Design of a rigid flanged coupling
Design of a rigid flanged coupling
A rigid flanged coupling connects two 50 mm diameter shafts transmitting 100 KW
and running at 10 rev/s. the coupling has the following specifications:
“Type of service:- light shocks (serves factor = 1.2)
*Number of bolts: 4
*Diameter of hub: 1.5 shaft diameter
*Material of shafts:- 0.25%C carbon steel (S,=520MPa , S,=450MPa)
*Material of keys:- 0.30%C CDA steel (Sy=420MPa , Sb=380MPa)
+Material of flanges: 0.20%C cast carbon steel (Sy=385MPa , Sb=370MPa)
Material of bolts: class 5.8 medium- carbon steel, (Sy=395 MPa , Sb=300 MPa)
Considering the bolts to fit the holes with clearance [“only three bolts are loaded]:
1. Check stresses in the shaft
2. Determine the diameter of bolts.
3. Check stresses in the keys. (Safety factor > 1.5)
Guide dimensions: Key length = 1.5 dyyan, Width = djan/4 and thickness = djaa/6
4. Check stresses in the flanges.
5.Draw a fully dimensioned constructional drawing for the coupling.Design-1 Sheet 2
Knuckle Joint & Cotter Joint
a) Knuckle Joint:-
Design the knuckle joint shown in fig.1 to withstand a load of 30 KN. The yoke and
rod are made of cold-drawn carbon steel 0.4%C having 600 MPa yield strength.
The pin is made of cold-drawn carbon steel 0.3%C having 520 MPa yield strength.
Use a factor of safety of 2 for all components. note that (surface factor 1.5).
