rotating member that acts as a storage reservoir for energy when work is not

“consumed” at as fast a rate as the power is supplied.

1. Screw Fastenings

Screw fastening – is composed by a bolt and nut.

Screw thread - is formed by cutting a continuous helical groove on a cylindrical surface.

2. Definitions

Major diameter – is the largest diameter of an external or internal screw thread. The screw is specified by this

diameter. It is also known as outside or nominal diameter.

Minor diameter – is the smallest diameter of an external or internal screw thread. It is known as core or root

diameter.

Pitch diameter – is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder, on a cylindrical screw thread, the surface of which would

pass through the thread at such points as to make equal the width thread and the width of the spaces between the

threads. It is also called an effective diameter. It is the mean diameter of major and minor diameters.

Pitch – is the distance from a point on one thread to the corresponding point on the next. This is measured in an

axial direction between corresponding points in the same axial plane.

screwoflengthunitperthreadsofNoPitch

.

1=

Lead – is the distance between two corresponding points on the same helix. It may also be defined as the distance

which a screw thread advances axially in one rotation of the nut. Lead is equal to the pitch in case of single start

thread, it is twice the pitch in double start, thrice the pitch in triple start and so on.

Crest – is the top surface of the thread.

Root – is the bottom surface created by the two adjacent flanks of the thread.

Depth of thread – is the perpendicular distance between the crest and root.

Flank – it the surface joining the crest and root.

Angle of thread – is the angle included by the flanks of the thread.

Slope – it is half the pitch of the thread.

Axial pitch or pitch – is the distance, measured axially, from a point on on ethread to the corresponding point on an

adjacent thread.

Lead – is the distance that a thread advances in one turn; it is the distance the nut moves along the axis in one turn.

Lead angle – is the angle between a tangent to the pitch helix and a plane normal to the axis of the screw.

H. SPRING - LECTURE

1

1. Definition

SPRING – is defined as an elastic body, whose function is to distort when loaded and to recover its original shape

when the load is removed.

2. Application:

2.1 To cushion, absorb or control energy due to either shock or vibration as in car springs, railway buffers, air-craft

landing gears, shock absorbers and vibration dampers.

2.2 To apply forces, as in brakes, clutches and spring-loaded valves.

2.3 To control motion by maintaining contact between two elements as in cams and followers.

2.4 To measure forces, as in spring balances and engine indicators.

2.5 To store energy, as in watches, toys, etc.

3. Types of Springs (According to shapes)

3.1 Helical springs – are made up of a wire coiled in the form of a helix and is primarily intended for compressive or

tensile loads. The cross-section of the wire from which the spring is made may be circular, square or rectangular.

Forms of helical springs.

3.1.1 Compression helical spring

3.1.2 Tension helical spring

Closely coiled – when the spring is coiled so close that the plane containing each turn is nearly at right angles to

the axis of the helix and the wire is subjected to torsion. Helix angle is usually less than 10 degrees.

Open coiled – is coiled in such a way that there is a gap between the two consecutive turns, as a result of which

the helix angle is large.

3.2 Conical and volute springs – are used in special applications where a telescoping spring or a spring with a spring

rate that increases with the load is desired. The conical spring is wound with a uniform pitch whereas the volute

springs are wound in the form of paraboloid with constant pitch and lead angles.

H. SPRING - LECTURE

2

3.3 Torsional springs – are springs that may be of helical or spiral type.

Helical type – may be used only in applications where the load tends to wing up the spring and are used in

various electrical mechanisms.

Spiral type – is used where the load tends to increase the number of coils and when made of flat strip are used

in watches and clocks.

3.4 Laminated or leaf springs (flat spring or carriage spring) – consist of a number of flat plates (known as leaves) of

varying lengths held together by means of clamps and bolts.

H. SPRING - LECTURE

3

3.5 Disc or Belleville springs – consist of a number of conical discs held together against slipping by a central bolt or

tube. These springs are used in applications where high spring rates and compact spring units are required.

3.6 Special purpose springs – these springs are air or liquid springs, rubber springs, ring springs etc.

4. Material for Helical Springs

The springs are mostly made from oil-tempered carbon steel wires containing 0.60 to 0.70 per cent carbon and 0.60

to 1.0 per cent manganese. Music wire is used for small springs. Non-ferrous materials like phosphor bronze,

beryllium copper, monel metal, brass etc., may be used in special cases to increase fatigue resistance and corrosion

resistance.

The helical springs are either cold formed or hot formed depending upon the size of the wire. Wires of small sizes

(less than 10 mm diameter) are usually wound cold whereas larger size wires are wound hot. The strength of the

wires varies with size, smaller size wires have greater strength and less ductility, due to the greater degree of cold

working.

Severe service – means rapid continuous loading where the rate of minimum to maximum load (or stress) is one-half

or less, as in automotive valve springs.

Average service – includes the same stress range as in severe service but with only intermittent operation, as in

engine governor springs and automobile suspension springs.

