Taking account of the contact-layer pliability in end clip design

Abstract

An approach is proposed for taking account of various factors in the analysis of permanent and removable end clips. The factors considered are the pliability of the contact layer between the shaft and the sleeve, the diametric gap, and the pliability of the hinge section in a permanent end clip. Formulas are presented for the clamping forces and hinge dimensions. An algorithm is outlined for calculating the component transmitting the torque and axial force.
