1.0 Abstract
Machine design is a subject that helps students to study about the theory of machine and
design the mechanism. In this course, we are requested to do a group project. In this project,
students are given a task a single cylinder, two stroke engine is coupled through a clutch to a
gear set to reduce the engine speed and boost its torque appropriately. The 2.5hp gasoline line
engine is governed at 3800rpm. The engine mounted on a base with its output shaft connected
2

[The Overhead Crane Gearbox]

via a clutch to the input shaft of a gearbox. The gear box contains a single gear set to reduce
the high engine speed to a lower one for the compressor. The required gear ration is
1500:3800 or 0.39:1. The output shaft from the gear box is connected via a coupling to the
crankshaft of the compressor. The shaft in gear box housing are carried in suitable bearings.
In order to investigate the mechanism, knowledge that we learn in static, dynamic
mechanic of material, theory of machine is used. We start with the design of the housing and
determine the length of the shaft. With that, we can then determine the factor of safety of the
shaft. After we got all the data and values, we can start to design the gear, bearing and the
key. Then, we can determine that the output key is the weakest.
Other than manual calculation, some computer program also being used to make to
progression of work faster. Those computer programs that used by student are programs that
we learned before. We used Microsoft Excel in our calculation, PTC Creo Parametric for the
design and drawing of the gears, shaft, bearings and also the housing. With the help of these
software, we can get more accurate results and a better design of the gear-box.

2.0 Objective
The objective of the project is to allow us to have a chance to design a suitable
dimension for a gear-box that suit to be used in a Single Girder Overhead Crane Gear-Box. A
good or a poor design is depends on the safety factor. When the safety factor is too low, the
mechanism will reach failure and break. Thus, in order to achieve a successful designing of
mechanism, the mechanism must have a safety factor of 1 or higher than 1.
Other that designs the dimension, another objective of this experiment is to use spur
gears for all of the drive components in the gear-box, weight and size of the gear box should
be minimal and compact and then design life of the gearbox is 10 years in continuous operation .

3.0 Introduction
The portable air compressor is one of the most effective, cost efficient and versatile
machines which is used for many applications where highly pressurized air is required. They
can be used for various construction tasks, maintenance tasks, automotive repairs, etc. A
portable air compressor will provide you the flexibility to accomplish your projects regardless
of your location.
3

[The Overhead Crane Gearbox]

The portable air compressors are available in wide range of sizes and shapes. The
smaller models are light and can be easily carried, while the larger models are featured with
wheels in order to be moved from one job site to another. Which size and shape will better fit
your needs, will depend on your applications. For example, for inflating tires or for using nail
guns, a lightweight, oil-free portable air compressor will do the job. However, if your
applications are more demanding, like powering a frame nail gun, then a more powerful
portable air compressor is recommended. A wheelbarrow model with 15-20 litres tank will be
capable to provide the required air flow for your project.
Cordless portable air compressors are also available on the market. These devices
provide even more versatility. They are equipped with rechargeable batteries. The batteries
can be recharged by a cord, or they need to be taken out in order to be recharged.
Furthermore, some models are capable to run by using DC power generated from a vehicle.
This option makes them extremely convenient, because they can be used on remote places
with no power outlets. Just keep in mind that your car or other vehicle is needed in order the
generator to run smoothly.
Although the portable air compressors offer flexibility and versatility, they cannot
deliver the same performance like the stationary air compressors. For example, the large air
compressors are capable to accomplish tasks faster and easier, while the portable air
compressors may take longer. However, the portable air compressor offers other benefits like
low operating costs and less maintenance.
The price of the portable air compressor can vary depending on the size and the power
capacity. Other features such as flashlight and flashing emergency lights which warn others to
keep away, can also increase the price. Noted the final choice should not be based only on the
price, pay attention on other important things, like components, design, and service support.

