Question
Two 400 mm diameter pulleys are keyed to a simply supported shaft 500 mm apart. Each pulley is 100
mm from its support and has horizontal belts, tension ratio being 2.5. If the shear stress is to be limited
to 80 MPa while transmitting 45 kW at 900 r.p.m., find the shaft diameter if it is to be used for the
input-output belts being on the same or opposite sides.
[Ans. 40 mm]