Light service – includes springs subjected to loads that are static or very infrequently varied, as in safety valve

springs.

5. Terms use in Compression Springs

5.1 Solid length – is the product of total number of coils and the diameter of the wire.

5.2 Free length – is the length of the spring in the free or unloaded condition. It is equal to the solid length plus the

maximum deflection or compression of the spring and the clearance between the adjacent coils (when fully

compressed).

H. SPRING - LECTURE

4

5.3 Spring index – is defined as the ratio of the mean diameter of the coil to the diameter of the wire.

Spring index, dDC =

Where D = Mean diameter of the coil, and

d = Diameter of the wire.

5.4 Spring rate (stiffness or spring constant or spring scale) – is defined as the load required per unit deflection of

the spring.

Spring rate, δFk =

Where F = Load,and

δ = Deflection of the spring.

5.5 Pitch – is defined as the axial distance between adjacent coils in uncompressed state.

6. End Connections for Compression Helical Springs

Inactive coils – part of the coil which is in contact with the seat and does not contribute to spring action.

Active turns – turns which impart spring action.

1. Definition

The belts are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of pulleys which rotate at the same speed

or at different speeds.

2. Types of Belts

2.1 Flat belt - is mostly used in the factories and workshops, where a moderate amount of power is to be

transmitted, from one pulley to another when the two pulleys are not more than 8 metres apart.

2.2 V- belt - is mostly used in the factories and workshops, where a great amount of power is to be transmitted,

from one pulley to another, when the two pulleys are very near to each other.

2.3 Circular belt or rope - is mostly used in the factories and workshops, where a great amount of power is to be

transmitted, from one pulley to another, when the two pulleys are more than 8 metres apart.

3. Material used for Belts

3.1 Leather

Oak-tanned leather is a standard material for flat belts. Chrome leather may be used where a very pliable

material is desired.

3.2 Cotton or fabric belts.

Most of the fabric belts are made by folding canvass or cotton duck to three or more layers (depending upon the

thickness desired) and stitching together.

3.2 Rubber belts.

Rubber belts are made in layers (say 3 to 12), called plies, of canvas duck impregnated with rubber which is later

vulcanized.

3.3 V-belts.

V-belts are made of fabric and cords molded in rubber and are generally covered with fabric.

7. Strength of Leather belts

For normal goof operating conditions and pulley sizes larger than the minimum, a design stress of

ησ 400=d

Where η is the relative strength of joint.

η = 1.0 when joined by cementing; 0.88 by wire lacing; 0.35 by metal hook.

8. Belt speed.

Experience suggest that the most economical designs are obtained for a belt speed of 4000 to 4500 fpm, but of

course, any particular application may require some other speed.

J. CHAINS - LECTURE

1

1. General

The chains are made up of number of rigid links which are hinged together by pin joints in order to provide the

necessary flexibility for wrapping round the driving and driven wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth of special

profile and fit into the corresponding recesses in the links of the chain as shown in Figure 1. The toothed wheels are

known as sprocket wheels or simply sprockets. The sprockets and the chain are thus constrained to move together

without slipping and ensures perfect velocity ratio.

These chains are used for transmission of power, when the distance between the centers of shafts is short.

These chains have provision for efficient lubrication.

2. Types of Power Transmission Chains

2.1 Block or bush chain.

This type of chain was used in the early stages of development in the power transmission.

2.2 Bush roller chain.

This consists of outer plates or pin link plates, inner plates or roller link plates, pins, bushes and rollers. A pin

passes through the bush which is secured in the holes of the roller between the two sides of the chain. The

rollers are free to rotate on the bush which protects the sprocket wheel teeth against wear. The pins, bushes

and rollers are made of alloy steel.

J. CHAINS - LECTURE

2

2.3 Silent chain.

A silent chain (also known as inverted tooth chain) is designed to eliminate the evil effects caused by stretching

and to produce noiseless running. When the chain stretches and the pitch of the chain increases, the links ride

on the teeth of the sprocket wheel at a slightly increased radius. This automatically corrects the small change in

the pitch..

J. CHAINS - LECTURE

3. Terms and Definition

3.1 Pitch of chain (P)

It is the distance between the hinge centre of a link and the corresponding hinge centre of the adjacent link.

3.2 Pitch circle diameter of chain sprocket (D).

It is the diameter of the circle on which the hinge centers of the chain lie, when the chain is wrapped round a

sprocket.

5. Tabulated Horsepower Ratings for Roller Chain Drives

Refer to PSME Code 2008,, Table 3.11, page 27 and other references.

6. Types of Lubrication.

Type I – manual lubrication – oil is applied periodically with a brush or spout can, preferably at least once every 8

hours of operation, (vmax = 300 fpm).

Type II – drip lubrication – oil drops are directed between the link plate edges from a drip lubricator, (vmax = 1300

fpm).

