This type of shaft if i am not mistaken is classified as a line shaft which states that a max twist is 3deg/m or is it considered a machine tool shaft which has a max twist of 0.3deg/m.

If i understand correctly my torque below the radial gate is correct(14000N/m)and my shaft below the is to small do you suggest i use a hollow shaft. What is the ideal(max angle of twist allowable).

The calculation you have shown i presume is for the torque directly below the load, I get 14000N/m torque my next question if my shaft point of force is approximately 2905mm from direct load applied will my shaft as i have calculated it increase from 125mm which is strong enough to...
Thanks for the ideas, the bin is a fixed structure the radial gate is the moving parts, where could i possibly find a calculation to determine the forces required over the shaft lengh shown.
Just for info, i am erecting a 200mt bin on a dump,we discovered after a geotechnical investigation the soil was 5.4 below NGL and doing a cost comparison for the client it was found that to do a large engineered soil raft below the RC raft was 1.6 times more expensive that piling down 8 x 500kn...
HI DESERT FOX
mY APOLOGIES PLEASE FIND ATTACHED THE SENARIO AS DESCIBED IN MY LAST THREADhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=145717db-ab97-4ad9-845d-1da22a0bf5b3&file=RADIAL_GATE.pdf
I am designing a radial gate for coal discard bin that is going to be driven by a hydraulic cylider that is connect to a shaft arrangemnt. I am looking for the formulae (metric) to determing the force that needs to be exerted by the cylinder on the lever arm to rotate the radial gate 55 degrees...
