The shaft must withstand the torque transmitted from the motor to the impeller. agitator design calculation xls
Torque ($\tau$): $$\tau = \fracP2 \cdot \pi \cdot N$$ | Cell Ref | Parameter | Value |
Shaft Diameter ($d$): Assuming a solid shaft and using the shear stress formula: agitator design calculation xls
$$d = \left( \frac16 \cdot \tau\pi \cdot S_s \right)^1/3$$
Where $S_s$ is the allowable shear stress of the shaft material (e.g., Stainless Steel 316 typically $\approx 40-60$ MPa).
