Design of Flexible Coupling.

Design of Shaft.
The shaft Undergoes Torsional Shear stress .
The diameter of the shaft can be calculated by
τmax=16T/πd3
Design of Key
The Dimension of the Key are set by using Standard
Relation’s.

Width of key w=d/4


Height of Key h=2/3*w or h=w
Length of Key l=1.5d
The Key undergoes Direct Shear Stress as well as Crushing
Stress and the Key needs to be checked for the Same.

Check for Shear Stress

τd=2T(d*w*l)

Check for Shear Stress

σc=4T/(d*h*l)
Design of Hub
The Dimensions of the Hub are set using Standard Relations.

Outer Diameter “D” D=2d

Length of Hub “L” Length of Hub = Length of


Key
The Hub undergoes Torsional Shear Stress and the Dimensions needs
to be checked for the same.

Check for Torsional Shear Stress

τh=16T/πD3[1-k4]
where k=d/D

For Safety τh < τall


Design of Flange
The thickness of Flange and of Protective Flange are set by using
Standard Relations.

Thickness of Flange tf=0.5d


Thickness of Protective Flange tp=0.25d
The Flange Undergoes Direct Shear Stress and Needs to be Checked for
the same.

Check for Direct Shear Stress

τf=2T/πD2tf

For Safety τf < τall


Design of Pin
The dimensions of the Pin are Set Using Standard relation’s.

Number of Pins n n=3 for d less than 30mm


n=4 for 30 < d ≤75
n=6 for 75< d ≤110
n=8 for 80< d ≤150

Nominal Dia of Pin dp dp=


Dia0.5d/(n) 1/2 d
of Enlarged portion d1= db+4mm

Outer Dia of Rubber Bush d2 d2=d1+16
D1
Bolt Circle Dia

D1=D+d2+(2*8)
Length of Bush in Flange Pb
Pb=2T/(nD1d2lb)
The Pin’s need to be checked for Max Shear Stress and Max
Principal Stress.

Max Shear Stress τmax=[(σb/2)2+τb2]1/2

Max Principal Stress. σmax=(σb/2)+


[(σb/2)2+τb2]1/2

σb = {32*F*(lb/2)+5}/∏db3 F = T/[n*(D1/2)]

τb = F/[π * db2 /4]

For Safety τmax < τall


Outer Diameter of Flange D2 D2=(2D1 - D)
