Tests by our customers show that when these couplings are installed correctly they have a constant velocity.The torque rating is based on the buckling point, not on the breaking point of the beam. Optimal vibration damping and easy installation - the best of two models in one design. On the other side of the coupling, the second set of beams are spread apart to their minimum load carrying capability. ROCOM Precision Flexible Coupling Design. Flange coupling is of two types – unprotected and protected. The helical curved beams are double tapered so that they are thick at the OD and thin at the ID in ratio to the circumferential lengths. Keywords: Design, Solidworks, Flexible coupling, Rubber and brass bushed, single bush.

The coupling design supplies optimum strength for working pressures to 1000 PSl (69 bar) without excessive casting weight. 7001 Coupling forms a flexible grooved end pipe joint connection with the versatility for a wide range of applications. Therefore, for designing the bolts it is assumed that whole of the torque is transmitted by friction and while designing the key, it is assumed that whole of the torque is transmitted by it.Design is similar to the design of muff coupling and an additional calculation is required for designing the bolts.Design of Clamp Coupling is similar to the design of muff coupling and an additional calculation is required for designing the bolts.Bolts are designed assuming that whole of the torque is transmitted by friction between sleeve and shafts.Assuming that half of the bolts apply clamping force on one shaft and half of the bolts on the where, m = coefficient of friction between shafts and sleeve.Above two relations can be used to find the core diameter of the bolts by equating  to the total torque transmitted.Flange coupling consists of two flanges keyed to the shafts. Rocom’s one piece, double taper, multi overlapping, helical curved beam flexible coupling is the patented result of years of testing. All Rights Reserved. Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 14 Likes: 1, Points: 0, Legacy Rep: 33 Location: Pompey, UK Nasher Junior Member. Assembly and dismantling is easier for this coupling. Figure 2: Two-bearing alternator . Rocom’s one piece, double taper, multi overlapping, helical curved beam flexible coupling is the patented result of years of testing. It is not possible to find out the exact percentage of torque transmitted by friction and by the key. Sleeve, a hollow cylinder, is fitted on the ends of input and output shaft with the help of a sunk key.

Sleeve is made of cast iron and for it a larger factor of safety of 6-8 is used on the ultimate strength. Assembly of muff coupling is shown in Figure 16.1. Welcome to contact us. The CT Coupling design makes it virtually failure-free. The Gruvlok® Fig.

If the misalignment rating is not exceeded, the shaft cannot touch the flexible beams which otherwise could cause them to fail.This design is continually self-compensating. The helical curved beams are double tapered so that they are thick at the OD and thin at the ID in ratio to the circumferential lengths.

Couplings are used to connect two rotating shafts to transmit torque from one to the other.

Let n be the total number of bolts.Analysis and Design of Machine Elements by VK Jadon View Details. These are simple and inexpensive.Flexible couplings are used to connect two shafts having lateral or angular misalignment. Discussion in 'Inboards' started by Nasher, Jan 11, 2015. Key is designed as discussed earlier. In this coupling, sleeve or muff is made in two halves, which are split along the plane passing through the axes of the shafts. 16.3.1 Introduction. Shear stress induced in shaft for transmitting torque, T is given by,Where  T          = Twisting moment (or torque) acting upon the shaft,J          = Polar moment of inertia of the shaft about the axis of rotation r           = Distance from neutral axis to the outer most fibre = d/2So dimensions of the shaft can be determined from above relation for a known value of allowable shear stress, [τ].As discussed earlier, following relations are used to calculate the dimensions.Then the torsional shear stress in the sleeve is checked considering it as a hollow shaft.where, T          = Twisting moment (or torque) to be transmittedJ          = Polar moment of inertia about the axis of rotation  r           = Distance from neutral axis to the outer most fibre = D/2Cross-section of the key is taken from the table corresponding to the shaft diameter or relations  (square key) or  and  (for rectangular key) are used to find the cross-section, where w is width and h is the height of the key.Clamp coupling is also known as split-muff coupling or compression coupling.

Dynamic balancing of clamp coupling is difficult making it unsuitable for high speed applications. You have the option of emergency operation of your equipment or system. To avoid this, protective circumferential flanges are provided in the protected type flange coupling.Flange of a protected type flange coupling has three distinct regions – inner hub, flanges and protective circumferential flanges. Sleeve, a hollow cylinder, is fitted on the ends of input and output shaft with the help of a sunk key.
