1. Abstract
A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the
purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is to join two
pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or
end movement or both. In a more general context, a coupling can also be a
mechanical device that serves to connect the ends of adjacent parts or objects.
The main purpose of a coupling is to reduce the losses, angler deflections of
the shafts and to transmit the maximum power from one shaft to another.
Shaft couplings are mainly two types, that is rigid coupling and Flexible
couplings. Rigid coupling won’t allow the lateral misalignment of shafts but
flexible couplings permits both lateral and angular misalignment. Muf
couplings are rigid couplings which are used to connect two shafts of same
diameter to transmit the power. These are again classified into two types i.e.
Sleeve/muf/Box coupling and Split muf/compression coupling.
Split-Muf coupling is one of the major type of coupling. In this, the muf is split
into two halves and are recessed. A number of bolts and nuts are used to
connect the muf halves and the recesses provided accommodate the bolt
heads and nuts. . Based on the usage of the coupling a keyway is made in the
bore in order to transmit the torque by means of the key. Two threaded holes
are provided in order to lock the coupling in position. Muf coupling is generally
manufactured by Cast iron and used to connect two shafts solid or hallow.
Shaft and sleeve are positioned with help of Key
2. Introduction
The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment
while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. In a
more general context, a coupling can also be a mechanical device that serves to
connect the ends of adjacent parts or objects. Couplings do not normally allow
disconnection of shafts during operation, however there are torque
limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is
exceeded. Selection, installation and maintenance of couplings can lead to
reduced maintenance time and maintenance cost.

USES AND REAL TIME APPLICATION OF COMPONENT
3. Procedure
By using solid works we done this modelling of Split Muf Coupling
PART 1- Muf
1. File New Part Design Save As muff
2. First select the plane of top view plane and select the sketch option
3. Draw the shape as given in the figure as per the dimensions using circle,
line and trim options.
3. File-Save as-Key
PART 3 –Shaft
1. Select the front plane and select sketch.
2. Draw a circle as per the dimensions and extrude it as required.
3. Select the front plane and sketch a rectangle as shown in the figure and
remove the rectangle to get the key hole to lock the muf and shaft.
4. File-Save as-Shaft.
Assembly
Step 1-File-new-Assembly
Step 2-insert the top muf and down muf using insert component option.
Step 3-mate top muf and down muf coaxially and lock it.
Step 4-insert the shafts and arrange it coaxially with mufs .
Step 5-Arrange the key in the key hole with its axis parallel to axis of split muf
and coincident with shaft and muf face.
Step 6-insert the bolts in the space which is provided by arranging it with
coaxially with the axis of the hole.
Step 7-arrange the nut using the same procedure upto the face of muf to get
the split muf coupling.
4.RESULTS&CONCLUSION
Finally we assembled and modelled split muf coupling used for machinery
purpose.
