In shaft connection called flanged bolt couplings (see figure), the torque is transmitted by
the shearing force P created in he bolts that is assumed to be uniformly distributed. For any
number of bolts n, the torque capacity of the coupling is
πd 2

T = P 1R 1n 1 + P 2R 2n 2
where the subscript 1 refer to bolts on the outer circle an subscript 2 refer to bolts on the
inner circle. See figure.
For rigid flanges, the shear deformations in the bolts are proportional to their radial
distances from the shaft axis. The shearing strains are related by

τ1 τ2 P1 / A1 P2 / A2

G 1R 1 G 2R 2 G 1R 1 G 2R 2
If the bolts on the two circles have the same area, A1 = A2, and if the bolts are made of the
same material, G1 = G2, the relation between P1 and P2 reduces to
P1 P2