Type III – bath or disc lubrication – with bath lubrication the lower strand of chain runs through a sump of oil in the

drive housing. The oil level should reach the pitch line of the chain at its lowest point while operating. With disc

lubrication, the chain operates above the oil level. The disc picks up oil from the sump and deposits it onto the chain,

usually by means of trough. (vmax = 2300 fpm).

Type IV – oil stream lubrication – the lubricant is usually supplied by a circulating pump capable of supplying each

chain drive with a continuous stream of oil.

this condition is inevitably met when mw < 3. An average good center distance would be D2 + D1/2, where D2 is the

pitch diameter of the larger sprocket, D1 of the smaller. The approximate length of chain is

K. WIRE ROPES - LECTURE

1. Definitions.

1.1 Wire Ropes – are made from cold-drawn wires that are first wrapped into strands; the strands are then

wrapped into helices about a core or central elements, which is usually hemp or pulp.

1.2 Regular Lay – in which the wires and strands are twisted in opposite directions.

1.3 Lang Lay – in which the wires and strands are twisted in the same direction.

1.4 Non-preformed – the wires and strands are bent into place, resulting in high stresses in straight, unloaded rope.

1.5 Preformed – the individual strands having been mechanically shaped ahead of time into the helical configuration

they have in the rope.

2. Construction of wire ropes.

The construction is indicated by two numbers, the first giving the number of strands, the second the number of

wires in each strands.

Example: 6 x 19 wire rope has 6 strands each with 19 wires.

2.1 6 x7 – being made of heavy wire, provides maximum resistance to abrasion and wear. Used for haulages, rigging,

guard rails.

2.2 6 x 19 – being a compromise of flexibility and wear resistance, is one of the most popular types. Uses, including

all various cross sections: scraper and shovel cables, draglines, logging ropes, haulage, hoists.

2.3 6 x 37 – is an extra-flexible rope and therefore useful where abrasion is not severe and where relatively sharp

bends must be tolerated. Used for winch lines, hawsers, overhead cranes, and hoists.

3. Wire rope materials.

3.1 Mild plow steel (IPS) – which has an ultimate strength of between 180 and 210 ksi, the higher values applying to

the smaller wires

3.2 Plow steel (PS) – which has an ultimate strength of between 210 and 280 ksi, the higher values applying to the

smaller wires

3.3 Improved plow steel (IPS) – which has an ultimate strength of between 240 and 280 ksi, the higher values

applying to the smaller wires.

3.4 Traction – which has an ultimate strength of between 180 and 190 ksi, the higher values applying to the smaller

wires

3.5 Iron, with lower carbon (about 0.1%) content (σu < 100 ksi).

3.6 Very-high-strength (VHS) – which has an ultimate strength of between 280 and 340 ksi, for premium jobs, about

15% stronger in rope form than IPS.

3.7 Others such as galvanized wire ropes in various steel grades of steel, phosphor bronze, stainless steel.

L. SPUR GEARS - LECTURE

1

1. Gears

Gears – are machine elements that transmit motion by means of successively engaging teeth. The gear drive is

therefore positive, which gives it an advantage in motion-transmission performance over friction drives such as

friction wheels and belts.

2. Definitions

Spur gears – are toothed wheels whose tooth elements are straight and parallel to the shaft axis; they are used to

transmit motion and power between parallel shafts.

Pitch circle - It is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action, would give the same motion as the actual gear.

Pitch circle diameter - It is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle

diameter. It is also called as pitch diameter.

Pitch point – It is the point of tangency of the pitch circles.

Pitch surface – It is the surface of the rolling discs which the meshing gears have replaced at the pitch circle.

Addendum – It is the radial distance between the pitch circle and the addendum circle.

Addendum circle – It is the circle that bounds at the outer ends of the teeth. It is also called outside circle.

Outside diameter – is the diameter of addendum circle.

Dedendum circle – It is the circle that bounds the bottoms of the teeth. It is also called root circle.

Whole depth (Total depth) – It is the radial distance between the addendum and the dedendum circle of a gear. It

is equal to the sum of the addendum and dedendum.

Working depth – It is radial distance from the addendum circle to the clearance circle. It is equal to the sum of the

addendum of the two meshing gears.

Angle of approach – is the angle through which the gear turns from the time a particular pair of teeth come in to

come into contact until they are in contact at the pitch point.

Angle of recess – is the angle through which the gear turns from the time a given pair of teeth are in contact at the

pitch point until they pass out of mesh.

N. BEVEL GEARS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.

Bevel Gears – are used to connect intersecting shafts, usually but not necessarily at 90o.

2. Terms used in Bevel Gears

Pitch cone – It is a cone containing the pitch elements of the teeth.

Cone center – It is the apex of the pitch cone. It may be defined as that point where the axes of two mating gears

intersect each other.

Pitch angle – It is the angle made by the pitch line with the axis of the shaft.

Cone distance – It is the length of the pitch cone element. It is also called as a pitch cone radius.

Addendum angle – It is the angle subtended by the addendum of the tooth at the cone centre.

