A flange bolt coupling has ten (10) steel 25.

4 mm diameter bolts evenly tighten around a 415 mm bolt circle. Determine the torque capacity of the connection if the allowable shearing stress in the bolt is 50 MN/m . Given: NB = 10 d = 25.4 mm B = 415 mm
B 2

= 50 MN/m

Required: torque capacity (T) Schematic Diagram:

A flange coupling has an outside diameter of 200 mm and connects two 40 mm shafts. There are four 16 mm bolts on a 140 mm bolt circle. The radial flange thickness is 20 mm. If the torsional stress in the shaft is not to exceed 26 MPa, determine the stress in the bolts if uniformly distributed. Given: H = 200 mm f = 20 mm NB = 4 d = 16 mm B = 140 mm = 26 MPa

Required: stress in the bolt ( Schematic Diagram:

B)
