1. Definition
A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used to transmit power from one place to another. The
power is delivered to the shaft by some tangential force and the resultant torque (or twisting moment)
setup within the shaft permits the power to be transferred to various machines linked up to the shaft.

2. Types of shafts
2.1 Axle is a stationary member carrying rotating wheels, pulleys, etc.
2.2 Transmission shafts transmit power between the source and the absorbing power.
2.3 Machine shafts a shaft which is an integral part of the machine itself. The crank shaft is an example of
machine shaft.
2.4 LIneshaft, or mainshaft is one driven by a primemover.
2.5 Countershafts, jackshafts, or headshafts are shafts intermediate between a line shaft and a driven
machine.
2.6 Spindles are short shafts on machines.

3. Stresses in Shafts

3.1 Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (i.e. due to torsional load).
3.2 Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon machine elements like gears,
pulleys etc. as well as due to the weight of the shaft itself.
3.3 Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.

12. Shaft Design by Machinerys Handbook
12.1 Torsional deflection
According to some authorities, the allowable twist in steel transmission shafting should not
exceed 0.08 degree per foot length of the shaft. The diameter D(in.) of a shaft that will permit a
maximum angular deflection of 0.08 degree per foot of length for a given torque T (in-lb) or for a
given horsepower P can be determined from the formulas:

degree per meter length,

Another rule that has been generally used in mill practice limits the deflection to 1 degree in a
length equal to 20 times the shaft diameter. For a given torque or horsepower, the diameter of
a shaft having this maximum deflection is given by:

3
1 0 T D . =

N
P
D . =
12.2 For steel line shafting, it is considered good practice to limit the linear deflection to a maximum
of 0.010 inch per foot of length. The maximum distance in feet between bearings, for average
conditions, in order to avoid excessive linear deflection, is determined by the formulas:
3 2
95 8 D L . = for shafting subject to no bending action except its own weight
3 2
2 5 D L . = for shafting subject to bending action of pulleys, etc.
in which D = diameter of shaft in inches and L = maximum distance between bearings in feet.
Pulleys should be placed as close to the bearings as possible.

C. KEYS - LECTURE

1

1. Definitions
Key - is a piece of mild steel inserted between the shaft and hub of the pulley to connect these together in
order to prevent relative motion between them. It is always inserted parallel to the axis of the shaft.
Keyway - is a slot or recess in a shaft and hub of the pulley to accommodate a key.

2. Types of Keys
Flat key is rectangular in section with the smaller dimension placed in a radial direction and they may or
may not be tapered.

Square key is square in section and may or may not be tapered.
Round key is circular in section and fit into holes drilled partly in the shaft and partly in the hub.

Barth key is a square key with bottom two corners bevelled.
Gib-head key - is a square or flat and tapered key with a head at one end known as gib head. It is usually
provided to facilitate the removal of key.

Saddle key is tapered and are either hollow with a radius of curvature slightly smaller than the shaft radius,
or flat in which case they are assembled on a flat on the shaft. It is used without keyway on the shaft.
Flat saddle key is a taper key which fits in a keyway in the hub and is flat on the shaft.
C. KEYS - LECTURE

2

Hollow saddle key is a taper key which fits in a keyway in the hub and the bottom of the key is shaped to
fit the curved surface of the shaft.

Woodruff key is a key which fits into a semi-cylindrical seat on the shaft.

Feather key is a key that allows the hub to move along the shaft but prevents rotation on the shaft.

Kennedy key is a tapered square key, with or without gib heads, assembled with the diagonal dimension
virtually in a circumferential direction. It is also called tangential key.

C. KEYS - LECTURE

Rollpin is a key driven or pressed into a hole that is small enough to close the slit, assembled in radial
direction.

Splines is a key made integral with the shaft which fits in the keyways broached in the hub.

D. COUPLINGS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition
Shaft couplings are used in machinery for several purposes, the most common of which are the following:
a. To provide for the connection of shafts of units that are manufactured separately such as a motor and
generator and to provide for disconnection for repairs or alternations.
b. To provide for misalignment of the shafts or to introduce mechanical flexibility.
c. To reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another.
d. To introduce protection against overloads.
e. To alter the vibration characteristics of rotating units.
Note : A coupling is termed as a device used to make permanent or semi-permanent connection where as a
clutch permits rapid connection or disconnection at the will of the operator.

2. Types of Shaft Couplings
2.1 Rigid Couplings
Rigid coupling is used to connect two shafts which are perfectly aligned.
2.1.1 Flange coupling - usually applies to a coupling having two separate cast iron flanges. Each flange
is mounted on the shaft end and keyed to it. The faces are turned up at right angle to the axis of
the shaft. One of the flange has a projected portion and the other flange has a corresponding
recess.

2.1.2 Compression coupling utilizes two split cones which are drawn together by the bolts in order to
produce a wedging action which tightens the parts of the coupling and the shafts.

2.2 Flexible Couplings
Flexible coupling is used to connect two shafts having both lateral and angular misalignment.
2.2.1 Oldham coupling
Oldham coupling is used to join two shafts which have lateral mis-alignment.

2

2.2.2 Universal (or Hookes) Coupling
Universal or Hookes coupling is used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect at a small
angle. The inclination of the two shafts may be constant, but in actual practice, it varies when
the motion is transmitted from one shaft to another.

2.2.3 Other flexible couplings
Chain coupling, flexible disk coupling, gear type coupling, etc.

1. Definition of Flywheel
A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir which stores energy during the period when the
supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of
energy is more than supply.
A flywheel is a rotating member that acts as a storage reservoir for energy when work is not
consumed at as fast a rate as the power is supplied.

1. Screw Fastenings
Screw fastening is composed by a bolt and nut.
Screw thread - is formed by cutting a continuous helical groove on a cylindrical surface.

