Oldham coupling

Instruction:
• Basic introduction is also given. Use the internet to understand the working fully.
• Create an assembly to demonstrate the workings.
• Follow the parametric relations given. Assume suitable dimensions where ever necessary.

Introduction :
It is used to connect two parallel shafts whose axes are at a small distance apart. Two flanges,
each having a rectangular slot, are keyed, one on each shaft. The two flanges are positioned
such that, the slot in one is at right angle to the slot in the other.

To make the coupling, a circular disc with two rectangular projections on either side and at right
angle to each other, is placed between the two flanges. During motion, the central disc, while
turning, slides in the slots of the flanges. Power transmission takes place between the shafts,
because of the positive connection between the flanges and the central disc (Fig. 1).

Note*:
1. Assume suitable assumption if needed.
2. No need to model shaft keys.
