Round (solid) bar Stem with Ball connection using drive / dowel pin (Type A)
Actuator Coupling
Actuator Coupling
This portion of calculation can be alternatively done based on Polar movement of inertia or
any other method, same needs to be reviewed case by case basis.
Calculation 2 (Maximum allowable stem torque in round section)
n = number key
r = stem radius
b = groove key
Where a, L, r, b in mm and Mc in Nm
Valve MAST = Min (MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4)
Valve MAST shall be the lowest value maximum allowable torque in drive train component i.e
MC1, MC2, MC3 & MC4
