In mechanical engineering rotary motion can be transferred by mechanical connections between a shaft and hub using only a tight fit. Methods of achieving this
type of connection include the engineered interference fit, the taper lock bush and hydraulic fit bush. These keyless shaft/hub connections all transfer torque by
friction.
The coefficient of friction used for designing these types of connections is dependent on the interface pressure, materials, surface condition, surface coatings etc.
The coefficient of friction is also dependent on the method of installation. A different value result if the shaft is forced into the hub (force fit) compared to the value
if the assemble is completed by heating the hub or freezing the shaft prior to assembly (shrink fit)...
Steel Hub , Steel Shaft unlubricated - force fit ...C. of Friction = 0,07 to 0,16
Steel Hub , Steel Shaft greased - force fit ...C. of Friction = 0,05 to 0,12
Steel Hub , Steel Shaft unlubricated - Shrink fit ...C. of Friction = 0,15 to 0,25
Steel Hub , Steel Shaft greased - Shrink fit ...C. of Friction = 0,08 to 0,16
The manufacturers of the proprietary keyless hub/shaft systems indicate that their products are based on a coefficient of friction of 0,12 for lightly oiled connections
and 0,15 for dry assemblies. These companies can provide surface coating fluids containing particles to increase the coefficient of friction i.e. coefficient of
friction to 0,25 to 0,3. (ref links 1 below)
The American Gear Manufactures Association (AGMA) recommends a value of between 0,12-0,15 for hydraulically expanded hubs and 0,15-0,20 for shrink or
press fit hubs.
