2 IN MACHINE DESIGN 1

KEYS, FLANGE & COUPLINGS

1. A line shaft is 2 15/16 in. in diameter and will transmit 50 hp when turning at 200 rpm at constant rate. This
shaft furnishes the power to 10 machines each requiring 5 hp to operate. Each of the 10 pulleys is keyed to the
shaft by standard flat key. If the width and thickness of the key are ¾ and ½ in respectively, find the length of
the key based on shear considering that the allowable shear stress for commercial shafting is 6000 psi.

2. Refer to problem 1, find the length of the key based on compression considering that the allowable
compressive stress for commercial shafting is 12,000 psi.

3. A pulley is keyed to a 24 mm steel shaft with a metric M6X20 square key. If the hub length is 20 mm and the
allowable shearing stress for the key material is 100 Mpa, how much torque can be transmitted?

4. A 15/16 in. wide key has a depth of 5/8 in. It is 12 inches long and is to be used on a 200 hp, 1160 rpm,
squirrel-cage induction motor. The shaft diameter is 3 7/8 inches. The maximum running torque is 200 % of the
full load torque. Determine the maximum compressive stress of the key.

5. Refer to problem 4, find the maximum direct shearing stress on the key.

6. A pulley is keyed to a 2 ½ inches diameter shaft by a 5/8 x 7/16 in x 3 in flat key. The shaft rotates at 50 rpm.
The allowable shearing stress for the key is 22 ksi. The allowable compressive stress for the key, hub and shaft are
66 ksi, 59 ksi, and 72 ksi, respectively. Determine the following:

a. The torque that can be carried due to shearing stress of the key.

b. The torque that can be carried due to compressive stress of key.

c. The torque that can be carried by the shaft.

d. The torque that can be carried by the hub.

e. The maximum torque the pulley can safely delivered.

7. A flange coupling connects two 2 inches diameter shafts. The flanges are fitted with 6 bolts of SAE 1040 steel
on a 7 inches bolt circle. The shaft runs at 300 rpm and transmits 45 hp. Assume a factor of safety of 5, ultimate
tension of 70,000 psi, and ultimate shear of 55,000 psi.

1. What is the torque transmitted?

2. Determine the total force transmitted.

3. Determine the force per bolt.

4. Find the diameter of bolts required.

5. How thick should the flange be?
