Standard sizes of Shafts and Materials
Typical sizes of solid shaft that are available in the market are
Up to 25 mm 0.5 mm increments
25 to 50 mm 1.0 mm increments
50 to 100 mm 2.0 mm increments
100 to 200 mm 5.0 mm increments
Material for Shafts are
ferrous, non-ferrous materials and non metals
depending on the application.
Some ferrous materials used in shafts are
Hot-rolled plain carbon steel
Cold-drawn plain carbon/alloy composition
Alloy steels

n = 1.0 for hinged end
n = 2.25 for fixed end
n = 1.6 for ends partly restrained, as in bearing
K = least radius of gyration, L = shaft length
