ABSTRACT
D = 146 mm (Answer) The coupling bolts will therefore lie on a pitch circle of diameter 146 x 1·5 = 219 mm (say 220 mm) (see Fig. 9.5) The whole of the torque is transmitted through the coupling via the six bolts, so that the shear moment for each bolt will amount to one-sixth of the total torque. Let the shearing force developed in each bolt = P newtons Then the total torque transmitted = 6 X P X 110 Nmm
Fig. 9.5
Hence
= 0·66 P Nm
P 45757 0·66 = 69329 N
Since the allowable shearing stress in the bolts is 100 N/mm2: 69329
area of bolt required 100
= 693 mm2
