Design Guidelines for Cylindrical Joints
According to VDI 2230 Guidelines
Cylindrical Joints | |||
---|---|---|---|
Item | Guidelines for design | Disadvantages | Advantages |
1 | Preloads: Preloads as high as possible *Higher strength grade *Exact tightening method *Low coefficients of friction | Low Preloads | High preloads (Choose tightening method with small tightening factor) |
2 | Eccentricity of the bolt: Aim to obtain the lowest possible Eccentricity of bolt positions | Large eccentricity | Minimal eccentricity |

3 | Eccentricity of the load introduction: Minimal eccentricity causes smaller additional bolt forces | Large eccentricity | Minimal eccentricity |

4 | Height of load introduction: Introduce the load as close to the interface as possible | Load introduction of the upper region | Load introduction in the vicinity of the interface |

5 | Rigidity bolt - cylinder: The resilience of the bolt should be as high as possible, compared to the resilience of the clamped part. (If need be, with reduced body diameter bolts) | Thin small cylinder (for given nominal diameter) | G = dW+hmin |