2. Definitions

Major diameter is the largest diameter of an external or internal screw thread. The screw is specified by this
diameter. It is also known as outside or nominal diameter.
Minor diameter is the smallest diameter of an external or internal screw thread. It is known as core or root
diameter.
Pitch diameter is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder, on a cylindrical screw thread, the surface of which would
pass through the thread at such points as to make equal the width thread and the width of the spaces between the
threads. It is also called an effective diameter. It is the mean diameter of major and minor diameters.
Pitch is the distance from a point on one thread to the corresponding point on the next. This is measured in an
axial direction between corresponding points in the same axial plane.

Lead is the distance between two corresponding points on the same helix. It may also be defined as the distance
which a screw thread advances axially in one rotation of the nut. Lead is equal to the pitch in case of single start
thread, it is twice the pitch in double start, thrice the pitch in triple start and so on.
Crest is the top surface of the thread.
Root is the bottom surface created by the two adjacent flanks of the thread.
Depth of thread is the perpendicular distance between the crest and root.
Flank it the surface joining the crest and root.
Angle of thread is the angle included by the flanks of the thread.
Slope it is half the pitch of the thread.

H. SPRING - LECTURE

1

1. Definition

SPRING is defined as an elastic body, whose function is to distort when loaded and to recover its original shape
when the load is removed.

2. Application:
2.1 To cushion, absorb or control energy due to either shock or vibration as in car springs, railway buffers, air-craft
landing gears, shock absorbers and vibration dampers.
2.2 To apply forces, as in brakes, clutches and spring-loaded valves.
2.3 To control motion by maintaining contact between two elements as in cams and followers.
2.4 To measure forces, as in spring balances and engine indicators.
2.5 To store energy, as in watches, toys, etc.

3. Types of Springs (According to shapes)
3.1 Helical springs are made up of a wire coiled in the form of a helix and is primarily intended for compressive or
tensile loads. The cross-section of the wire from which the spring is made may be circular, square or rectangular.

Forms of helical springs.
3.1.1 Compression helical spring
3.1.2 Tension helical spring

Closely coiled when the spring is coiled so close that the plane containing each turn is nearly at right angles to
the axis of the helix and the wire is subjected to torsion. Helix angle is usually less than 10 degrees.

Open coiled is coiled in such a way that there is a gap between the two consecutive turns, as a result of which
the helix angle is large.

3.2 Conical and volute springs are used in special applications where a telescoping spring or a spring with a spring
rate that increases with the load is desired. The conical spring is wound with a uniform pitch whereas the volute
springs are wound in the form of paraboloid with constant pitch and lead angles.

H. SPRING - LECTURE

2

3.3 Torsional springs are springs that may be of helical or spiral type.

Helical type may be used only in applications where the load tends to wing up the spring and are used in
various electrical mechanisms.
Spiral type is used where the load tends to increase the number of coils and when made of flat strip are used
in watches and clocks.

3.4 Laminated or leaf springs (flat spring or carriage spring) consist of a number of flat plates (known as leaves) of
varying lengths held together by means of clamps and bolts.

H. SPRING - LECTURE

3

3.5 Disc or Belleville springs consist of a number of conical discs held together against slipping by a central bolt or
tube. These springs are used in applications where high spring rates and compact spring units are required.

3.6 Special purpose springs these springs are air or liquid springs, rubber springs, ring springs etc.

4. Material for Helical Springs

The springs are mostly made from oil-tempered carbon steel wires containing 0.60 to 0.70 per cent carbon and 0.60
to 1.0 per cent manganese. Music wire is used for small springs. Non-ferrous materials like phosphor bronze,
beryllium copper, monel metal, brass etc., may be used in special cases to increase fatigue resistance and corrosion
resistance.

The helical springs are either cold formed or hot formed depending upon the size of the wire. Wires of small sizes
(less than 10 mm diameter) are usually wound cold whereas larger size wires are wound hot. The strength of the
wires varies with size, smaller size wires have greater strength and less ductility, due to the greater degree of cold
working.

Severe service means rapid continuous loading where the rate of minimum to maximum load (or stress) is one-half
or less, as in automotive valve springs.

Average service includes the same stress range as in severe service but with only intermittent operation, as in
engine governor springs and automobile suspension springs.

Light service includes springs subjected to loads that are static or very infrequently varied, as in safety valve
springs.

5. Terms use in Compression Springs

5.1 Solid length is the product of total number of coils and the diameter of the wire.

5.2 Free length is the length of the spring in the free or unloaded condition. It is equal to the solid length plus the
maximum deflection or compression of the spring and the clearance between the adjacent coils (when fully
compressed).

H. SPRING - LECTURE

4

5.3 Spring index is defined as the ratio of the mean diameter of the coil to the diameter of the wire.
Spring index, d D C =
Where D = Mean diameter of the coil, and
d = Diameter of the wire.

5.4 Spring rate (stiffness or spring constant or spring scale) is defined as the load required per unit deflection of
the spring.
Spring rate, F k =
Where F = Load,and
= Deflection of the spring.

5.5 Pitch is defined as the axial distance between adjacent coils in uncompressed state.

6. End Connections for Compression Helical Springs

Inactive coils part of the coil which is in contact with the seat and does not contribute to spring action.
Active turns turns which impart spring action.

1. Definition
The belts are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of pulleys which rotate at the same speed
or at different speeds.
2. Types of Belts

2.1 Flat belt - is mostly used in the factories and workshops, where a moderate amount of power is to be
transmitted, from one pulley to another when the two pulleys are not more than 8 metres apart.
2.2 V- belt - is mostly used in the factories and workshops, where a great amount of power is to be transmitted,
from one pulley to another, when the two pulleys are very near to each other.
2.3 Circular belt or rope - is mostly used in the factories and workshops, where a great amount of power is to be
transmitted, from one pulley to another, when the two pulleys are more than 8 metres apart.

