TOOLS / MACHINE DESIGNCATEGORY 03
Machine design.
Engineered.
Gears, shafts, bearings, keyed connections and practical preliminary design checks for mechanical engineers. MD-001, MD-002 and MD-003 are available as beta workspaces.
IN THIS CATEGORY
Design, check, review.
Machine-design workspaces expose the assumptions and calculation path behind each result. Beta tools remain preliminary engineering and require verification against the applicable project requirements, standards and manufacturer data.
Gear & shaft design workspace
Explore preliminary 20° spur-gear geometry, parallel-shaft gearbox ratios and idealized shaft stress, deflection and speed checks with SI/imperial units.
Bearing life & selection check
Check variable-duty equivalent bearing load, ISO 281-style basic and modified rating life, required dynamic rating for a target life, and static safety with explicit catalogue factors.
Hub, key & shaft connection
Check a single parallel-key torque connection for key shear, bearing pressure, required effective length, torque capacity, nominal shaft torsion and hub/keyway geometry.
