Crushing Strength of Key Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tangential Force = (Length of Key)*(Thickness of Key/2)*Crushing Stress in Key
F = (l)*(t/2)*f_c
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Tangential Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Tangential force is the force that acts on a moving body in the direction of a tangent to the curved path of the body.
Length of Key - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Key is defined as the length of the key which is used to prevent rotation of a machine component or it is the major dimension of the key.
Thickness of Key - (Measured in Meter) - The thickness of key is usually taken equal to one-sixth of diameter of shaft.
Crushing Stress in Key - (Measured in Pascal) - Crushing Stress in Key for the material is double the permissible shear stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Key: 35 Millimeter --> 0.035 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Key: 0.2 Millimeter --> 0.0002 Meter (Check conversion here)
Crushing Stress in Key: 14.8 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 14800000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = (l)*(t/2)*f_c --> (0.035)*(0.0002/2)*14800000

Evaluating ... ...

F = 51.8

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

51.8 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

51.8 Newton <-- Tangential Force

What is Compressive Strength?

Compressive strength is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (as opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate). In other words, compressive strength resists compression (being pushed together), whereas tensile strength resists tension (being pulled apart). In the study of strength of materials, tensile strength, compressive strength, and shear strength can be analyzed independently.

How to Calculate Crushing Strength of Key?

Crushing Strength of Key calculator uses Tangential Force = (Length of Key)*(Thickness of Key/2)*Crushing Stress in Key to calculate the Tangential Force, The Crushing Strength of Key formula is defined as the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads on circumference of shaft. Tangential Force is denoted by F symbol.

How to calculate Crushing Strength of Key using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Crushing Strength of Key, enter Length of Key (l), Thickness of Key (t) & Crushing Stress in Key (f_c) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Crushing Strength of Key calculation can be explained with given input values -> 51.8 = (0.035)*(0.0002/2)*14800000.