3. Material used for Belts
3.1 Leather
Oak-tanned leather is a standard material for flat belts. Chrome leather may be used where a very pliable
material is desired.
3.2 Cotton or fabric belts.
Most of the fabric belts are made by folding canvass or cotton duck to three or more layers (depending upon the
thickness desired) and stitching together.
3.2 Rubber belts.
Rubber belts are made in layers (say 3 to 12), called plies, of canvas duck impregnated with rubber which is later
vulcanized.
3.3 V-belts.
V-belts are made of fabric and cords molded in rubber and are generally covered with fabric.

1. General
The chains are made up of number of rigid links which are hinged together by pin joints in order to provide the
necessary flexibility for wrapping round the driving and driven wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth of special
profile and fit into the corresponding recesses in the links of the chain as shown in Figure 1. The toothed wheels are
known as sprocket wheels or simply sprockets. The sprockets and the chain are thus constrained to move together
without slipping and ensures perfect velocity ratio.
These chains are used for transmission of power, when the distance between the centers of shafts is short.
These chains have provision for efficient lubrication.

2. Types of Power Transmission Chains
2.1 Block or bush chain.
This type of chain was used in the early stages of development in the power transmission.

2.2 Bush roller chain.
This consists of outer plates or pin link plates, inner plates or roller link plates, pins, bushes and rollers. A pin
passes through the bush which is secured in the holes of the roller between the two sides of the chain. The
rollers are free to rotate on the bush which protects the sprocket wheel teeth against wear. The pins, bushes
and rollers are made of alloy steel.

J. CHAINS - LECTURE

2

2.3 Silent chain.
A silent chain (also known as inverted tooth chain) is designed to eliminate the evil effects caused by stretching
and to produce noiseless running. When the chain stretches and the pitch of the chain increases, the links ride
on the teeth of the sprocket wheel at a slightly increased radius. This automatically corrects the small change in
the pitch..
J. CHAINS - LECTURE

3. Terms and Definition
3.1 Pitch of chain (P)
It is the distance between the hinge centre of a link and the corresponding hinge centre of the adjacent link.

3.2 Pitch circle diameter of chain sprocket (D).
It is the diameter of the circle on which the hinge centers of the chain lie, when the chain is wrapped round a
sprocket.

5. Tabulated Horsepower Ratings for Roller Chain Drives
Refer to PSME Code 2008,, Table 3.11, page 27 and other references.

6. Types of Lubrication.
Type I manual lubrication oil is applied periodically with a brush or spout can, preferably at least once every 8
hours of operation, (vmax = 300 fpm).
Type II drip lubrication oil drops are directed between the link plate edges from a drip lubricator, (vmax = 1300
fpm).
Type III bath or disc lubrication with bath lubrication the lower strand of chain runs through a sump of oil in the
drive housing. The oil level should reach the pitch line of the chain at its lowest point while operating. With disc
lubrication, the chain operates above the oil level. The disc picks up oil from the sump and deposits it onto the chain,
usually by means of trough. (vmax = 2300 fpm).
Type IV oil stream lubrication the lubricant is usually supplied by a circulating pump capable of supplying each
chain drive with a continuous stream of oil.

With odd tooth numbers on the smaller sprocket and an even number of pitches in the chain, the frequency of
contact between a particular tooth and a particular roller is a minimum, presumable better distributing the wear.

K. WIRE ROPES - LECTURE

1

1. Definitions.
1.1 Wire Ropes are made from cold-drawn wires that are first wrapped into strands; the strands are then
wrapped into helices about a core or central elements, which is usually hemp or pulp.
1.2 Regular Lay in which the wires and strands are twisted in opposite directions.
1.3 Lang Lay in which the wires and strands are twisted in the same direction.
1.4 Non-preformed the wires and strands are bent into place, resulting in high stresses in straight, unloaded rope.
1.5 Preformed the individual strands having been mechanically shaped ahead of time into the helical configuration
they have in the rope.

2. Construction of wire ropes.
The construction is indicated by two numbers, the first giving the number of strands, the second the number of
wires in each strands.
Example: 6 x 19 wire rope has 6 strands each with 19 wires.

2.1 6 x7 being made of heavy wire, provides maximum resistance to abrasion and wear. Used for haulages, rigging,
guard rails.
2.2 6 x 19 being a compromise of flexibility and wear resistance, is one of the most popular types. Uses, including
all various cross sections: scraper and shovel cables, draglines, logging ropes, haulage, hoists.
2.3 6 x 37 is an extra-flexible rope and therefore useful where abrasion is not severe and where relatively sharp
bends must be tolerated. Used for winch lines, hawsers, overhead cranes, and hoists.

3. Wire rope materials.
3.1 Mild plow steel (IPS) which has an ultimate strength of between 180 and 210 ksi, the higher values applying to
the smaller wires
3.2 Plow steel (PS) which has an ultimate strength of between 210 and 280 ksi, the higher values applying to the
smaller wires
3.3 Improved plow steel (IPS) which has an ultimate strength of between 240 and 280 ksi, the higher values
applying to the smaller wires.
3.4 Traction which has an ultimate strength of between 180 and 190 ksi, the higher values applying to the smaller
wires
3.5 Iron, with lower carbon (about 0.1%) content (
u
< 100 ksi).
3.6 Very-high-strength (VHS) which has an ultimate strength of between 280 and 340 ksi, for premium jobs, about
15% stronger in rope form than IPS.
3.7 Others such as galvanized wire ropes in various steel grades of steel, phosphor bronze, stainless steel.

L. SPUR GEARS - LECTURE

1

1. Gears
Gears are machine elements that transmit motion by means of successively engaging teeth. The gear drive is
therefore positive, which gives it an advantage in motion-transmission performance over friction drives such as
friction wheels and belts.

2. Definitions
Spur gears are toothed wheels whose tooth elements are straight and parallel to the shaft axis; they are used to
transmit motion and power between parallel shafts.

Pitch circle - It is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action, would give the same motion as the actual gear.

Pitch circle diameter - It is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle
diameter. It is also called as pitch diameter.

Pitch point It is the point of tangency of the pitch circles.

