Shoulders for bearing and gear support should match the catalog
recommendation for the specific bearing or gear.
A look through bearing catalogs shows that a typical bearing calls
for the ratio of D/d to be between 1.2 and 1.5.
For a first approximation, assume D/d =1.5 can be assumed.
Fillet radius at the shoulder needs to be sized to avoid
interference with the fillet radius of the mating component. There
is a significant variation in typical bearings in the ratio of fillet
radius r/d versus bore diameter, with typically ranging from
around 0.02 to 0.06.

Estimating Stress Concentration

Figures A-15-8 and A-15-9 show that the stress concentrations for
bending and torsion increase significantly in this range. For
example, with D/d = 1.5 for bending
r/d 0.02 0.05 0.1
Kt 2.7 2.1 1.7
In most cases the shear and bending moment diagrams show that
bending moments are quite low near the bearings, since the
bending moments from the ground reaction forces are small.

This has the disadvantage of reducing the cross-sectional area, but is often
used in cases where it is useful to provide a relief groove before the
shoulder to prevent the grinding or turning operation from having to go all
the way to the shoulder.
the worst end of the spectrum, with r/d = 0.02 and D/d = 1.5, Kt values
from the stress concentration charts for shoulders indicate 2.7 for
bending, 2.2 for torsion, and 3.0 for axial.

Problem 18-10
A geared industrial roll shown
in the figure is driven at 300
rev/min by a force F acting on
a 3-in-diameter pitch circle as
shown. The roll exerts a
normal force of 30 lbf/in of
roll length on the material
being pulled through. The
material passes under the roll.
The coefficient of friction is
0.40. Develop the moment
and shear diagrams for the
shaft modeling the roll force
as a concentrated force at the
center of the roll,

Problem 18-11
1. Using a 1035 hot rolled steel, estimate the necessary diameter at the
locations of peak bending moment using a design factor of 2. These
are likely to be fillets at both ends of the right hand bearing seat,
where the bending moment is slightly less than the local extreme.
2. Estimating the fatigue stress-concentration factor as 2, and using a
design factor of 2, what is the approximate necessary diameter of
the bearing seat using the DE-elliptic fatigue failure criterion in

Shaft Design
One approach is (See Lab Handbook):
1. Selecting a material (usually steel)
2. Drawing a free body diagram of the shaft
3. Performing static equilibrium analysis and
4. Locating the critical area
5. Performing static stress analysis to find a starting diameter size, d’.
6. Using the value of d’ in calculating the endurance limit (a trial
diameter can also be used)
7. Estimating the critical value of the diameter, d, using DE-Gerber or DE-
ASME-elliptic methods
8. Repeat step 6 if d different from d’.
9. Building the rest of the shaft by considering the machine parts to be
mounted on the shaft (bearings, gears, pulleys, …)
10. Performing deflection analysis
11. Performing Dynamic analysis

Shaft Materials
Small shafts with diameters less than 3.5 in (90 mm) are usually
made of Cold Drawn carbon steel (AISI 1018-1050).
Heat treated steels are also used when higher strengths are
necessary.

Geometric Constraints
Unlike stress, which is a function
of local geometry and load,
deflection is a function of the
geometry everywhere. Thus, The
task of deflection and rigidity
analyses can be started only when
the entire geometry of the shaft is
determined.
However the approach described
in section 18-2, which is based on
bearing slope constraints as
limiting, may be used first
assuming a uniform diameter shaft
and using equations 18-1 and 18-2
to find the diameters at the
bearings.

Stress Concentrations and Shaft Geometry
Shaft shoulders are used to position and provide necessary thrust supports
for elements such as bearings, gears, pulleys,… Provisions must be made
for torque-transfer elements such as keys, splines, pins
The theoretical stress concentration factors for shoulders, grooves and
transverse holes can be obtained from appendix [A15+]. Others are

Design I Shaft Geometry
To determine the entire geometry of the shaft one has to rely on existing
models. Some of these models are given in figures 18-1 through 18-8 of
the Textbook. More shaft configurations can be found in the FAG
handbooks of the Design of Rolling Bearing Mountings.

1. The slope at ball bearings should be limited at 0.25 deg the slope at roller
bearings and long journal bearings should be a lot less. For details on
acceptable slopes refer to FAG and SKF catalogs.
3. For shafts mounting good quality spur gears, the deflection at the gear
mesh should not exceed 0.005 in. (0.125 mm) or F/200 (F is the gear face
width in inches) and the slope should be limited 0.0286 deg.
4. For shafts mounting good quality bevel gears, the deflection at the gear
mesh should not exceed 0.003 in. (0.076 mm).
