coupling calc
(OP)
I have shafts both threaded on the ends, piston and actuator, connected by a screwed on coupling bolted together with a shim in the middle. This is for ease of installation and removal. The loads are along the shafts. What is a good calc to use for proper bolt size, coupling mat'l, coupling thickness and bolt pattern?

If the coupling moves with the two rods back and forth I can't see how any load is transferred to the coupling other than vibration or shock, again can you give all the information on this you have rather than spread it over several posts.

Call and talk to an applications engineer for specifics if you are uncertain how to apply.

I save files in older formats, or a neutral format like PDF. As late as 2002 a major US automotive "transfer line" manufacturer required that our spindle drawings be submitted in ACAD 14.
During saving It's usually just 2 extra mouseclicks to activate a pulldown menu and select a version from 1 score years ago. Sometimes some interesting and unexpected save options are available too.
