A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in Fig. 1. Gear A receives power from another gear with the transmitted force FA = 20 kN applied at the pressure angle = 20. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered through gear B at the pressure angle = 25. The shaft design proposed for this application is shown in Fig. 2. The material is AISI 1050 cold-drawn steel. The keyseats are cut with standard endmills. The effective centers of the gears for force transmission are also shown in Fig. 2. a. Examine the shaft for strength at the critical locations and determine the fatigue factor of safety using the DE-Goodman failure criterion. You may assume that the torque is steady, and the bending moment is fully reversed. Figure 1 FA 20 y 400 mm FB 350 mm 25 300 mm A Gear A, 600-mm dia. B Gear B, 300-mm dia. 50-mm dia. /C c.
