Assignment – 2

1 Differentiate between
i) Rigid and flexible coupling. ii) Protected and unprotected flange coupling.
2 What do you mean by coupling? Give its applications.
3 Explain Muff coupling in brief.
4 What are flexible couplings and what are their applications ? Illustrate your answer
with suitable examples and sketches.
5 Design and draw a protective type of cast iron flange coupling for a steel shaft
transmitting 15 kW at 200 r.p.m. and having an allowable shear stress of 40 MPa.
The working stress in the bolts should not exceed 30 MPa. Assume that the same
material is used for shaft and key and that the crushing stress is twice the value of
its shear stress. The maximum torque is 25% greater than the full load torque. The
shear stress for cast iron is 14 MPa.
6 Design a shaft and flange for a Diesel engine in which protected type of flange
coupling is to be adopted for power transmission. The following data is available
for design : Power of engine = 75 kW; speed of engine = 200 r.p.m.; maximum
permissible stress in shaft = 40 MPa; maximum permissible twist in shaft = 1° in
length of shaft equal to 30 times the diameter of shaft; maximum torque = 1.25 ×
mean torque; pitch circle diameter of bolts = 3 × diameter of shaft; maximum
permissible stress in bolts = 20 MPa. Find out : 1. Diameter of shaft, 2. number of
bolts, and 3. diameter of bolts.
7 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.
