MITCalc Pinned couplings

This software review is centered on the capabilities of a calculation tool specifically created for the geometric design and strength check of couplings utilizing pins and clevis pins. The main tasks that the program is capable of undertaking include designing pins for spring attachment, couplings with securing pins, cross pins in rods and sleeves, radial pins for shaft-hub connection, longitudinal pins for shaft-hub connection, and clevis pins for rotating rod-clevis connection. The software is also equipped with the ability to perform strength checks on designed couplings.

One of the key features of this program is its inclusion of dimensional tables for pins and clevis pins that are in accordance with various international standard organizations such as ANSI, ISO, DIN, BS, JIS, and CSN. Additionally, the software also provides support for 2D CAD systems like AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and ProgeCAD.

The calculations are based on data, procedures, and algorithms that have been sourced from specialized literature and various standard organizations like ANSI, ISO, and DIN. To further guarantee accuracy and thoroughness, the program also references a comprehensive list of standards such as ANSI B18.8.1, ANSI B18.8.2, ISO 2338, ISO 2339, ISO 2340, ISO 2341, ISO 8733, ISO 8734, ISO 8735, ISO 8739, ISO 8740, ISO 8741, ISO 8742, ISO 8743, ISO 8744, ISO 8745, ISO 8746, DIN 1, DIN 7, DIN 1443, DIN 1444, DIN 1470, DIN 1471, DIN 1472, DIN 1473, DIN 1474, DIN 1475, DIN 1476, JIS B 1352, JIS B 1354, JIS B 1355, BS EN 22339, BS EN 22340, BS EN 22341, CSN EN 22339, and CSN EN 22340.

Overall, this software is a comprehensive and reliable tool for those who need to design or check the strength of couplings utilizing pins and clevis pins. With its array of features and support for various standard organizations, the program is an excellent choice for those who require accuracy and efficiency in their calculations.
