Exercise 1:
A rigid coupling has a bore diameter of 50 mm. Four
machined bolts on a bolt circle of 125 mm diameter
and fitted in reamed holes. If the bolts are made from
the same material as the shaft, with an ultimate tensile
strength of 550 MPa and a yield point in tension of
345 MPa, determine the necessary size of bolts to have
the same capacity as the shaft in torsion.
Solution:
The shaft capacity is found from:
D3 = (16/s)Tkt
(the shaft equation for a solid shaft in torsion only).
Solution:
to
Solution:
a) The hub diameter (DH ) is established on the basis of proportions.
DH (1.75Ds to 2.0Ds)
Exercise 4:
A flange coupling connects two 50 mm diameter lengths of commercial shafting. The
coupling webs are bolted together with four bolts of the same material as the shaft. The bolts
are set in clearance holes. The diameter of the bolt circle is 240 mm and the web thickness is
22 mm.
a) Determine the minimum bolt diameter required transmitting the same torque that the
shaft can transmit.
b) What power may be transmitted at 200 rev/min under steady state conditions?
Solution:
T = (x s x D3)/16 = (x 40 x 106 x 0.053)/16 = 981.8 N.m.
a) Bolts diameter:
1)- Based upon shear:
Assume uniform shear:
T = s x (x db2)/4 x (DBc/2) x (n/2)
