# Shaft deflection and bearing slope # Scope: Simply supported solid circular shaft with central point load. # Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending. # Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards. load = 100 N length = 300 mm diameter = 15 mm modulus = 200 GPa inertia := pi*diameter^4/64 [mm^4] deflection := load*length^3/(48*modulus*inertia) [mm] check deflection budget: deflection <= 0.2 mm scenario alternative: load = 80 N
