Overview
The following investigation involves two analysis methods in order to identify a suitable design of a shaft to suit the chain drive to a mixer.
Approach
With the low shaft deflection and angular misalignment while also operating under high speeds, the spherical roller bearings are valid for selection.
Furthermore, the design operates under low axial and radial load on the shaft, hence reasoning the selection.
The plummer block is indicated with the diametre of 85mm from the catalogue. The shaft has two bearings. We use this selected 85 diametre as is corresponds to the shaft specifications or design that has been calculated of 81.22mm and 1500mm.
