Force on Key Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Force on Key = 2*Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft/Diameter of Shaft using Key
F = 2*M_t/d_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Force on Key - (Measured in Newton) - The Force on Key is the load applied to a key in a mechanical assembly, crucial for ensuring proper engagement and transmission of torque between components.
Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft - (Measured in Newton Meter) - The Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft is the rotational force transferred through a keyed connection, essential for ensuring reliable power transmission in mechanical systems.
Diameter of Shaft using Key - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter of Shaft using Key is the measurement across the widest part of a shaft that accommodates a key for secure attachment and torque transmission.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft: 224500 Newton Millimeter --> 224.5 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Shaft using Key: 44.98998 Millimeter --> 0.04498998 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = 2*M_t/d_s --> 2*224.5/0.04498998

Evaluating ... ...

F = 9979.99999110913

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9979.99999110913 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9979.99999110913 ≈ 9980 Newton <-- Force on Key

Define a Square Key

They have a square or rectangular cross-section. Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced keys are used for shaft diameters over 6.5 in (170 mm) or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue. Set screws often accompany parallel keys to lock the mating parts into place.
