The paper presents the methodology for designing the drive shaft of the injection pump for diesel engines with cylinder numbers of 2, 3, 4, 6 and power from 2,5 kW to 52 kW per cylinder using the finite element method (FEM) and experimental research. The pump is the original solution of the authors. The shaft is the basic part of the pump with a complex structure. In order to assess the state of stress in the shaft, the analytical FEM was used and experimental tests were carried out, subjecting the shaft to twisting with the design torque resulting from the transferred power. Experimental research confirmed the results of numerical calculations and the correctness of the adopted solution. In order to evaluate the maximum load capacity of the shaft, destructive tests were carried out, charging it with increasing torque until visible plastic deformations occurred. This condition occurred at a time twice as high as the maximum anticipated moment in operation. |
