INTERFERENCE FIT OF COUPLING BOLTS
INTERFERENCE FIT OF COUPLING BOLTS
(OP)
Hello All,
I would like your advice. What is the tolerance of fit between bolt and hole (dia:48mm) for flange coupling between tail and intermediate shaft?
I've checked the drawings and ANSI and I found differnet values.
Is it permited for cooling fitted bolts to be smaller 1/100mm from the hole?
Do you have any othe records for similar or bigger couplings?

RE: INTERFERENCE FIT OF COUPLING BOLTS
While its nice to have the assurance of all the bolts picking up the load, actually achieving that in a multi-bolt universe is REAL tough.
I like carefully torqued, manufactured (thick-enough flanges nice flat surfaces), and dimensioned bolted joints that rely on friction to keep things in place. If it's good enough for the crank flange of a Chrysler hemi its good enough for me