Pitch surface It is the surface of the rolling discs which the meshing gears have replaced at the pitch circle.

Addendum It is the radial distance between the pitch circle and the addendum circle.

Dedendum It is the radial distance from the pitch circle to the root circle, that is, to the bottom of the tooth space.

Addendum circle It is the circle that bounds at the outer ends of the teeth. It is also called outside circle.

Outside diameter is the diameter of addendum circle.

Dedendum circle It is the circle that bounds the bottoms of the teeth. It is also called root circle.

Whole depth (Total depth) It is the radial distance between the addendum and the dedendum circle of a gear. It
is equal to the sum of the addendum and dedendum.

Working depth It is radial distance from the addendum circle to the clearance circle. It is equal to the sum of the
addendum of the two meshing gears.

Clearance It is the radial distance between the working-depth circle and the root circle; it is the dedendum minus
the mating addendum.

Tooth thickness It is the width of the tooth measured along the pitch circle.

Tooth space It is the width of space between the two adjacent teeth measured along the pitch circle.

Backlash - It is the difference between the tooth space and the tooth thickness, as measured on the pitch circle.

2

Face of the tooth It is surface of the tooth between the pitch cylinder and the addendum cylinder.

Top land It is the surface of the top of the tooth.

Flank is the surface of the tooth between the pitch and root cylinders.

Face width It is the length of teeth in an axial direction.

Bottom land is the surface of the bottom of the tooth space.

Profile It is the curve formed by the face and flank of the tooth.

Fillet radius It is the radius that connects the root circle to the profile of the tooth.

Pinion the smaller of two meshing gears.

Gears the larger of two meshing gears.

Path of contact It is the path traced by the point of contact of two teeth from the beginning to the end of
engagement.

Length of the path of contact It is the length of the common normal cut-off by the addendum circles of the wheel
and pinion.

Arc of contact It is the path traced by a point on the pitch circle from the beginning to the end of engagement of a
given pair of teeth.

Arc of approach It is the portion of the path of contact from the beginning of the engagement to the pitch point.

Arc of recess It is the portion of the path of contact from the pitch point to the end of the engagement of a pair of
teeth.

Angle of action is the angle through which the gear turns from the time a particular pair of teeth come into contact
until they go out of contact.

Arc of action subtends the angle of action.

Angle of approach is the angle through which the gear turns from the time a particular pair of teeth come in to
come into contact until they are in contact at the pitch point.

Angle of recess is the angle through which the gear turns from the time a given pair of teeth are in contact at the
pitch point until they pass out of mesh.

3

Velocity ratio, m
w
is the angular velocity of the driver divided by the angular velocity of the driven gear.

Gear ratio, m
g
is the number of teeth in the gear divided by the number of teeth in the pinion.

Contact ratio, m
c
the ratio of the length of arc of contact to the circular pitch.

Base circle is the circle from which the involute is generated.

Degree of involute is used to define the base circle for a particular pitch circle.

Pressure angle or angle of obliquity It is the angle between the common normal to two gear teeth at the point of
contact and the common tangent at the pitch point. It is usually denoted by . The standard pressure angles are 14
1/2 and 20.

3. Pitch
Pitch is a measure of the spacing, and usually also of the size, of the tooth.

1. Definitions
Helical gears are toothed wheels whose tooth elements are cut in the form of a helix about an axis of rotation and
are used to connect parallel shafts.
Herringbone gears are double helical gears consisting of right-hand and left-hand helices to absorb the axial thrust
within the gear and are used to connect parallel shafts.
Crossed helical gears helical gears mounted on non-parallel shafts.

2. Helix angle and face width

Helix angle, is the angle between a tangent to the pitch helix and an intersecting axial element of the pitch
cylinder.
Base helix angle,
b
is the angle between a tangent to the base helix and an element of the base cylinder (which
contains the base circles).
Face contact ratio is the advance of the tooth in the line of face width divided by the circular pitch.

N. BEVEL GEARS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.
Bevel Gears are used to connect intersecting shafts, usually but not necessarily at 90
o
.
2. Terms used in Bevel Gears

Pitch cone It is a cone containing the pitch elements of the teeth.

Cone center It is the apex of the pitch cone. It may be defined as that point where the axes of two mating gears
intersect each other.

Pitch angle It is the angle made by the pitch line with the axis of the shaft.

Cone distance It is the length of the pitch cone element. It is also called as a pitch cone radius.

Addendum angle It is the angle subtended by the addendum of the tooth at the cone centre.

Dedendum angle It is the angle subtended by the dedendum of the tooth at the cone centre.

Face angle It is the angle subtended by the face of the tooth at the cone center. The face angle is equal to the pitch
angle plus addendum angle.

Root angle It is the angle subtended by the root of the tooth at the cone center. It is equal to the pitch angle minus
dedendum angle.

Back (or normal) cone It is an imaginary cone, perpendicular to the pitch cone at the end of the tooth.

2

Back cone distance It is the length of the back cone. It is also called back cone radius.

Backing It is the distance of the pitch point from the back of the boss, parallel to the pitch point of the gear.

Crown height It is the distance of the crown point from the cone centre, parallel to the axis of the gear.

Mounting height It is the distance of the back of the boss from the cone centre.

Pitch diameter It is the diameter of the largest pitch circle.

Outside or addendum cone diameter It is the maximum diameter of the teeth of the gear. It is equal to the
diameter of the blank from which the gear can be cut.

3. Types of Bevel Gears
Straight bevel gears are whose tooth profiles consist of straight elements that converge to a point at the cone
center.

Spiral bevel gears are those having curved oblique teeth on which contact begins gradually and continues
smoothly from end to end.

Zerol bevel gears whose teeth are curved but lie in the same direction as the teeth of straight bevel gears.

Hypoid gears resembles spiral bevel gears except that the shaft axes are offset, not intersecting. Instead of pitch
cone, the pitch surface is a hyperboloid.

