    This document describes flanged bolt couplings, which transmit torque through shearing forces in bolts. It provides equations to calculate the torque capacity of couplings based on factors like the number of bolts, bolt diameter, bolt circle diameter, shear stress allowance, and whether there is a single or double row of bolts. Several examples are included to demonstrate how to use the equations to determine the maximum torque or shear stress in specific coupling configurations.

    Flanged Bolt Couplings

    Flanged Bolt Couplings


    In shaft connection called flanged bolt
    couplings (see figure below), the torque is
    transmitted by the shearing force P created in
    the bolts that is assumed to be uniformly
    distributed.

    Flanged Bolt Couplings


    For any number of bolts n, the torque capacity of
    the coupling is
    If a coupling has two concentric rows of bolts, the
    torque capacity is

    where the subscript 1 refer to bolts on the outer


    circle an subscript 2 refer to bolts on the inner
    circle.

    Flanged Bolt Couplings


    For rigid flanges, the shear deformations in
    the bolts are proportional to their radial
    distances from the shaft axis. The shearing
    strains are related by

    Using Hookes law for shear, G = / , we have

    Flanged Bolt Couplings


    If the bolts on the two circles have the same
    area, A1 = A2, and if the bolts are made of the
    same material, G1 = G2, the relation between
    P1 and P2 reduces to

    Example 10.1
    A flanged bolt coupling consists of ten 20mmdiameter bolts spaced evenly around a
    bolt circle 400 mm in diameter. Determine the
    torque capacity of the coupling if the
    allowable shearing stress in the bolts is 40
    MPa.

    Example 10.2
    A flanged bolt coupling consists of ten steel
    1/2 -in.-diameter bolts spaced evenly around
    a bolt circle 14 in. in diameter. Determine the
    torque capacity of the coupling if the
    allowable shearing stress in the bolts is 6000
    psi.

    Example 10.3
    A flanged bolt coupling consists of eight 10mmdiameter steel bolts on a bolt circle 400
    mm in diameter, and six 10-mm-diameter
    steel bolts on a concentric bolt circle 300 mm
    in diameter, as shown on the figure. What
    torque can be applied without exceeding a
    shearing stress of 60 MPa in the bolts?

    Example 10.4
    A torque of 700 lb-ft is to be carried by a
    flanged bolt coupling that consists of eight
    1/2-in.-diameter steel bolts on a circle of
    diameter 12 in. and six 1/2 -in.-diameter steel
    bolts on a circle of diameter 9 in. Determine
    the shearing stress in the bolts.

    Example 10.5
    Determine the number of 10-mm-diameter
    steel bolts that must be used on the 400-mm
    bolt circle of the coupling described in
    Example 10.3 to increase the torque capacity
    to 14 kNm

    Example 10.6
    A flanged bolt coupling consists of six 1/2-in.
    steel bolts evenly spaced around a bolt circle
    12 in. in diameter, and four 3/4 -in. aluminum
    bolts on a concentric bolt circle 8 in. in
    diameter. What torque can be applied without
    exceeding 9000 psi in the steel or 6000 psi in
    the aluminum? Assume Gst = 12 106 psi and
    Gal = 4 106 psi.
