This work present the optimization analysis of transfer coal conveyor shaft and modification in sprocket structure. An investigation will be performed to determine the failure root cause and factors affecting on transfer coal conveyor shaft. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) will also perform to quantify the stress distribution in the shaft. Thus the strength of shaft is to be important parameter to be taken into account while designing. The 3D model is prepared by using CATIA pre-processing and post-processing is prepared by using Ansys workbench. The load and boundary condition were applied in Ansys as per shaft mounting on conveyor. This process helps in finding the optimized design for the shaft in which it has the best performance without any failure. Optimization of shaft was carried out by selecting better material for weight reduction and better strength. FEA also be carried out on optimized design of the shaft to check whether the optimized design is safe or not. FE Analysis has done using model and shaft deformation test carried out on Universal testing machine to validate analysis results.
