If you were to make a hollow shaft with the following dimensions, how would you do it?
OD - 65.000mm/64.95mm
ID - 56mm/54mm
Length ~ 500mm
There will be no bearings directly run on said shafts. The shafts will be under approximately 50-60 MPa of stress and will be rotating at 2000 RPM.
I have thought about gun drilling a 7075 round and finishing it on a lathe, but is their a cheaper alternative? Nothing is touching the inner bore, it just needs to exceed ~52mm for clearance. I would like to use 7075 or 2024 if aluminum is available. 4xxx series steels are probably my next choice.
Thanks for your help guys.
