Designofmachineelementsbygraphicalmethods Part5

This chapter discusses press-connect joints, which create durable connections without keys or grooves. Graphical design methods are proposed to approximate minimum interference for press-fit joints using ratios of diameters, torque, and material properties. An example calculates the minimum interference of 10 μm for a hollow shaft connected to a hub transmitting 40 kg-m of torque.

3.1 Introduction

Joining elements through press-connect creates durable and permanent


connections that can transmit largly and abruptly applied loads or
fluctuating forces. Since this kind of joining does not require any connecting
parts such as keys and consequently any keyways or grooves in which the
stress concentration occurs, it has a high design strength (operational
strength)

In this chapter, we propose unique methods that give very good


approximations and easy calculations for the design of press-connect

3.2 Design methods

To design press-connect joints, Equations 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4 and 3-5 (see
section 3.2.6) can be used (also see Figure 3-1a).

(a) (b)

Figure 3-1: (a): cross-section view of a hollow shaft connected to a hub by


press-connect. (b): the press-connect joint of Example 3-1

Instead of using the equations above, we propose a graphical method for


designing press-fit joints a presented in the following subsections. In the
graphical method, the coefficient of friction and connection length are
assumed to be μ = 0.1 and l = d, respectively.

3.2.1 Estimation of the minimum interference (∆min)

Example 3-1 shows use of the graphical method for rough calculation of the
minimum interference.

Example 3-1: In the powertrain of a heavy machine, there is a hollow shaft


connected to a hub by press-fit and supposed to transmit a torque of 40 kg.m
as shown in Figure 3-1-b. Find the minimum interference for the press-fit
joint.

3- Press-Connect Joints

Solution:

To solve this problem we follow the steps below:

1. First we find the ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter (a) for
both the shaft and hub:
𝑑𝑖 30
𝑎1 = = = 0.5
{ 𝑑 60
𝑑 60
𝑎2 = = = 0.4
𝐷 150
Then, we find the value of k0 from Figure 3-2.
2. On the top left horizontal axis which is for “steel and steel
𝑑𝑖
materials”, we locate = 0.5 and go up to cross the curve of
𝑑
d
=0.4. We go left to obtain the corresponding k0, that is:
D

k0 = 0.33
3. On the left horizontal axis of Figure 3-3, we select T = 40 kg.m and
go up to reach the curve related to d = 60 mm. From the point of
intersection, we go right to cross the curve associated with k0 = 0.33.
Then, going down to reach the right horizontal axis gives us the
minimum interference fit:
∆min = 10 μm

Therefore, the shaft in Figure 3-1 with the connection length of l = d = 60


mm can transmit the torque of 40 kg.m, if the minimum interference is 10
µm. However, it is preferable to use the highest torque capacity of the joint,
based on the strength of their material (see subsection 3.2.2).

steel and the hub is made of different materials as shown in the figure)

Note: If the roughness of the contact area between the hub and the shaft
is equal to Rz1 and Rz2 respectively, consider the minimum desired
interference equal to:
∆𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 10 𝜇𝑚 + 𝑅𝑧1 + 𝑅𝑧2