Dedendum angle – It is the angle subtended by the dedendum of the tooth at the cone centre.

Face angle – It is the angle subtended by the face of the tooth at the cone center. The face angle is equal to the pitch

angle plus addendum angle.

Root angle – It is the angle subtended by the root of the tooth at the cone center. It is equal to the pitch angle minus

dedendum angle.

Back (or normal) cone – It is an imaginary cone, perpendicular to the pitch cone at the end of the tooth.


2

Back cone distance – It is the length of the back cone. It is also called back cone radius.

Backing – It is the distance of the pitch point from the back of the boss, parallel to the pitch point of the gear.

Crown height – It is the distance of the crown point from the cone centre, parallel to the axis of the gear.

Mounting height – It is the distance of the back of the boss from the cone centre.

Pitch diameter – It is the diameter of the largest pitch circle.

Outside or addendum cone diameter – It is the maximum diameter of the teeth of the gear. It is equal to the

diameter of the blank from which the gear can be cut.

3. Types of Bevel Gears

Straight bevel gears – are whose tooth profiles consist of straight elements that converge to a point at the cone

center.

Spiral bevel gears – are those having curved oblique teeth on which contact begins gradually and continues

smoothly from end to end.

Zerol bevel gears – whose teeth are curved but lie in the same direction as the teeth of straight bevel gears.

Hypoid gears – resembles spiral bevel gears except that the shaft axes are offset, not intersecting. Instead of pitch

cone, the pitch surface is a hyperboloid.

Miter gears – are pair of bevel gears of the same size that are on shafts intersecting at right angles. They are equal in

pitch angle.

Angular gears – are bevel gears mounted on intersecting shafts at angles of other than 90o.

Crown gear s – are bevel gears in which the pitch angle is 90o; that is the pitch cone has become a plane.

4. Proportions for Bevel Gear

The proportions for the bevel gears of gear ratio of 1 may be taken as follows:

Addendum, a = 1/Pd

Dedendum, d = 1.2/Pd

Clearance = 0.2/Pd

Working depth = 2/Pd

Thickness of tooth = 1.5708/Pd

O. WORM GEARS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.

Worm gears – are widely used for transmitting power at high velocity ratios between non-intersecting shafts that

are generally, but not necessarily, at right angles.

2. Terms used in Worm Gearing

Axial pitch – It is also known as linear pitch of a worm. It is the distance measured axially (i.e. parallel to the axis of

worm) from a point on one thread to the corresponding point on the adjacent thread on the worm.

Lead – It is the linear distance through which a point on a thread moves ahead in one revolution of the worm. For

single start threads, lead is equal to the axial pitch, but for multiple start threads, lead is equal to the product of axial

pitch and number of starts.

Lead angle – It is the angle between the tangent to the thread helix on the pitch cylinder and the plane normal to

the axis of the worm.

Tooth pressure angle – It is measured in a plane containing the axis of the worm and is equal to one-half the thread

profile angle.

Normal pitch – It is the distance measured along the normal to the threads between two corresponding points on

two adjacent threads of the worm.

Helix angle – It is the angle between the tangent to the thread helix on the pitch cylinder and the axis of the worm.

Velocity ratio – It is the ratio of the speed of worm in r.p.m. to the speed of the worm gear in r.p.m.

P. BRAKES - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.

Brakes – are friction devices used to regulate the motion of bodies (slowing them down, holding their speed

constant, holding them at rest, etc.

Single block or shoe brake – consists of a block or shoe which is pressed against the rim of a revolving brake wheel

drum.

Double Block or Shoe Brake – consists of two brake blocks applied at the opposite ends of a diameter of the wheel

which eliminate or reduces the unbalanced force on the shaft.

Band brake – consists of a flexible band of leather, one or more ropes, or a steel lined with friction material, which

embraces a part of the circumference of the drum.

Simple band brake – in which one end of the band is attached to a fixed pin or fulcrum of the lever while the other

end is attached to the lever at a distance from the fulcrum.

Differential band brake – in which the tension in the band assists in applying the brake.

2. Types of Brakes

The brakes, according to the means used for transforming the energy by the braking element, are classified as :

1. Hydraulic brakes e.g. pumps or hydrodynamic brake and fluid agitator,

2. Electric brakes e.g. generators and eddy current brakes, and

3. Mechanical brakes.

The mechanical brakes, according to the direction of acting force, may be divided into the following two groups :

a. Radial brakes. In these brakes, the force acting on the brake drum is in radial direction. The radial brakes

may be sub-divided into external brakes and internal brakes. According to the shape of the friction element,

these brakes may be block or shoe brakes and band brakes.

b. Axial brakes. In these brakes, the force acting on the brake drum is in axial direction. The axial brakes may

be disc brakes and cone brakes. The analysis of these brakes is similar to clutches.

1. Definition.

Clutch – is a machine member used to connect a driving shaft to a driven shaft so that the driven shaft may be

started or stopped at will, without stopping the driving shaft.

