MEG 440

Fall 2004

Project #1

Design a gear and sleeve coupling with the specifications below (source: http://www.mcmaster.com/ ). You are to add the following modifications to the design:

·        Use a steel sleeve.

·        Use keys to connect shafts to hubs.

You are to choose materials and dimensions such that components of the lift will not fail due to normal operating conditions. The following are brief overview of the major design steps:

a.       Create a sketch of your overall design that includes all relevant components.

b.      Use principles of statics to find the maximum forces that each component is subject to.

c.       Use the results of step (b) to calculate stresses on each component.

d.      Create a set of engineering drawings that can be used to manufacture the lift. It is preferred to use solid modeling at this step.

e.       Create STL files of your drawings to create a prototype of your design.

f.        Create list of components as explained in the first handout of the semester (http://www.me.unlv.edu/~mbt/440/Project_Format.html ).

 

     Gear and sleeve couplings provide good axial misalignment. All have ANSI keyways, unless noted. 

 

 

     (B) Steel hub and nylon sleeve models are compact and lightweight, offering much lower momentum than all-steel couplings. Lubrication is not required. Maximum temperature is 180°  F. For a complete coupling, you need to order two hubs and one sleeve from the same line in the listing below (for example, two  6247K21  hubs are designed to work with one  6247K31  sleeve).
     To Order:  For hubs, please specify bore size in  1
/8" increments from those available below. Note: You can use two hubs with different bore sizes in one coupling as long as the hub ODs are the same.
