Calculate cone joint

On the ribbon, click Design tab Power Transmission panel Cone Joint Calculator . In the Calculation tab, enter calculation parameters. Click Calculate to perform the calculation. Results are displayed in the Results area. If the calculation results are satisfactory, click OK to insert cone joint calculation to the Autodesk Inventor assembly.

This procedure creates an example using the sample specifications.

Sample Data:

• Torque: T = 20-lb ft
• Major Diameter D = 2.4 in
• Joint Length L = 5.5 in
• Material: steel grade 60

Start the Cone Joint Calculator. On the Calculation tab: In the Loads area, enter Torque = 20. In the Dimensions area, select the D, L, Taper Ratio d option and enter Major Diameter = 2.4 and Joint Length = 5.5. In the Joint Properties area, click the button next to the Material edit field, and select the material and type of loading from the database. Enter Clamping Factor = 0.08. Click Calculate to perform a cone joint strength check. The optimum hub length is based on minimum hub length, joint strength, pressure values, and axial force in bolts. Click OK to insert cone joint calculation to the Autodesk Inventor assembly. Tip: Click the Results icon to create an HTML report.
