scope:

This standard presents information on design, dimensions, tolerances, inspection, mounting, removal, and equipment that is in common use with keyless tapered and keyless straight (cylindrical) bore hubs for flexible couplings. Calculated hub stress values and hub to shaft torque capacities are nominal values. This standard does not present a rigorous analysis of the components.

Applicability

This standard applies only to hubs and solid shafts made of steel,which generally havematerial properties of modulus of elasticity equal to 2.07 x 10⁵ MPa, density equal to 7830 kg/m³, and thermal expansion coefficient equal to 11.4 x 10^-6 mm/mm/°C. bores.
