PIN BUSHED FLEXIBLE COUPLING

hi....

to draw a pin bush flexible coupling the given data will be dia of shaft d to be joined in mm,power P to be transmitted in kw ,no. of revolution N in rpm,bearing pressure pb in n/mm2,allowable shear stress in shaft,keys,flange t in N/mm2 and allowable stress in pin s.


step 1.

find torque
T=(P*60)/(2*3.14*N) in N-m

cange it in N-mm by multiplying 1000.

Check suitability of shaft dia by

(d')3=[(16*t)/(3.14*t)]

if d'



step 2.

No. of pins n=0.02*d +5
(n should be even)

pin dia. d1=(0.5d)/sqrt(n)

take standard size of d1.


enlarged dia of pin d2= d1+2*step size(3-4) mm

assume a brass bush t1=2-3mm and rubber bush t2= 6-8mm

so d3 = d2+2*t1+2*t2



step 3

hub dia D1 = 1.75*d

pin circle dia D2 =3d

force per pin f= T*2/(D2*n)
step 4

From bearing consideration

pb=F/(l*d3)
find l from above expression.

shear stress in pin t= (F*4)/(3.14*d1*d1)





step 5

Bending moment M = F*(l/2 + e)

select e suitably e= 3-5mm


section modulus Z =(3.14*d1*d1*d1)/32

bending stress = M/Z