Clutch – is a friction devices used to connect shafts (speeding up the driven bodies to the same angular velocity as

the driving shaft).

2. Types of clutches

2.1 Positive clutches – are used when a positive drive is required.

Jaw clutch – permits one shaft to drive another through a direct contact of interlocking jaws. It consists of two

halves, one of which is permanently fastened to driving shaft by a sunk key. The other half of the clutch is

movable and it is free to slide axially on the driven shaft, but it is prevented from turning relatively to its shaft by

means of feather key.

2.2 Friction clutches – has its principal application in the transmission of power of shafts and machines which must

be started and stopped frequently.

3. Types of Friction Clutches

3.1 Disc or plate clutches (single disc or multiple disc clutch),

Single disc or plate clutch – consists of a clutch plate whose both sides are faced with a frictional material.

Multiple disc clutch - may be used when a large torque is to be transmitted.

3.2 Cone clutches,

Cone clutches – consists of one pair of friction surface only. In a cone clutch, the driver is keyed to the driving

shaft by a sunk key and has an inside conical surface or face which exactly fits into the outside conical surface of

the driven.

3.3 Centrifugal clutches.

Centrifugal clutches – are usually incorporated into the motor pulleys. It consists of a number of shoes on the

inside of a rim of the pulley.

R. BEARINGS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.

Bearing – a machine element which support another moving machine element. It permits a relative motion between

the contact surfaces of the members, while carrying the load.

2. Classification of Bearings

2.1 Depending upon the direction of load to be supported

2.1.1 Radial bearings – where the load acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the moving element.

2.1.2 Thrust bearings - where the load acts along the axis of rotation.

2.2 Depending upon the nature of contact.

2.2.1 Sliding contact bearings – where the sliding takes place along the surfaces of contact between the

moving element and the fixed element.

2.2.2 Rolling contact bearings – where the steel balls or rollers are interposed between the moving and fixed

elements. The balls offer rolling friction at two points for each ball or roller.

3. Common Types of Sliding Contact Bearings

3.1 Journal, or sleeve, bearing.

Journal bearings – are used to furnish lateral support to rotating shafts. The journal is the part of the shaft that

runs in the bushing or sleeve.

3.2 Full journal bearing.

Full journal bearing –where the angle of contact of the bushing with the journal is 360o.

3.3 Partial journal bearing

Partial journal bearing – where the angle of contact of bushing the journal is 180o or less, 120

o being a common

value.

3.4 Clearance bearing

Clearance – refers to the thickness of the space allowed for the lubricant that separates the parts having relative

motion.

Clearance bearing – is one which the radius of the journal is less than the radius of the bushing.

3.5 Fitted bearing

Fitted bearing – is one in which the radius of the journal and bushing are equal.

3.6 Thrust bearing

Thrust bearing – a bearing designed to support an axial load.

3.6.1 Step bearing – in which the end of the shaft is in contact with a bearing surface.

3.6.2 Collar bearing – in which a collar is attached to or formed integral with the shaft.

3.6.3 Pivoted-segment bearing – was developed in order to provide a converging film in a thrust bearing.

4. Properties of Lubricants

4.1 Viscosity - is the measure of degree of fluidity of a liquid. It is a physical property by virtue of which an oil is able

to form, retain and offer resistance to shearing a buffer film-under heat and pressure.

The viscosity of the lubricant is measured by Saybolt universal viscometer. It determines the time required for a

standard volume of oil at a certain temperature to flow under a certain head through a tube of standard

diameter and length. The time so determined in seconds is the Saybolt universal viscosity. In order to convert

Saybolt universal viscosity in seconds to absolute viscosity (centipoise), the following formula may be used:


2

−=

SSSGZ

180220.

Where

Z = is the absolute viscosity at temperature t, centipoises

S = Saybolt Universal viscosity, sec

SG = specific gravity at temperature t

Viscosity conversion:

6.9 x 106 centipoises = 1 reyn = 1 lb-sec/in

2.

4.2 Specific gravity (SG) – this property has no relation to lubricating value but is useful in changing the kinematic

viscosity to absolute viscosity. Mathematically

Absolute viscosity in centipoises = SG x kinematic viscosity in centistokes

( )6000035060

−−= tSGSGt .

Where:

SGt = specific gravity at temperature t

SG60 = specific gravity at temperature 60 F

t = temperature of oil

4.3 Viscosity index – is used to denote the degree of variation of viscosity with temperature.

4.4 Flash point – is the lowest temperature at which an oil gives off sufficient vapor to support a momentary flash

without actually setting fire to the oil when a flame is brought within 6 mm at the surface of the oil.

4.5 Fire point – is the temperature at which an oil gives off sufficient vapor to burn it continuously when ignited.

4.6 Pour point or freezing point – is the temperature at which oil will cease to flow when cooled.

5. Terms used in Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing

8. Types of Rolling Contact Bearings

1. Ball Bearing

2. Roller Bearing

The ball and roller bearings consist of an inner race which is mounted on the shaft or journal and an outer race

which is carried by the housing or casing.

