Determine the diameter of the bolts used in rigid flange coupling if transmitted torque is 270N-m, pitch circle diameter=125mm and four bolts are emplace in the coupling. Permissible shear stress in the bolts is 70N/mm².
(a) 3.8mm
(b) 3.6mm
(c) 4.4mm
(d) 4mm
I have been asked this question during revision.
The query is from the Clamp Coupling & Rigid Flange & Coupling Bushed Pin Flexible Coupling topic in unit Shafts, Keys and Couplings of Machine Design
