Question: Figure 1 shows a cast iron roller assembly driven by a gear. The roller extends over 8 0 % of length a and is centered

Figure 1 shows a cast iron roller assembly driven by a gear. The roller extends over 80% of length a and is centered in that dimension. The roller occupies 95% of the exposed shaft length between the bearing faces. The shaft is steel with Sy=427MPa and Sut=745MPa. For the data shown in Table1, find the safety factor against fatigue failure for a shaft diameter of 40 mm at point C (middle of the roller).
Assumptions:
The finish is machined, reliability is 90%, and the shaft is at room temperature.
One half of the torque (T) is taken out at the right-hand key and the other half at the lefthand key (it means that at the middle of the roller only one half of the torque is present).
Note that the given magnitudes of the radial force shown acting on gear in this problem is not necessarily consistent with a load associated with the given torque for any real gear of reasonable pressure angle.
