Exercises Problem No. 2 Keys and Coupling-1

This document provides an example problem on sizing the components of a flange coupling connecting two 1 7/16 inch shafts. The problem involves determining: (1) the diameter of the bolts in mm, given they are arranged in a 5 inch bolt circle and must withstand a torque of 8000 lb-in at 350 rpm with a safety factor of 5; (2) the thickness of the flange in mm; and (3) the power transmitted in kW. Formulas are provided and calculations are shown to solve for each unknown value.

Problem:

Two 1 7/16 in shafts are connected by a flange coupling. The flanges are fitted with 6
bolts of SAE 1020 steel annealed on a 5 in bolt circle. The shafts run at 350 rpm and
transmits 8000 lb-in. Assume a factor of safety of 5 and determine:

a. Diameter of the bolt in mm;

b. Thickness of the flange in mm and

c. Power transmitted in kW.
