Abstract
In order to avoid easy failure of the screw conveyor, this article obtained part analysis based on load distribution under working conditions and gained equivalent stress and deformation under several load conditions by using ANSYS Workbench 14.0 platform to check the strength of worm conveyor shaft. The material selection was done using Granta CES Edupack, 2011. From the analysis, the maximum equivalent von mises stress was found to be 5.9372*107Pa and total deformation was found to be 8.53*10-4m. The method and results from this study can provide reference for the design and improvement of screw tapered conveyor.
