ME&M I-01 Problem

The figure below shows a part of a lever-based command system, supporting the maximum axial load, F=10kN.
The following main dimensions are known: L=100mm, D=60mm, db=14mm, t1=4mm, t2=7mm. It is required:
1. Check the clevis pin assuming ak=120MPa and a=70MPa.
2.

Check the double fillet weld of length Lw=30mm and throat of weld a=3mm assuming a permissible value
as=50MPa.

3.

Calculate the dimensions of the profiled (polygon) assembly between the lever and the actuated shaft,
assuming ak=120MPa and the chamfer c=0.5mm.

4.

Calculate the length m, of the threaded collar f, assuming ak=20MPa. The thread is ISO metric M222.5
with the following dimensions: d2=20.376mm, d1=18.933mm, H1=1.353mm (height of the thread).

5.

If square splines (zdD=104656), instead of polygon, are used for the assembly of lever c on shaft e
verify the assembly given tooth width, b=7mm, chamfer c=0.3mm (use the same admissible values as for
question 1).

!!!

As gmax < g results that the square polygon is impossible; a solution is to increase its
length, or to use a hex polygon