4.0 Gear
Spur Gear
a

Introduction of Spur Gear

Spur gears, unlike helical gears, have their teeth cut at an angle to the hole (axis)
rather than straight and parallel to the hole. Spur gear is the most common type of
gear used. It is used for transmitting power between two parallel shafts. In this type of
4

[The Overhead Crane Gearbox]

gear, the teeth cut on the cylindrical face are parallel to the axis of the gear. In a spur
gear drive, the smaller gear is called pinion and the larger one is called gear. When
designing a spur gear drive, the pinion is made harder than the gear. This is because,
the pinion has to run more no. of cycles when compared to the gear. By referring
figure below that can understand this well.
Spur Gear

Figure 1: example of spur gear

Though several types of profiles can be used for cutting teeth on a spur gear, we
commonly use involute teeth profile. The gear found in the image above uses an
involute tooth profile. A spur gear drive is a combination of two spur gears properly
meshed with each other. It is used for transmitting rotational motion between parallel
shafts. It offers a definite velocity ratio. From our research article about gears,

If the driving gear is smaller the than the driven gear, then rotating velocity is
reduced in the driven gear. If the driving gear is larger than the driven gear, rotational
velocity is increased in the driven gear. If both the driving and driven gears have the
same number of teeth, there is no change in the rotational velocity. In the image
above, both the gears have the same number of teeth. Hence, their velocity ratio is one
and they rotate at same speeds.

Advantages and disadvantages of spur gear

5

[The Overhead Crane Gearbox]

Advantages
Spur gears have high power transmission efficiency.
They are compact and easy to install.
They offer constant velocity ratio.
Unlike belt drives, spur gear drives have no slip.
Spur gears are highly reliable.
They can be used to transmit large amount of power (of the order of 50,000

kW).
Disadvantages
Spur gear drives are costly when compared to belt drives.
They have a limited centre distance. This is because in a spur gear drive, the

gears should be meshed and they should be in direct contact with each other.
Spur gears produce a lot of noise when operating at high speeds.
They cannot be used for long distance power transmission.
Gear teeth experience a large amount of stress.

c) Dimension for spur gear

Diameter for helical pinion is 5cm.

Diameter for helix gear is 15cm.

d) Material

Material that used for helical gear are hardness steel.

e) Problem statement

Difficult to choose which type of gear used in overhead crane.

We find is hard to calculate a gear dimension which capable to the load given
such as no of teeth, diameter, and pitch diameter.

5.0 Shaft
5.1Introduction
Shaft was used as rotating element in gearbox that usually circular in cross section,
which is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces
power to a machine which absorbs power. In this project, we have pinion shaft to transmit
power to output shaft as it was single stage gear reduction that only used two shafts. Shaft
selection was select based on gear selection that was found by the information given. After
analyze the material, the best material we choose for shaft was AISI No. 1020 Cold Drawn
6

as it was inexpensive steel and it was surface hardening include carburizing as it was typical
material for shaft [1]. Here it was the selection we made:

Factor of safety of the shaft was estimated to be 2 as the key must be the lowest in
factor of safety. The shaft diameter was been calculated to get the real dimension of the shaft
that can stand the force coming from gear and bearing.

5.2 Shaft Design and Analysis

A shaft is that the part of a mechanical device that transmits rotational motion and
power. It is integral to any mechanical system during which power is transmitted from a
major mover, like an electrical motor or an engine, to other rotating components of the
system. There are several examples of mechanical systems incorporating rotating components
that transmit power: gear-type speed reducers, belt or chain drives, conveyors, pumps, fans,
agitators, house appliances, field maintenance instrumentality, and components of a
automobile, power tools, machines around an workplace and lots of forms of automation
equipment.
Visualize the forces, torques, and bending moments that are created within the shaft
throughout operation. Within the method of transmittal power at a given rotational speed, the
shaft is inherently subjected to a torsional moment, or torque. Thus, torsional shear stress is
developed within the shaft. Also, a shaft typically carries power-transmitting elements, like
gears, belt sheaves, or chain sprockets, which exert forces on the shaft within the transversal
direction (perpendicular to its axis). These transversal forces cause bending moments to be
7

