Abstract

This reviewed paper looked at mechanical shaft as one of the major components in any agricultural rotating machines, agricultural products processing equipment, and other agricultural machineries such as oil expeller for processing oil producing agricultural seed, dehulling machines of seeds, and tractors. Types of mechanical shafts considered are, line, jack, flexible, axle, and stub shafts. Also discussed are the functions of mechanical shafts which are not limited to transmission of power and torque, design considerations which are not limited to length of the shaft and material selection. Finally design analyses for shaft power, diameter, and shaft stresses enumerated and defined.
