Torque Capacity of a Rigid Coupling

A flanged keyed coupling is keyed to a shaft (Figure 9.16a). Calculate the torque that can be transmitted.

Given: There are 6 bolts of 25 mm diameter. The bolt circle diameter is D_{b} = 150 mm.

Assumptions: The torque capacity is controlled by an allowable shear strength of 210 MPa in the bolts.

Area in shear for one bolt is

A=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \pi(25)^2=491  mm ^2

Allowable force for one bolt is

P_{\text {all }}=A S_{y s}=491(210)=103.1  kN

Inasmuch as 6 bolts are available at a 75 mm distance from the central axis, we have

T_{\text {all }}=103.1 \times 10^3 \times 0.075 \times 6=46.4  kN \cdot m
