Homework Statement
Already calculated:
Tangential Forces :
Pinion A=2850 N
Gear B=2850 N
Pinion C= 8550 N
Gear D= 8550 N
Radial Forces:
Pinion A= 1000 N
Gear B= 1000 N
Pinion C= 9100 N
Gear D= 9100 N
Diameters:
Pinion A= 60mm
Gear B= 180mm
Pinion C= 60mm
Gear D= 200mm
The distances between Gear B and Pinion C for the moment can be said to be X(mm). and the distance between the gears and bearings can be said to be Y(mm).
Homework Equations
Moment = F*d
The Attempt at a Solution
I've attached a picture of how the gears/shaft/bearings are arranged.
My question is how do i calculate the shaft diameter(s)
using the moment formula i know that i can calculate torque for each gear. It would just be the tangential force*the radius of the gear. I have no clue what to do with the radial loads or if I need to calculate any other forces.
any help?
