Results are displayed in the Results area. If the calculation results are satisfactory, click OK to insert slotted hub joint calculation to the Autodesk Inventor assembly.

This procedure creates an example using the sample specifications.

Sample Data:

• Torque: T = 45-lb ft
• Shaft Diameter: d = 1.0625 in
• Pitches:
  • b = 1 in
  • c = 0.9 in
• Type of loading: Repeated Load
• Material: steel grade 50

Start the Slotted Hub Joint Calculator. On the Calculation tab: In the Type of Strength Calculation, select Hub Length Design. In the Load area, enter Torque = 45. In the Dimensions area, enter Shaft Diameter = 1.0625 and Pitches b = 1, c = 0.9. In the Joint Properties area, select Repeated Load and click the button next to the Material edit field, and select the material and type of loading from the database. Click Calculate to perform a separated hub design check. Click OK to insert slotted hub joint calculation to the Autodesk Inventor assembly.
