Abstract

A powerlock is used to transmit torque between two shafts, to protect important equipment from overloads, and to compensate for the misalignment of assembled shafts. In this study, the effect of the shapes of the inner rings, bolt-fastening force, and friction on power transmission performance of powerlocks is investigated. Finite element analysis and experiments were conducted for two cases, and the analysis results were validated. Analyses were carried out for inner rings of various shapes and for various values of boltfastening force and friction coefficient. The main factors that affect the torque transmission performance were investigated based on the analysis results.
