Deflection Considerations (Shaft Design)
Deflection of the shaft, both linear and angular, should be checked at gears
and bearings.
Values should not cross the allowable limits to avoid misalignment due
to deflection.
Deflections due
to Bending
Differentiation
If slope is larger than the allowable slope θall, at any point, a new diameter can
be found from
Solution
First we find the new diameter
Typical factors of safety are 1.5 to 2.0 for static loads and 4 to 8 for various
dynamic loads
Setscrews should have a length of about half of the shaft diameter

Miscellaneous Shaft Components
Keys and Pins
Used to to secure rotating elements, such as gears, pulleys,or other wheels
Keys are used to enable the transmission of torque from the shaft to the shaft-
supported element.
Pins are used for axial positioning and for the transfer of torque or thrust or both.
