The document outlines a tutorial for designing various types of couplings including muff, clamp, protective flange, rigid flange, and bushed-pin couplings, specifying power transmission requirements, material properties, and allowable stresses. Each design task includes detailed parameters such as power, RPM, shear and crushing stresses, and the number of bolts used. Additionally, the document emphasizes the importance of creating neat sketches of the couplings with dimensions after completing the designs.

Tutorial for coupling

1. Design and make a neat dimensioned sketch of a muff coupling which is used to connect
two steel shafts transmitting 40 kW at 350 r.p.m. The material for the shafts and key is
plain carbon steel for which allowable shear and crushing stresses may be taken as 40
MPa and 80 MPa respectively. The material for the muff is cast iron for which the
allowable shear stress may be assumed as 15 MPa.
2. Design a clamp coupling to transmit 30 kW at 100 r.p.m. The allowable shear stress for
the shaft and key is 40 MPa and the number of bolts connecting the two halves are six.
The permissible tensile stress for the bolts is 70 MPa. The coefficient of friction between
the muff and the shaft surface may be taken as 0.3.
3. Design a cast iron protective type flange coupling to transmit 15 kW at 900 r.p.m. from
an electric motor to a compressor. The service factor may be assumed as 1.35. The
following permissible stresses may be used:
a) Shear stress for shaft, bolt and key material = 40 MPa
b) Crushing stress for bolt and key = 80 MPa
c) Shear stress for cast iron = 8 MPa
d) Draw a neat sketch of the coupling.
4. Design a rigid flange coupling to transmit a torque of 250 N-m between two coaxial
shafts. The shaft is made of alloy steel, flanges out of cast iron and bolts out of steel. Four
bolts are used to couple the flanges. The shafts are keyed to the flange hub. The
permissible stresses are given below:
i. Shear stress on shaft =100 MPa
ii. Bearing or crushing stress on shaft =250 MPa
iii. Shear stress on keys =100 MPa
iv. Bearing stress on keys =250 MPa
v. Shearing stress on cast iron =200 MPa
vi. Shear stress on bolts =100 MPa
After designing the various elements, make a neat sketch of the assembly indicating the
important dimensions. The stresses developed in the various members may be checked if
thumb rules are used for fixing the dimensions.
5. Design a bushed-pin type of flexible coupling to connect a pump shaft to a motor shaft
transmitting 32 kW at 960 r.p.m. The overall torque is 20 percent more than mean torque.
The material properties are as follows:
(a) The allowable shear and crushing stress for shaft and key material is 40 MPa and
80 MPa respectively.
(b) The allowable shear stress for cast iron is 15 MPa.
(c) The allowable bearing pressure for rubber bush is 0.8 N/mm2.
(d) The material of the pin is same as that of shaft and key.
