The document discusses the design of a bushed-pin type flexible coupling to connect a pump shaft to a motor shaft transmitting 32 kW of power at 960 rpm. It provides the material properties and design considerations for pins and rubber bushings. The maximum principal stress and maximum shear stress calculated for the design are found to be within specified limits, indicating the design is safe.

Direct shear stress due to pure torsion

aximum bending moment on the pin,
We know that bending stress,
The value of maximum
principal stress varies from 28 to 42 MPa
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/mm 2. (d) The 3 Given : P = of 32 kW 32 is10same W ; N as = 960 r.p.m. material the=pin that of ;shaft and key. Draw neat sketch of the 2 T max = 1.2 Tmean s = k = 40 Mpa = 40 N/mm ; cs coupling = ck = 80 MPa = 80 N/mm2 ; c = 15 MPa = 15 N/mm2 ; pb = 0.8 N/mm2
esign for pins and rubber bush
l = Length of the bush in the flange.
We know that the bearing load acting on each pin, W = pb d2 l = 0.8 40 l = 32 l N We have discussed in rigid type of flange coupling that the number of bolts for 40 mm diameter shaft are 3. In the flexible coupling, we shall use the number of pins (n) as 6. The enlarged portion of the pin which is in the left hand coupling half is made of 24 mm diameter. On the enlarged portion, a brass bush of thickness 2 mm is pressed. A brass bush carries a rubber bush. Assume the thickness of
Since the maximum principal
stress and maximum shear stress are within limits, therefore the design is safe.
