ABSTRACT
The tire coupling is torsional soft flexible coupling which is a feature that most
desirable for optimum torque transmission. Designing the tire coupling by using the
standard parameters and applying the torque for testing purposes will find the main
deformation in the couplings. So we will try to improve the design to maximize the
bearing effect for the coupling body. We will use the Solidworks simulation in order to
visualize the failure spots on the body. In our research for testing we will apply a
maximum torque 64 N.m and use rubber and polyurethane and other parts of the tire
coupling are (Alloy steel). As a result we will compare these two materials (Rubber and
Polyurethane) to find the optimum design.

1. INTRODUCTION
Coupling: A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the
purpose of transmitting power. Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during
operation; however of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting
some degree of there are torque limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some
torque limit is exceeded, the primary purpose misalignment or end movement or both. By
careful selection, installation and maintenance of couplings, substantial savings can be made in
reduced maintenance costs and downtime.
The Tire Coupling is essentially designed to allow for misalignment both angular and
parallel and absorbs torsional vibration which is minimizes shock loads misalignment by the
coupling. The Coupling has been successfully subjected under normal circumstances, to angular
misalignment up to 4 degree, parallel misalignment up to 3 mm and end float up to 8 mm. The
parts of the coupling have enough flexibility to suppress the initial shock load and eliminate the
common stresses to limited conditions. Tire coupling consists of two flanges, and the two
halves are joined by rubber tire. The tire itself has ability for torsional stress and it is flexible,
this allows the tire coupling to compensate most of shock loading the backlash.
We concentrated to tire couplings because not needed to lubrication and it is desirable in
such fields as food processing and textiles hence requiring no continues maintenance as a result.
The tire coupling forms one combined assembly and there is no relative movement inside of
any part.
In this research we chose two types of materials rubber and polyurethane that can be used in
tire coupling. And we studied the effect of stresses on these materials such as von Misses stress,
shear stress, ESTRN and Factor of safety (FOS) to choose the best one.

We will test the tire coupling to find values for {Von Mises stress, shear stress, ESTRN and
Factor of safety (FOS)}. We will apply torque (T = 64 N.m).
