A New Optimized Solution for a Flexible Coupling with Bolts Used in the Mechanical Transmissions
The paper presents a new constructive and functional solution of flexible coupling with bolts and nonmetallic intermediary elements. The bolts have a special shape in the sense that they have a milled area on a certain length equal to the width of the non-metallic element, a cylindrical area that re...

| description | The paper presents a new constructive and functional solution of flexible coupling with bolts and nonmetallic intermediary elements. The bolts have a special shape in the sense that they have a milled area on a certain length equal to the width of the non-metallic element, a cylindrical area that reduces the stress concentrators at the diameter passages. The novelty of this coupling consists of the existence of one intermediary disk between two semi couplings (driver and driven semi couplings). This is fixed by the semi-coupling on the right side, the intermediary disc having milled four locations in which to mount the left, as the right has a metal plate with a special shape of eight metallic plates that are mounted with screws in the four milled places processed on the intermediate disc. The nonmetallic elements have various forms and can be made from different qualities of rubber mounted on the bolts. Eight milled bolts (four on each semi-coupling) allow the transmission of the torsion moment in both directions of rotation, in one direction becoming rigid and thus behaving like a safety coupling. Finite element method is used to obtain the mechanical response of this new type of coupling. |