9. Types of Radial Ball Bearings

Following are the various types of radial ball bearings:

1. Deep-groove ball bearing – is one in which the balls are assembled by the eccentric displacement of the inner

ring.

2. Filling-slot type ball bearing – has slots or notches that permit the assembly of more balls, giving a bearing of

larger radial load capacity.

3. Self-aligning ball bearing – compensate for angular misalignment that arise from shaft or foundation deflection

or errors in mounting.

4. Angular-contact bearings – where the line through the areas carrying the load makes an angle with the plane of

the face of the bearing.

5. Double-row ball bearings – are similar to single-row ball bearings, except that each rings has two grooves.

6. Cylindrical roller bearings – where the contact is a line instead of a point as in ball bearings, which results in a

greater area carrying the load and hence, for a particular size, in a larger radial capacity.

7. Self-aligning roller bearings – with spherical rollers running in a double-grooved inner ring, have curved outer

rings that look like the outer ring of a self-aligning ball bearing.

8. Needle bearings – cylindrical bearings made with relatively long bearings.

S. RIVETED JOINTS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition

A rivet is a short cylindrical bar with a head integral to it. The cylindrical portion of the rivet is called shank or body

and lower portion of shank is known as tail. The rivets are used to make permanent fastening between the plates

such as in structural work, ship building, bridges, tanks and boiler shells. The riveted joints are widely used for

joining light metals.

2. Types of Riveted Joints, depending upon the way in which the plates are connected.

2.1 Lap Joint - is that in which one plate overlaps the other and the two plates are then riveted together.

2.2 Butt joint - is that in which the main plates are kept in alignment butting (i.e. touching) each other and a cover

plate (i.e. strap) is placed either on one side or on both sides of the main plates. The cover plate is then riveted

together with the main plates.

2.2.1 Single strap butt joint - the edges of the main plates butt against each other and only one cover plate is

placed on one side of the main plates and then riveted together.

2.2.2 Double strap butt joint, the edges of the main plates butt against each other and two cover plates are

placed on both sides of the main plates and then riveted together.

3. Types of riveted , joints depending upon the number of rows of the rivets.

3.1 Single riveted joint is that in which there is a single row of rivets in a lap joint and there is a single row of rivets

on each side in a butt joint.

3.2 Double riveted joint is that in which there are two rows of rivets in a lap joint and there are two rows of rivets on

each side in a butt joint.


2

4. Chain and Zigzag Riveted

4.1 Chain riveted - when the rivets in the various rows are opposite to each other.

4.2 Zig-zag riveted – when the rivets in the adjacent rows are staggered in such a way that every rivet is in the

middle of the two rivets of the opposite row .

5. Important Terms Used in Riveted Joints

5.1 Pitch – is the distance from the centre of one rivet to the centre of the next rivet measured parallel to the seam,

p.

5.2 Back pitch – is the perpendicular distance between the centre lines of the successive rows , pb.

5.3 Diagonal pitch- is the distance between the centres of the rivets in adjacent rows of zig-zag riveted joint, pd.

5.4 Margin or marginal pitch – is the distance between the centre of rivet hole to the nearest edge of the plate, m.

T. WELDED JOINTS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.

Welded joint – is a permanent joint which is obtained by the fusion of the edges of the two parts to be joined

together, with or without the application of pressure and a filler material.

Welding – is extensively used in fabrication as an alternative method for casting or forging and as a replacement for

bolted and riveted joints. It is also used as a repair medium e.g. to reunite metal at a crack, to build up a small part

that has broken off such as gear tooth or to repair a worn surface such as a bearing surface.

2. Welding Processes

2.1 Fusion Welding – where the parts to be jointed are held in position while the molten metal is supplied to the

joint. The molten metal may come from the parts themselves (i.e. parent metal) or filler metals which normally

have the composition of the parent metal. The joint surface become plastic or even molten because of the heat

from the molten filler metal or other source. Thus, when the molten metal solidifies or fuses, the joint is formed.

2.1.1 Thermit Welding – where a mixture of iron oxide and aluminium called thermit is ignited and the iron

oxide is reduced to molten iron. The molten iron is poured into a mould made around the joint and fuses

with the parts to be welded.

2.1.2 Gas Welding – is made by applying the flame of an oxy-acetylene or hydrogen gas from a welding torch

upon the surfaces of the prepared joint. The intense heat at the white cone of the flame heats up the

local surfaces to fusion point while the operator manipulates a welding rod to supply the metal for the

weld. A flux is being used to remove the slag.

2.1.3 Electric Arc Welding – where the work is prepared in the same manner as for gas welding. In this case

the filler metal is supplied by metal welding electrode. The operator, with his eyes and face protected,

strikes an arc by touching the work of base metal with the electrode. The base metal in the path of the

arc stream is melted, forming a pool of molten metal, which seems to be forced out of the pool by the

blast from the arc. A small depression is formed in the base metal and the molten metal is deposited

around the edge of this depression, which is called the arc crater. The slag is brushed off after the joint

has cooled.