Miter gears are pair of bevel gears of the same size that are on shafts intersecting at right angles. They are equal in
pitch angle.

Angular gears are bevel gears mounted on intersecting shafts at angles of other than 90
o
.

Crown gear s are bevel gears in which the pitch angle is 90o; that is the pitch cone has become a plane.

4. Proportions for Bevel Gear
The proportions for the bevel gears of gear ratio of 1 may be taken as follows:
Addendum, a = 1/P
d

Dedendum, d = 1.2/P
d

Clearance = 0.2/P
d

Working depth = 2/P
d

Thickness of tooth = 1.5708/P

O. WORM GEARS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.
Worm gears are widely used for transmitting power at high velocity ratios between non-intersecting shafts that
are generally, but not necessarily, at right angles.

2. Terms used in Worm Gearing
Axial pitch It is also known as linear pitch of a worm. It is the distance measured axially (i.e. parallel to the axis of
worm) from a point on one thread to the corresponding point on the adjacent thread on the worm.

Lead It is the linear distance through which a point on a thread moves ahead in one revolution of the worm. For
single start threads, lead is equal to the axial pitch, but for multiple start threads, lead is equal to the product of axial
pitch and number of starts.

Lead angle It is the angle between the tangent to the thread helix on the pitch cylinder and the plane normal to
the axis of the worm.

Tooth pressure angle It is measured in a plane containing the axis of the worm and is equal to one-half the thread
profile angle.

Normal pitch It is the distance measured along the normal to the threads between two corresponding points on
two adjacent threads of the worm.

Helix angle It is the angle between the tangent to the thread helix on the pitch cylinder and the axis of the worm.

Velocity ratio It is the ratio of the speed of worm in r.p.m. to the speed of the worm gear in r.p.m.

P. BRAKES - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.
Brakes are friction devices used to regulate the motion of bodies (slowing them down, holding their speed
constant, holding them at rest, etc.

Single block or shoe brake consists of a block or shoe which is pressed against the rim of a revolving brake wheel
drum.

Double Block or Shoe Brake consists of two brake blocks applied at the opposite ends of a diameter of the wheel
which eliminate or reduces the unbalanced force on the shaft.

Band brake consists of a flexible band of leather, one or more ropes, or a steel lined with friction material, which
embraces a part of the circumference of the drum.

Simple band brake in which one end of the band is attached to a fixed pin or fulcrum of the lever while the other
end is attached to the lever at a distance from the fulcrum.

Differential band brake in which the tension in the band assists in applying the brake.

2. Types of Brakes

The brakes, according to the means used for transforming the energy by the braking element, are classified as :
1. Hydraulic brakes e.g. pumps or hydrodynamic brake and fluid agitator,
2. Electric brakes e.g. generators and eddy current brakes, and
3. Mechanical brakes.
The mechanical brakes, according to the direction of acting force, may be divided into the following two groups :
a. Radial brakes. In these brakes, the force acting on the brake drum is in radial direction. The radial brakes
may be sub-divided into external brakes and internal brakes. According to the shape of the friction element,
these brakes may be block or shoe brakes and band brakes.
b. Axial brakes. In these brakes, the force acting on the brake drum is in axial direction. The axial brakes may
be disc brakes and cone brakes. The analysis of these brakes is similar to clutches.

Q. CLUTCHES - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.
Clutch is a machine member used to connect a driving shaft to a driven shaft so that the driven shaft may be
started or stopped at will, without stopping the driving shaft.
Clutch is a friction devices used to connect shafts (speeding up the driven bodies to the same angular velocity as
the driving shaft).

2. Types of clutches
2.1 Positive clutches are used when a positive drive is required.
Jaw clutch permits one shaft to drive another through a direct contact of interlocking jaws. It consists of two
halves, one of which is permanently fastened to driving shaft by a sunk key. The other half of the clutch is
movable and it is free to slide axially on the driven shaft, but it is prevented from turning relatively to its shaft by
means of feather key.
2.2 Friction clutches has its principal application in the transmission of power of shafts and machines which must
be started and stopped frequently.

3. Types of Friction Clutches
3.1 Disc or plate clutches (single disc or multiple disc clutch),
Single disc or plate clutch consists of a clutch plate whose both sides are faced with a frictional material.

Multiple disc clutch - may be used when a large torque is to be transmitted.

2

3.2 Cone clutches,
Cone clutches consists of one pair of friction surface only. In a cone clutch, the driver is keyed to the driving
shaft by a sunk key and has an inside conical surface or face which exactly fits into the outside conical surface of
the driven.

3.3 Centrifugal clutches.
Centrifugal clutches are usually incorporated into the motor pulleys. It consists of a number of shoes on the
inside of a rim of the pulley.

R. BEARINGS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.
Bearing a machine element which support another moving machine element. It permits a relative motion between
the contact surfaces of the members, while carrying the load.

2. Classification of Bearings
2.1 Depending upon the direction of load to be supported
2.1.1 Radial bearings where the load acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the moving element.
2.1.2 Thrust bearings - where the load acts along the axis of rotation.
2.2 Depending upon the nature of contact.
2.2.1 Sliding contact bearings where the sliding takes place along the surfaces of contact between the
moving element and the fixed element.
2.2.2 Rolling contact bearings where the steel balls or rollers are interposed between the moving and fixed
elements. The balls offer rolling friction at two points for each ball or roller.

3. Common Types of Sliding Contact Bearings
3.1 Journal, or sleeve, bearing.
Journal bearings are used to furnish lateral support to rotating shafts. The journal is the part of the shaft that
runs in the bushing or sleeve.
3.2 Full journal bearing.
Full journal bearing where the angle of contact of the bushing with the journal is 360
o
.
3.3 Partial journal bearing
Partial journal bearing where the angle of contact of bushing the journal is 180
o
or less, 120
o
being a common
value.
3.4 Clearance bearing
Clearance refers to the thickness of the space allowed for the lubricant that separates the parts having relative
motion.
Clearance bearing is one which the radius of the journal is less than the radius of the bushing.
3.5 Fitted bearing
Fitted bearing is one in which the radius of the journal and bushing are equal.
3.6 Thrust bearing
Thrust bearing a bearing designed to support an axial load.
3.6.1 Step bearing in which the end of the shaft is in contact with a bearing surface.
3.6.2 Collar bearing in which a collar is attached to or formed integral with the shaft.
3.6.3 Pivoted-segment bearing was developed in order to provide a converging film in a thrust bearing.

