    This document provides examples of designing keys and couplings for shafts transmitting power: 1. A key connecting a 30mm shaft transmitting 80MPa shear stress is designed not to exceed 50MPa stress with a length 4 times the width. 2. A key is selected for a 25mm shaft transmitting 30kW at 600rpm, using material with 650MPa tensile and 353MPa yield strengths and a safety factor of 3. 3. A muff coupling connecting shafts transmitting 60kW at 150rpm is designed using safety factors of 5 and given material strengths.

    Tutorial- : Design of Keys & Couplings


    (Not for submission)

    1. A shaft 30 mm diameter is transmitting power at a maximum shear stress of 80 MPa.


    If a pulley is connected to the shaft by means of a key, find the dimensions of the
    key so that the stress in the key is not to exceed 50 MPa and length of the key is 4
    times the width.
    2. A steel shaft has a diameter of 25 mm. The shaft rotates at a speed of 600 rpm and
    transmits 30 kW through a gear. The tensile and yield strength of the material of
    shaft are 650 MPa and 353 MPa respectively. Taking a factor of safety 3, select a
    suitable key for the gear. Assume that the key and shaft are made of the same
    material.
    3. A driving shaft is joined with coaxial driven shaft through a muff coupling. The
    shaft transmits 60 kW of power at 150 rpm. Design the shaft, key and muff. Assume
    a factor of safety of 5 with following ultimate strength values.
    Ultimate shear strength for shaft = 300 N/mm2
    Ultimate shear strength for key = 200 N/mm2
    Ultimate shear strength for muff = 50 N/mm2
    Ultimate compressive strength for key = 500 N/mm2
    4. A shaft transmitting 150 kW is to be connected to a coaxial shaft through cast iron
    flange coupling. The shaft runs at 120 rpm. The key and shaft are to be made of
    same material for which permissible shearing stress is 60 N/mm2 and compressive
    strength is 120 N/mm2. The steel bolts may be subjected to maximum shearing stress
    of 26 N/mm2. Design protected type flange coupling.
    5. An universal coupling is used to connect two mild steel shafts transmitting a torque
    of 6000 N-m. Assuming that the shafts are subjected to torsion only, find the
    diameter of the shaft and the pin. The allowable shear stresses for the shaft and pin
    may be taken as 55 MPa and 30 MPa respectively.
