Shaft Diameter given Force on Key Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Diameter of Shaft using Key - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Shaft using Key is defined as the external surface diameter of a shaft (a rotating machine element) using a key into it.
Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft is defined as the amount of torque or the rotating power transferred from a shaft using a key into it.
Force on Key - (Measured in Newton) - Force on Key is the reaction onto the key of a machined assembly.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft: 224500 Newton Millimeter --> 224.5 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Force on Key: 9980 Newton --> 9980 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_s = 2*M_t/F --> 2*224.5/9980

Evaluating ... ...

d_s = 0.0449899799599198

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0449899799599198 Meter -->44.9899799599198 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

44.9899799599198 ≈ 44.98998 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Shaft using Key

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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.