4. Properties of Lubricants
4.1 Viscosity - is the measure of degree of fluidity of a liquid. It is a physical property by virtue of which an oil is able
to form, retain and offer resistance to shearing a buffer film-under heat and pressure.
The viscosity of the lubricant is measured by Saybolt universal viscometer. It determines the time required for a
standard volume of oil at a certain temperature to flow under a certain head through a tube of standard
diameter and length. The time so determined in seconds is the Saybolt universal viscosity. In order to convert
Saybolt universal viscosity in seconds to absolute viscosity (centipoise), the following formula may be used:

4.2 Specific gravity (SG) this property has no relation to lubricating value but is useful in changing the kinematic
viscosity to absolute viscosity. Mathematically

4.3 Viscosity index is used to denote the degree of variation of viscosity with temperature.

4.4 Flash point is the lowest temperature at which an oil gives off sufficient vapor to support a momentary flash
without actually setting fire to the oil when a flame is brought within 6 mm at the surface of the oil.

4.5 Fire point is the temperature at which an oil gives off sufficient vapor to burn it continuously when ignited.

4.6 Pour point or freezing point is the temperature at which oil will cease to flow when cooled.

8. Types of Rolling Contact Bearings
1. Ball Bearing
2. Roller Bearing

The ball and roller bearings consist of an inner race which is mounted on the shaft or journal and an outer race
which is carried by the housing or casing.

9. Types of Radial Ball Bearings
Following are the various types of radial ball bearings:
1. Deep-groove ball bearing is one in which the balls are assembled by the eccentric displacement of the inner
ring.
2. Filling-slot type ball bearing has slots or notches that permit the assembly of more balls, giving a bearing of
larger radial load capacity.
3. Self-aligning ball bearing compensate for angular misalignment that arise from shaft or foundation deflection
or errors in mounting.
4. Angular-contact bearings where the line through the areas carrying the load makes an angle with the plane of
the face of the bearing.
5. Double-row ball bearings are similar to single-row ball bearings, except that each rings has two grooves.
6. Cylindrical roller bearings where the contact is a line instead of a point as in ball bearings, which results in a
greater area carrying the load and hence, for a particular size, in a larger radial capacity.
7. Self-aligning roller bearings with spherical rollers running in a double-grooved inner ring, have curved outer
rings that look like the outer ring of a self-aligning ball bearing.
8. Needle bearings cylindrical bearings made with relatively long bearings.

S. RIVETED JOINTS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition
A rivet is a short cylindrical bar with a head integral to it. The cylindrical portion of the rivet is called shank or body
and lower portion of shank is known as tail. The rivets are used to make permanent fastening between the plates
such as in structural work, ship building, bridges, tanks and boiler shells. The riveted joints are widely used for
joining light metals.

2. Types of Riveted Joints, depending upon the way in which the plates are connected.
2.1 Lap Joint - is that in which one plate overlaps the other and the two plates are then riveted together.
2.2 Butt joint - is that in which the main plates are kept in alignment butting (i.e. touching) each other and a cover
plate (i.e. strap) is placed either on one side or on both sides of the main plates. The cover plate is then riveted
together with the main plates.
2.2.1 Single strap butt joint - the edges of the main plates butt against each other and only one cover plate is
placed on one side of the main plates and then riveted together.
2.2.2 Double strap butt joint, the edges of the main plates butt against each other and two cover plates are
placed on both sides of the main plates and then riveted together.

3. Types of riveted , joints depending upon the number of rows of the rivets.
3.1 Single riveted joint is that in which there is a single row of rivets in a lap joint and there is a single row of rivets
on each side in a butt joint.
3.2 Double riveted joint is that in which there are two rows of rivets in a lap joint and there are two rows of rivets on
each side in a butt joint.

4. Chain and Zigzag Riveted
4.1 Chain riveted - when the rivets in the various rows are opposite to each other.
4.2 Zig-zag riveted when the rivets in the adjacent rows are staggered in such a way that every rivet is in the
middle of the two rivets of the opposite row .

5. Important Terms Used in Riveted Joints
5.1 Pitch is the distance from the centre of one rivet to the centre of the next rivet measured parallel to the seam,
p.
5.2 Back pitch is the perpendicular distance between the centre lines of the successive rows , p

T. WELDED JOINTS - LECTURE

1

1. Definition.
Welded joint is a permanent joint which is obtained by the fusion of the edges of the two parts to be joined
together, with or without the application of pressure and a filler material.

Welding is extensively used in fabrication as an alternative method for casting or forging and as a replacement for
bolted and riveted joints. It is also used as a repair medium e.g. to reunite metal at a crack, to build up a small part
that has broken off such as gear tooth or to repair a worn surface such as a bearing surface.

