Couplings: Notes Prepared by Meet Bakotia

This document discusses the design of different types of couplings, including muff/sleeve couplings, split muff/compression/clamp couplings, and flange couplings. It provides the design procedures and considerations for determining the shaft diameter, key, muff/hub, bolts, and checking shear and crushing stresses for different coupling components. The purpose of couplings is to permanently or temporarily join rotating shafts, as opposed to clutches which connect or disconnect driving and driven shafts.

Couplings
7.1. Coupling and its applications:
A coupling can be defined as a mechanical device that permanently joins two rotating shafts to each
other. The main applications of couplings are;

7.2. Purpose of using couplings:

7.3. Classification of couplings:

Difference between a coupling and a clutch is that: A coupling is used to connect driver and driven
shaft permanently or temporarily while a clutch connect or disconnects the driving shaft from the
driven shaft at the will of the operator i.e. (whenever operator wishes while vehicle is still driving).

7.4. Design of Muff/Sleeve Coupling:
(Muff is also called sleeve) In Muff coupling the sleeve is used which doesn’t have bolts but in Split
muff coupling, the muff is made in two halves and are bolted together.

(a) Design of Shaft


Find shaft dia (d) from

(b) Design of key

(c) Design of Muff

(d) (d) Check shear stress (τc) of cast iron i.e shear stress of muff.

K = d/D

7.5. Design Procedure of Split muff/Compression/Clamp Coupling
(a) Design of Shaft
Find shaft dia (d)
(b) Design of key

(c) Design of Muff

(d) Check shear stress (τc) of cast iron i.e shear stress of muff.

K = d/D

(e) Design of Bolts
Root dia of bolt is evaluated from equation of torque

Nominal dia = (db/0.84)

7.6. Design procedure of Flange coupling:


(a) Design of Shaft
Find shaft dia (d) from

(b) Design of Hub (according to hollow shaft)

Notes prepared by Meet Bakotia


(c) Check shear stress (τc) of cast iron i.e shear stress of muff.

K = d/D
(d) Design of key

Length of key = Length of Hub = 1.5d

(e) Design for flange

Check shear stress for flange (τc) from

Notes prepared by Meet Bakotia


(f) Design of Bolts

D1 = 3d
Next put d1 in formulae of crushing stress and check crushing stress
