• A ½-inch shaft transmits 5 hp at 1750 rpm. (From Table 15-1, for 1/2-inch shafting, the key is 1/8 x 1/8 inch)
• The shaft is made from cold-drawn 1040 steel; hub is made from hot-rolled – Determine the length of the key for shear:
1213 steel; and a cold-drawn 1020 steel key is to be used.

• A straight-sided spline like the one shown in • A straight-sided spline like the one shown in Figure 15-4 has the following dimensions:
–D = 1 inch
Figure 15-4 has the following dimensions: – 6 splines
–D = 1 inch – d = .810 inch
• Determine torque capacity if system is made from 1020 steel as in previous example

Flexible coupling Flexible couplings
Misalignment is attributed to
Lack of perfect collinearity of bearing support
housings due to the manufacturing tolerances
Shaft bending deflection under load
Use of two separately mounted units, such as
coupling a motor shaft to a pump shaft
