Force on Key Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Force on Key = 2*Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft/Diameter of Shaft using Key
F = 2*Mt/ds
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Force on Key - (Measured in Newton) - Force on Key is the reaction onto the key of a machined assembly.
Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft is defined as the amount of torque or the rotating power transferred from a shaft using a key into it.
Diameter of Shaft using Key - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Shaft using Key is defined as the external surface diameter of a shaft (a rotating machine element) using a key into it.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft: 224500 Newton Millimeter --> 224.5 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Shaft using Key: 45 Millimeter --> 0.045 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
F = 2*Mt/ds --> 2*224.5/0.045
Evaluating ... ...
F = 9977.77777777778
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
9977.77777777778 Newton --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
9977.77777777778 9977.778 Newton <-- Force on Key
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Go Compressive Stress in Key = 2*Shear Stress in Key

Force on Key Formula

Force on Key = 2*Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft/Diameter of Shaft using Key
F = 2*Mt/ds

Define a Square Key

They have a square or rectangular cross-section. Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced keys are used for shaft diameters over 6.5 in (170 mm) or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue. Set screws often accompany parallel keys to lock the mating parts into place.
