For an Oldham coupling used between two shafts, which among the following statements are correct? I. Torsional load is transferred along shaft axis. II. A velocity ratio of 1:2 between shafts is obtained without using gears. III. Bending load is transferred transverse to shaft axis. IV. Rotation is transferred along shaft axis. Correct Answer I and IV

Explanation:

Oldham Coupling is used to join two shafts that have a lateral misalignment. It consists of two flanges C and D with slots and a central floating part E with two tongues T1 and T2 at right angles. The resultant of these two components of motion will accommodate lateral misalignment of the shaft as they rotate.

This coupling is used when there is some lateral misalignment, that is, axes of both the shafts are parallel, but not co-axial.

Torque is transmitted through the pressure between the slot and tongue. The pressure is the maximum at the outer periphery and zero at the centroid.

Here the torsional load is transferred along the shaft axis and rotation is transferred along the shaft axis.

Consider the following statements: 1. In spur gears, the contact occurs abruptly on a line parallel to the axis, and the disengagement too is abrupt. 2. In helical gears, both loading and unloading are gradual, and therefore, these happen more smoothly and less noisily 3.

Statement (I): Two  non-intersecting and non-parallel, i.e., non-coplanar, shafts connected by gears are called skew-bevel gears or spiral gears, and this type of gearing has a line contact the rotation of which about the axes generates the two hyperboloid pitch surfaces. Statement (II): A hyperboloid is a 3D surface formed by revolving a straight line about an axis (not in the same plane), such that every point on the line remains at a constant distance from the axis.
