    Design of Flexible Coupling

    Uploaded by

    The document describes the design of a flexible coupling including the shaft, key, hub, flange, and pin components. Key dimensions are set using standard relations for width, height, and length. The key and hub undergo shear stresses that are checked against allowable values. The hub diameter is twice the shaft diameter. Flange thickness is set at 0.5 times the shaft diameter. Pins are sized based on shaft diameter and their stresses are checked. Overall dimensions like flange outer diameter are also set in relation to other components.

    Design of Flexible Coupling.

    Design of Shaft.
    The shaft Undergoes Torsional Shear stress .
    The diameter of the shaft can be calculated by
    τmax=16T/πd3
    Design of Key
    The Dimension of the Key are set by using Standard
    Relation’s.

    Width of key w=d/4


    Height of Key h=2/3*w or h=w
    Length of Key l=1.5d
    The Key undergoes Direct Shear Stress as well as Crushing
    Stress and the Key needs to be checked for the Same.

    Check for Shear Stress

    τd=2T(d*w*l)

    Check for Shear Stress

    σc=4T/(d*h*l)
    Design of Hub
    The Dimensions of the Hub are set using Standard Relations.

    Outer Diameter “D” D=2d

    Length of Hub “L” Length of Hub = Length of


    Key
    The Hub undergoes Torsional Shear Stress and the Dimensions needs
    to be checked for the same.

    Check for Torsional Shear Stress

    τh=16T/πD3[1-k4]
    where k=d/D

    For Safety τh < τall


    Design of Flange
    The thickness of Flange and of Protective Flange are set by using
    Standard Relations.

    Thickness of Flange tf=0.5d


    Thickness of Protective Flange tp=0.25d
    The Flange Undergoes Direct Shear Stress and Needs to be Checked for
    the same.

    Check for Direct Shear Stress

    τf=2T/πD2tf

    For Safety τf < τall


    Design of Pin
    The dimensions of the Pin are Set Using Standard relation’s.

    Number of Pins n n=3 for d less than 30mm


    n=4 for 30 < d ≤75
    n=6 for 75< d ≤110
    n=8 for 80< d ≤150

    Nominal Dia of Pin dp dp=


    Dia0.5d/(n) 1/2 d
    of Enlarged portion d1= db+4mm
    1
    Outer Dia of Rubber Bush d2 d2=d1+16
    D1
    Bolt Circle Dia

    D1=D+d2+(2*8)
    Length of Bush in Flange Pb
    Pb=2T/(nD1d2lb)
    The Pin’s need to be checked for Max Shear Stress and Max
    Principal Stress.

    Max Shear Stress τmax=[(σb/2)2+τb2]1/2

    Max Principal Stress. σmax=(σb/2)+


    [(σb/2)2+τb2]1/2

    σb = {32*F*(lb/2)+5}/∏db3 F = T/[n*(D1/2)]

    τb = F/[π * db2 /4]

    For Safety τmax < τall


    Outer Diameter of Flange D2 D2=(2D1 - D)