[The Overhead Crane Gearbox]

developed within the shaft, requiring analysis of the strain as a result of bending. In fact, most
shafts should be analysed for combined stress.
Because of the synchronous incidence of torsional shear stresses and normal stresses
because of bending, the stress analysis of a shaft just about continuously involves the
utilization of a combined stress approach. The suggested approach for shaft design and
analysis is that the distortion energy theory of failure. Vertical shear stresses and direct
normal stresses as a result of axial loads additionally occur occasionally, however they
generally have such a tiny low result that they will be neglected. On terribly short shafts or on
parts of shafts wherever no bending or torsion happens, such stresses could also be dominant.

5.5 Shaft Design Issues

Geometry (stepped cylindrical geometry)
Loading
Stress and Deflection (Strength and rigidity)

5.6 Shaft Design Guidelines

Keep shafts short and minimize cantilever designs.
Hollow shafts have better stiffness/mass ratios, but are more expensive.
Configure shaft geometry to reduce stress concentrations.
Remember that gear can produce radial, tangential, and axial loads.
Be aware of maximum shaft deflection requirements of bearings.
Shaft natural frequency should be as high as practical.

5.7 Shaft geometry

Shafts usually carries with it series of stepped diameters accommodating bearing mounts and
providing shoulders for locating devices, like gears, sprockets and pulleys to butt up against
and keys are typically accustomed stop rotation, relative to the shaft, of those added parts.

6.0 Keys and Keyways

Keys are used on shafts to secure rotating elements, such as gears, pulleys or other
wheels. Keys are used to enable the transmission of torque from the shaft to the shaftsupported element. There are few types of key which are Gib-head key and Woodruff key that
comes in either square or round shape of key. The shaft diameter determines standard sizes
for width, height and key depth. The key length must be chooses properly to carry the
torsional load. Failure of the key can be by direct shear or by bearing stress. The maximum
length of a key is limited by the hub length of the attached element.
Excessive safety factors should be avoided in key design, since it is desirable in an
overload situation for the key to fail, rather than more costly components. In this project, we
decided to take the factor safety of 1.2 for key. The material for key is AISI No. 1045 ColdDrawn.

[The Overhead Crane Gearbox]

Figure 3: type of key

7.0 Arrangement of Bearing

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only
the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. The design of
the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the
moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis or it may prevent a
motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving
parts.
In this case, we decided to choose the angular contact bearing as this
type of bearing are commonly used in small wheels and hard drives. The
contact points between ball and the outer race is very small due to small
spherical shape of bearing and this will lead the bearing to spin smoothly. In
this project, the bearing was designed according to the reaction force that
have been calculated from the input and output shaft.

8.0 Housing

The final process of the gearbox design involves the design of a gearbox. Gearbox housing
provides structural support for bearings, shafts and gears. Gearbox has been calculated to
make every part being suitable and it be necessary with objective of this project.

BEARING ANALYSIS
The next step in making a simple gear system is to determine the perfect
bearing for the input and output shaft, with a realibilty of 99%. The problem
specifies a design life of 87600h. The shaft speed is 389 rev/min. The choosen
bearing is single row 02-Series with angular contact bearing.

Input shaft
1) Determining Reaction Force:
Wt= 250N
Wr= (Wt ) tan 20
= 250 tan 20
= 91N

M A =W r ( 140 mm ) + RBY ( 200 mm )

91 N140 mm
200 mm

RBY =63.7 N

F Y =W t + R BY + R AY
91 N 63.7 N

R AY =27.3 N

M A =W t ( 140 mm ) + RBZ ( 200 mm )

250 N140 mm

RBZ =175 N

F Y =W t + R BZ+ R AZ
250 N 175 N
R AZ =75 N
R A @ B =( R A @ B ,Y )2+( R A @ B , Z )2
At point A
RAY= 27.3N
RAZ= 75N
RA = 79.8N