2.1.3.1 Un-shielded arc welding - When a large electrode or filler rod is used for welding.

2.1.3.2 Shielded arc welding – the welding rods coated with solid material are used.

2.2 Forge Welding - the parts to be jointed are first heated to a proper temperature in a furnace or forge and then

hammered. This method of welding is rarely used now-a-days. An electric-resistance welding is an example of

forge welding.

3. Types of Welded Joints

3.1 Lap Joint

Lap joint or the fillet joint – is obtained by overlapping the plates and then welding the edges of the plates. The

cross-section of the fillet is approximately triangular.

8. Other Types of Welds

Corner joint – may have weld metal placed on either the inside, outside, or both.

Edge joint – is made along the edges of two or more parallel, or nearly parallel, plates.

Plug weld – is obtained when the holes are filled or partially filled by weld metal fusing with the second plate.

Spot weld – are resistance welds, usually round, in the same form as the electrodes that press the sheets together;

used on thin material only.

Intermittent weld – consists of short lengths of welds with space between.

Tack weld – is an intermittent weld, lightly done to hold members in position for assembly purposes or for the

principal welding.

9. Other Definitions.

9.1 Arc Welding – is done either with a carbon electrode on steel (tungsten electrode on non-ferrous) or with a

metal electrode.

9.2 Submerged arc welding – where the arc is covered with a welding composition, and bare electrode wire is fed

automatically.

9.3 Atomic-hydrogen process – where the energy form the arc is used to break the hydrogen molecules into atoms

rather than to melt the metal.

9.4 Fusion welds – because the metals are joined by fusion.

9.5 Resistance welding – depends upon the resistance to the flow of electricity at the points to be joined.

9.6 Spot welding – where two electrodes press the sheets of metal together, and at the spot where the pressure is

exerted, the resistance to the flow of current causes a heating which, together with the pressure results in a

weld.

9.7 Seam welding – a resistance welding process where two copper rollers are used as electrodes and if two sheets

of metal are passed between the rollers, a seam is welded where the rollers press the sheets together.


5

9.8 Gas welding – where a hot flame and a metal rod are used. The oxyacetylene process uses acetylene burned in

oxygen.

10. Code number of steel electrodes

The steel electrodes have code numbers (by ASTM and AWS) such as E 6010, where the first two (or three) digits

(60) indicate a minimum tensile strength (ksi) and the last two digits in effect specify other variables such as coating,

current supply, position of the weld, etc.

U. ENGINEERING MATERIALS - LECTURE

1.1.1 Ferrous metals – are based on iron; the group includes steel and cast iron.

1.1.2 Steel – can be defined as an iron-carbon alloy containing 0.02% - 2.11% carbon. Its composition often

includes other alloying elements as well, such as manganese, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, to

enhance the properties of the metal.

1.1.3 Cast-iron – is a n alloy of iron and carbon (2% - 4%) used in casting (primarily sand casting). Silicon is also

present in the alloy (in amounts from 0.5% to 3%), and other elements are often added also, to obtain

desirable properties in the cast part.

2. Nonferrous metals – include the other metallic elements and their alloys. The nonferrous metals include the

pure metals and alloys of aluminum, copper, gold, magnesium, nickel, silver, tin, titanium, zinc, and other

alumina, tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and boron nitride.

4. Polymer – is a compound formed of repeating structural units called mers, whose atoms share electrons to form

very large molecule. Polymers usually consist of carbon plus one or more other elements such as hydrogen,

nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine.

Three categories of Polymers.

4.3 Elastomers – are polymers that exhibit significant elastic behavior. They include natural rubber, neoprene,

silicone, and polyurethane.

5. Composites – is a material consisting of two or more phases that are processed separately and then bonded

together to achieve properties superior to those of its constituents.

2. Definitions.

Age hardening or precipitation hardening – occurs in some metals, notable certain stainless steel, aluminum, and

copper alloys, at ambient temperature after solution heat treatment, the process being one of a constituent

precipitating from a solid solution.

Alloy – is a substance with metallic properties, composed of two or more elements of which at least one is a metal.

Alloying elements in steel – are usually considered to be the metallic elements added for the purpose of modifying

the properties.

Izod test – is a test in which a specimen, supported at one end as a cantilever beam, is broken by the impact of a

falling pendulum.

Killed steel – is steel that has been deoxidized with a strong deoxidizing agent, such as silicon or aluminum, in order

to eliminate a reaction between the carbon and oxygen during solidification.

Machinability – is a material’s susceptibility to extreme deformation in rolling or hammering.

Mechanical properties – are those that have to do with stress and strain.

Percentage elongation – is the extension in the vicinity of the fracture of a tensile specimen, expressed as a

percentage of the original gage length, as 20% in 2 in.

