Question

A. Figure 4 shows a shaft carrying two sprockets for synchronous belt drives that are keyed to the shaft. Figure 4 (b) shows that a force F is transmitted from the shaft to the hub of the sprocket through a square key. The shaft has a diameter of 2.25 in and transmits a torque of 14 063 lb-in. The key has a square cross section, 0.50 in on a side, and a length of 1.75 in. Compute the force on the key and the shear stress caused by this force.

          A. Figure 4 shows a shaft carrying two sprockets for synchronous belt drives that are keyed to the
shaft.
Figure 4 (b) shows that a force F is transmitted from the shaft to the hub of the sprocket through a
square key. The shaft has a diameter of 2.25 in and transmits a torque of 14 063 lb-in. The key has a
square cross section, 0.50 in on a side, and a length of 1.75 in. Compute the force on the key and the
shear stress caused by this force.

Step 1

We know the torque transmitted by the shaft and the diameter of the shaft. The torque is related to the force and the radius of the shaft by the equation: $$T = F \cdot r$$ where T is the torque, F is the force, and r is the radius. Show more…
