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

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.