2. Welding Processes
2.1 Fusion Welding where the parts to be jointed are held in position while the molten metal is supplied to the
joint. The molten metal may come from the parts themselves (i.e. parent metal) or filler metals which normally
have the composition of the parent metal. The joint surface become plastic or even molten because of the heat
from the molten filler metal or other source. Thus, when the molten metal solidifies or fuses, the joint is formed.
2.1.1 Thermit Welding where a mixture of iron oxide and aluminium called thermit is ignited and the iron
oxide is reduced to molten iron. The molten iron is poured into a mould made around the joint and fuses
with the parts to be welded.
2.1.2 Gas Welding is made by applying the flame of an oxy-acetylene or hydrogen gas from a welding torch
upon the surfaces of the prepared joint. The intense heat at the white cone of the flame heats up the
local surfaces to fusion point while the operator manipulates a welding rod to supply the metal for the
weld. A flux is being used to remove the slag.
2.1.3 Electric Arc Welding where the work is prepared in the same manner as for gas welding. In this case
the filler metal is supplied by metal welding electrode. The operator, with his eyes and face protected,
strikes an arc by touching the work of base metal with the electrode. The base metal in the path of the
arc stream is melted, forming a pool of molten metal, which seems to be forced out of the pool by the
blast from the arc. A small depression is formed in the base metal and the molten metal is deposited
around the edge of this depression, which is called the arc crater. The slag is brushed off after the joint
has cooled.
2.1.3.1 Un-shielded arc welding - When a large electrode or filler rod is used for welding.
2.1.3.2 Shielded arc welding the welding rods coated with solid material are used.
2.2 Forge Welding - the parts to be jointed are first heated to a proper temperature in a furnace or forge and then
hammered. This method of welding is rarely used now-a-days. An electric-resistance welding is an example of
forge welding.

U. ENGINEERING MATERIALS - LECTURE

1

1. Materials in Manufacturing
1. Metals used in manufacturing are usually alloys, which are composed of two or more elements, with at least one
being a metallic element.
Two Basic Groups of Metals
1.1.1 Ferrous metals are based on iron; the group includes steel and cast iron.
1.1.2 Steel can be defined as an iron-carbon alloy containing 0.02% - 2.11% carbon. Its composition often
includes other alloying elements as well, such as manganese, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, to
enhance the properties of the metal.
1.1.3 Cast-iron is a n alloy of iron and carbon (2% - 4%) used in casting (primarily sand casting). Silicon is also
present in the alloy (in amounts from 0.5% to 3%), and other elements are often added also, to obtain
desirable properties in the cast part.
2. Nonferrous metals include the other metallic elements and their alloys. The nonferrous metals include the
pure metals and alloys of aluminum, copper, gold, magnesium, nickel, silver, tin, titanium, zinc, and other
metals.
3. Ceramics - is defined as a compound containing metallic (or semimetallic) and nonmetallic elements. Typical
nonmetallic elements are oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. Examples are clay. Silica, alumina, silicon carbide,
alumina, tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and boron nitride.
4. Polymer is a compound formed of repeating structural units called mers, whose atoms share electrons to form
very large molecule. Polymers usually consist of carbon plus one or more other elements such as hydrogen,
nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine.
Three categories of Polymers.
4.1 Thermoplastic polymers can be subjected to multiple heating and cooling cycles without substantially
altering the molecular structure of the polymer. Common thermoplastics include polyethylene, polystyrene,
polyvinylchloride, and nylon.
4.2 Thermosetting polymers chemically transform (cure) into a rigid structure upon cooling from a heated
plastic condition. Members of this type include phenollics, amino resins, and epoxies.
4.3 Elastomers are polymers that exhibit significant elastic behavior. They include natural rubber, neoprene,
silicone, and polyurethane.
5. Composites is a material consisting of two or more phases that are processed separately and then bonded
together to achieve properties superior to those of its constituents.

2. Definitions.
Age hardening or precipitation hardening occurs in some metals, notable certain stainless steel, aluminum, and
copper alloys, at ambient temperature after solution heat treatment, the process being one of a constituent
precipitating from a solid solution.

Alloy is a substance with metallic properties, composed of two or more elements of which at least one is a metal.

Alloying elements in steel are usually considered to be the metallic elements added for the purpose of modifying
the properties.
Anisotropy is the characteristic of exhibiting different properties when tested in different directions (as tensile
strength with the grain or across the grain.

Brittleness is a tendency to fracture without appreciable deformation.

Charpy test is one in which a specimen, supported at both ends as a simple beam, is broken by the impact of a
falling pendulum.

2

Cold shortness is brittleness of metals at ordinary or low temperatures.

Cold working is the process of deforming a metal plastically at a temperature below the recrystallization
temperature and at a rate to produce strain hardening.

Damping capacity is the ability of a material to absorb or damp vibrations, which is a process of absorbing kinetic
energy of vibration owing to hysteresis.

Decarburization is a loss of carbon from the surface of steel, occurring during hot rolling, forging, and heat
treating, when surrounding medium reacts with the carbon (as oxygen and carbon combining).

Ductility is that property that permits permanent deformation before fracture in tension.

Ductile material elongation greater than 5% in 2-in. gage.
Brittle material elongation less than 5% in 2-in. gage.

Elasticity is the ability of a material to be deformed and to return to the original shape. Stress is proportional to
strain only during an elastic deformation.

Embrittlement involves the loss of ductility because of a physical or chemical change of the material.

Free carbon is that part of the carbon content of steel or iron that is in the form of graphite or temper carbon.

Hard drawn is a temper produced in a wire, rod, or tube by cold drawing.

Homogeneous materials have the same structure at all points.

Isotropic materials have the same properties in all directions.

Izod test is a test in which a specimen, supported at one end as a cantilever beam, is broken by the impact of a
falling pendulum.

Killed steel is steel that has been deoxidized with a strong deoxidizing agent, such as silicon or aluminum, in order
to eliminate a reaction between the carbon and oxygen during solidification.
Machinability is a materials susceptibility to extreme deformation in rolling or hammering.

Mechanical properties are those that have to do with stress and strain.

Percentage elongation is the extension in the vicinity of the fracture of a tensile specimen, expressed as a
percentage of the original gage length, as 20% in 2 in.

Percentage reduction of area is the smallest area at the point of rupture of a tensile specimen divided by the
original area.

Physical properties exclude mechanical properties and are other physical properties such as density, conductivity,
coefficient of thermal expansion.


3

Plasticity is the ability of a metal to be deformed considerably without rupture.

Poissons ratio is the ratio of the lateral strain (contraction) to the longitudinal strain (extension) when the element
is loaded with a longitudinal tensile force.

