2. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(engineering)

   For a key to function, the shaft and rotating machine element must have a keyway and a keyseat, which is a slot and pocket in which the key fits. The whole system is called a keyed joint. [1] [2] A keyed joint may allow relative axial movement between the parts. Commonly keyed components include gears, pulleys, couplings, and washers.

3. Drum motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_motor

   The shaft can be a single “through” shaft where the motor and gearbox are assembled on, and fixed to, the shaft with keys or pins. However, this type of drum motor design has a limited maximum radial load due to the bending stresses caused by the normal belt tension of a conveyor and is therefore used mainly for small light duty conveyors ...

4. Pulley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

   A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft enabling a taut cable or belt passing over the wheel to move and change direction, or transfer power between itself and a shaft. A sheave or pulley wheel is a pulley using an axle supported by a frame or shell ( block ) to guide a cable or exert force.

5. Line shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_shaft

   A line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century. Prior to the widespread use of electric motors small enough to be connected directly to each piece of machinery, line shafting was used to distribute power from a large central power source ...

6. Set screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_screw

   In American English, a set screw is a screw that is used to secure an object, by pressure and/or friction, within or against another object, such as fixing a pulley or gear to a shaft. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A set screw is normally used without a nut (which distinguishes it from a bolt ), being screwed instead in a threaded hole drilled in only one of the ...

7. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

   The following stresses are induced in the shafts. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load). Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft. Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.
