Machine components must be assembled with a taper t having a single 7/8in (2.22cm) diameter bolt, Fig. 26c , with an end pressure plate applying force
to a tapered hub. The hub dimensions are: D o = 7 in (17.78 cm); d o = 5 in
(12.7 cm); and L = 10 in (25.4 cm). The shaft taper is characterized by four
parameters: = 5.7106; D = 6 in (15.24 cm); d = 4 in (10.16 cm); d i = 3 in
(7.62 cm). Assume a friction coecient, , = 0.15; safety factor S F = 3; and
the bolt torque coecient, K = 0.2. For an applied bolt torque T = 4000 lb
in. (452.0 N m), determine the shaft and hub stresses and the torque
resistance of the assembly.

For cases where the assembly force is applied by bolts threaded into the
shaft, the contact pressure in the taper t must be expressed in terms of the
bolt torque, T. Then, the bolt force for n bolts is given by Eq. 2,

Values for K, which is the bolt torque coecient, are given in Table 30. These
data assume a bolt friction of 0.15. When such data are not available, it
usually can be assumed that K = 0.2.
Assuming the bolt force F B = the assembly force, F, Eq. 2 can be substituted
into Eq. 1 to give Eq. 3, above.
From the literature on press ts, the radial and tangential stresses on a
hollow shaft are dened as those given in Eqs. 4 and 5, above. Equations 4
and 5 were derived for a hollow shaft with an inside diameter d i . For solid
shafts, d i = 0.
