Q/A shaft supported at the ends in ball bearings carries a straight tooth spur gear at its mid span and is to transmit 7.5 kW at 300 r.p.m. The pitch circle diameter of the gear is 150 mm. The distances between the centre line of bearings and gear are 100 mm each. If the shaft is made of steel and the allowable shear stress is 45 MPa, determine the diameter of the shaft. Show in a sketch how the gear will be mounted on the shaft; also indicate the ends where the bearings will be mounted? The pressure angle of the gear may be taken as 20°.

Question
Q/A shaft supported at the ends in ball bearings carries a
straight tooth spur gear at its mid span and is to transmit 7.5
kW at 300 r.p.m. The pitch circle diameter of the gear is 150
mm. The distances between the centre line of bearings and
gear are 100 mm each. If the shaft is made of steel and the
allowable shear stress is 45 MPa, determine the diameter of
the shaft. Show in a sketch how the gear will be mounted on
the shaft; also indicate the ends where the bearings will be
mounted? The pressure angle of the gear may be taken as
20°.
