6. A) It is required to design a rigid type of flange coupling to connect two shafts.
The input shaft transmits 37.5 kW power at 180 rpm to the output shaft through the
coupling. The service factor for the application is 1.5, i.e. the design torque is 1.5
times of rated torque. Select suitable materials for various parts of the coupling,
design the coupling and specify the dimensions of its components. (OR)
B) Design a protective type of cast iron flange coupling for a steel shaft
transmitting 15kW at 200 rpm and having an allowable shear stress of 40
N/rnm2. The working stress in the bolt should not exceed 30 N/mm 2. Assume
that the same material is used for shaft and key that the crushing stress is twice
the value of its shear stress. The maximum torque is 25% greater than the full
load torque. The shear stress for cast iron is 14 N/mm 2.
7. A) Design a bushed-pin type of flexible coupling to connect a pump shaft to a
motor shaft transmitting 30 kW at 900 rpm. The overall torque is 15% more than
mean torque. The material allowable properties are as follows : σ (in crushing for
shaft and key material) = 80 MPa τ (in shear for shaft and key material) = 40 MPa
τ (in shear for cast iron) = 15 MPa. Bearing pressure for rubber bush = 0.8 MPa

effective length of bush, the gap between two flanges and the length of
the pin in contact with right hand flange are 35, 5 and 23 mm
respectively. The permissible shear and bending stresses in the pin are
35 and 152 N/mm2 respectively. Calculate Pin diameter by shear
consideration, bending consideration.

B) Design a Clamp or compression coupling for a shaft to transmit
30KW at 100 rpm. The allowable shear stress for the shaft and key is
40 MPa and the number of bolts connecting the two halves are 4. The
permissible tensile stress for the bolts material is 70 MPa. The

shear is 350 MPa, find size of the spring wire, diameter of
spring, number of turns of spring and free length of the
spring. The compression of the spring at the maximum load is
30mm.take G=80KN/mm2.
