Question: Design a bushed pin type flexible coupling for connecting a motor shaft to a pump shaft for the following service conditions. Power to be transmitted

Design a bushed pin type flexible coupling for connecting a motor shaft to a pump shaft for the following service conditions. Power to be transmitted =40 kW, speed of the motor shaft =1000 rpm. The material properties are : i) The allowable shear and crushing stress for shaft and key material is 40 MPa and 80 MPa respectively, ii) allowable shear stress for cast iron is 15 MPa, iii) Allowable bearing pressure for rubber brush is 0.8 N/mm2 and iv) the material of the pin is same as that of shaft and key. Draw neat sketch of the coupling
