PROCEDURE :
Given: a) Power in kW
b) Speed of shaft in rpm.
Step:1 Calculate the diameter torque to be transmitted Mt-use the equation on P.8.15
eqn:4.3
Step:2 Calculate the diameter of the shaft-d-use the equation on P.7.21
(Assume di=0) Round off the shaft diameter to R20 series.
Step:3 Based on the diameter of shaft calculated select the coupling and Note down its
dimensions. Refer P.7.107; Table 1

d = 24.14 mm
Rounded off to standard value = 25 mm
From the DDB, P7.107, coupling No.1 is selected corresponding to the shaft dia. 25
mm. The dimensions of the coupling are given in the table.
Since the design stress is > the working stress, the design is safe.