Precipitation heat treatment brings about the precipitation of a constituent from a supersaturated solid solution
by holding the body at an elevated temperature, also called artificial aging.
Aging precipitation occurring a ambient temperature.

Proof stress is that stress which causes a specified permanent deformation of a material, usually 0.01% or less.

Red shortness is a brittleness in steel when it is red hot.

Relaxation associated with creep, is the decreasing stress at a constant strain; important for metals in high-
temperature service.

Residual stresses are those not due to applied loads or temperature gradients.

Rimmed steel is incompletely deoxidized steel.

Solution heat treatment is the process of holding an alloy at a suitably high temperature long enough to permit
one or more constituents to pass into solid solution and then cooling fast enough to hold the constituents as a
supersaturated solution.

Stiffness is the ability to resist deformation. It is measured by the elasticity in the elastic range; the higher the
modulus the stiffer is the material.

Strain hardening is increasing the hardness and strength by plastic deformation at temperature lower that the
recrystallization range.
Temper is a condition produced in a non-ferrous metal by mechanical or thermal treatment; for example,
annealed temper (soft), hard temper, spring temper.

Toughness is the capacity of material to withstand a shock load without breaking.

Transverse strength refers to the results of a transverse bend test, the specimen being mounted as a simple beam;
also called rupture modulus.

Work hardening is the same as strain hardening.

Wrought steel is steel that has been hammered, rolled, or drawn in the process of manufacture; it may be plain
carbon or alloy steel..

3. Heat Treatment Terms.
Heat treatment is an operation or combination of operations involving the heating and cooling of metal or an alloy
in the solid state for the purpose of altering the properties of materials.

Aging (and age hardening) is a change in a metal by which its structure recovers from an unstable or metastable
condition that has been produced by quenching or cold working.

4

Annealing is a heating and slow cooling of a solid metal, usually done to soften it.

Critical range has the same meaning as transformation range.

Drawing is often used to mean tempering.

Graphitizing and annealing process causes the combined carbon to transform wholly or in part into graphitic or
free carbon; it is applied to cast iron, sometimes to high-carbon steel.

Hardening is the heating of certain steels above the transformation range and then quenching, for the purpose of
increasing the hardness. In general case, hardening is any process of increasing the hardness of a metal.

Malleablizing is an annealing process whereby combined carbon in white cast iron is transformed wholly or in part
to temper carbomn.

Normalizing is the heating of an iron-base alloy to some 100 F above the transformation range with subsequent
cooling to below that range in still air at room temperature. The purpose is to produce a uniform structure.

Spheroidizing is any heating and cooling of steel that produces a rounded or globular form of carbide.

Stress relieving (thermal) is the heating of a metal body to a suitable temperature (generally just below the
transformation range for steel, say 1100 1200 F) and holding it at that temperature for a suitable time (1 to 3
hours for steel) for the purpose of reducing internal residual stresses. The internal stresses may be present because
the body has been cast, quenched, normalized, machined, cold worked, or welded.

Tempering is a reheating of hardened or normalized steel to a temperature below the transformation range,
followed by any desired rate of cooling.

Transformation range (for ferrous metal) is the temperature interval during which austenite is formed during
heating; it is also the temperature interval during which austenite disappears during cooling.

4. Hardness
Hardness is a measure of its resistance to indentation.

Common Instruments Brinell, Rockwel, Vickers, and Shore scleroscope.

Brinell hardness number (BHN) is determined by a standard pressure (3000 kg. standard, 500 kg. for soft metals)
applied to a 10-mm ball which presses for 10 sec. or more on surface of the material being tested. The load in
kilograms divided by the area of the surface of the indentation in square millimeters is the BHN. Ultimate tensile
stress of steel is approximately 500 x BHN psi.

Rockwell tester is faster than the Brinell and widely used commercially, utilized several different indenters and, in
effect measures the depth of the penetration by the indenter. Rockwell scales Rockwell B, Rockwell C, Rockwell A,
Rockwell D, and Rockwell A.

Rockwell superficial tester is a different machine used for a piece of material too thin for the standard tester.
Rockwell Scales Rockwell N and Rockwell T.

5

Vickers tester has a square-base, diamond pyramid indenter, and the VIckets number Is the load in kilograms
divided by the impressed area in square millimeters.

Shore scleroscope number is obtained by letting a freely falling hammer with a diamond point strike the object to
be tested and measuring the height of rebound. This height is the Shore number.

5. AISI and SAE Specification Numbers.
The first digit (or the first two digits) of the number represents a type of steel, for example:
1XXX is a plain carbon steel.
11XX is a plain carbon steel with greater sulfur content for free-cutting.
2XXX is nickel steel.
The last two digits in four-digit numbers invariably give the approximate or average carbon content in points or
hundredths of percent.
For example.
SAE 1030 or AISI C1030 has about 0.30% carbon, spoken as 30 points of carbon (nominal).

In the AISI system, prefixes have the following meanings:
B acid Bessemer steel;
C basic, open hearth carbon steel,
D acid open-hearth carbon steel,
E electric-furnace steel (usually alloy)
Letter B or L in the middle of the number indicate that boron or lead, respectively, has been added; as 94 B 40 and
11 L 41.

calcium carbonates, especially barium carbonate and charcoal.
8.1.2 Gas carburizing the part is heated in carburizing gases, such as methane, ethane, propane, and CO.
8.1.3 Liquid carburizing the part is immersed in a molten salt bath that imparts a case similar to that
obtained with gas or pack carburizing except that the case is thinner.
2. Cyaniding is accomplished by immersing the part in a hot (about 1550 F) liquid salt bath, sodium cyanide
(NaCN) being a common medium in both processes.

7

3. Nitriding the machined and heat-treated part is placed in a nitrogenous environment, commonly ammonia
gas.
4. Carbonitriding is a process of case hardening steel by the simultaneous absorption of carbon and nitrogen
