To get the sketch to come through right, try using the monospaced text formatting {tt}monospaced text{/tt} but with square brackets. My actual part does have reliefs as you have shown to make assembly easier, I just did not show them in my sketch. (If others want to see Greg's...
Greg Locock:
A locking taper, which is screwed together, has a very high change of picking up and galling when you undo it. (I had a bad experience with this before)
I am also looking at using a locking taper and separate bolt for drawing the shafts together. The idea with the parallel bore...

I just want to make sure we are both talking about apples here so I have drawn a little sketch (is there a better way to post sketches?)

Desert Fox:
At the moment I have designed the connection so there are about 5 threads engaged on a 1-7/16 UNEF profile, BEFORE the interferences (top and bottom) engage. The bottom interference engages slightly before the top. This way you can thread the shafts together and then use the...
Fox: I have one shaft mounted vertically in bearings. The second shaft will have a motor rotor pressed on to it and be outboard (above). I need a fully rigid and aligned connection between the two shafts to ensure the rotor and stator are aligned. Hence a flexible coupling is inappropriate...
The shaft is only spinning in one direction so the thread will only tighten, never undo. I am not using the interference to prevent the thread from undoing. I am using the interference to align the shafts precisely as a typical thread has to be built with clearances. A NPT thread (I am...
Hello,
I want to design a shaft connection using a threaded bore and threaded shaft end to transmit torque. I want to have a straight parallel interferrence fit (on the shafts) above and below the thread to accuractly align the shafts. Does any one have experience with this kind of connection...