Percentage reduction of area – is the smallest area at the point of rupture of a tensile specimen divided by the

original area.

Physical properties – exclude mechanical properties and are other physical properties such as density, conductivity,

coefficient of thermal expansion.


3

Plasticity – is the ability of a metal to be deformed considerably without rupture.

Poisson’s ratio – is the ratio of the lateral strain (contraction) to the longitudinal strain (extension) when the element

is loaded with a longitudinal tensile force.

Precipitation heat treatment – brings about the precipitation of a constituent from a supersaturated solid solution

by holding the body at an elevated temperature, also called artificial aging.

Aging – precipitation occurring a ambient temperature.

Proof stress – is that stress which causes a specified permanent deformation of a material, usually 0.01% or less.

Red shortness – is a brittleness in steel when it is red hot.

Relaxation – associated with creep, is the decreasing stress at a constant strain; important for metals in high-

temperature service.

Residual stresses – are those not due to applied loads or temperature gradients.

Rimmed steel – is incompletely deoxidized steel.

Solution heat treatment – is the process of holding an alloy at a suitably high temperature long enough to permit

one or more constituents to pass into solid solution and then cooling fast enough to hold the constituents as a

supersaturated solution.

Stiffness – is the ability to resist deformation. It is measured by the elasticity in the elastic range; the higher the

modulus the stiffer is the material.

Strain hardening – is increasing the hardness and strength by plastic deformation at temperature lower that the

recrystallization range.

Temper – is a condition produced in a non-ferrous metal by mechanical or thermal treatment; for example,

3. Heat Treatment Terms.

Heat treatment – is an operation or combination of operations involving the heating and cooling of metal or an alloy

in the solid state for the purpose of altering the properties of materials.

Aging (and age hardening) – is a change in a metal by which its structure recovers from an unstable or metastable

condition that has been produced by quenching or cold working.


4

Annealing – is a heating and slow cooling of a solid metal, usually done to soften it.

Critical range – has the same meaning as transformation range.

Drawing – is often used to mean tempering.

Graphitizing and annealing process – causes the combined carbon to transform wholly or in part into graphitic or

free carbon; it is applied to cast iron, sometimes to high-carbon steel.

Hardening – is the heating of certain steels above the transformation range and then quenching, for the purpose of

increasing the hardness. In general case, hardening is any process of increasing the hardness of a metal.

Malleablizing – is an annealing process whereby combined carbon in white cast iron is transformed wholly or in part

to temper carbomn.

Normalizing – is the heating of an iron-base alloy to some 100 F above the transformation range with subsequent

cooling to below that range in still air at room temperature. The purpose is to produce a uniform structure.

Spheroidizing – is any heating and cooling of steel that produces a rounded or globular form of carbide.

Stress relieving (thermal) – is the heating of a metal body to a suitable temperature (generally just below the

transformation range for steel, say 1100 – 1200 F) and holding it at that temperature for a suitable time (1 to 3

hours for steel) for the purpose of reducing internal residual stresses. The internal stresses may be present because

the body has been cast, quenched, normalized, machined, cold worked, or welded.

Tempering – is a reheating of hardened or normalized steel to a temperature below the transformation range,

followed by any desired rate of cooling.

Transformation range (for ferrous metal) is the temperature interval during which austenite is formed during

heating; it is also the temperature interval during which austenite disappears during cooling.

applied to a 10-mm ball which presses for 10 sec. or more on surface of the material being tested. The load in

kilograms divided by the area of the surface of the indentation in square millimeters is the BHN. Ultimate tensile

stress of steel is approximately 500 x BHN psi.

will remove fine suspended matter and colloidal substances by adsorption or mechanical entrainment.

11.3 Dialysis – a practical toll for recovering chemical from process waste.

11.4 Electro dialysis – reduces the dissolved solids content of water.

11.5 Ion exchange – is a versatile process that keeps extending its range of service. In waste water treatment

it is used to remove or recover anions and cations depending on whether or not they are valuable,

undesirable or both.

11.6 Neutralization – is frequently needed to keep pH in the range of 6 to 8 required by most water quality

criteria.

11.7 Oxidation reduction and precipitation system – are widely applied for the treatment of plating wastes.

11.8 Sludge handling and disposal – is a final step from waste water treatment plants.

11.9 Sludge concentrators – are mainly used to thicken sludge from secondary clarifiers or mixtures of sludge

from both primary and secondary treatment units.

11.10 Digestion under anaerobic conditions – makes sludge solid easier to dewater and convert parts of the

inorganic matter to gaseous end products.

11.11 Dewatering – is handled by drying beds, lagoons, filters, and centrifugal.

11.12 Vacuum filtration – is the most widely used method of mechanical sludge dewatering.

11.13 Gravity filters – consists of two cells operating at atmospheric pressure. These cells are formed by a fine-

mesh nylon filter cloth continuously travelling over front and rear guide wheel.
