Calculating shear in a pin with known torque value
Hello,
I'm working on a design, where a pin is attached to a drum and is used to engage and disengage the drum that is attached to a keyed shaft. I know the torque value on the drum clutch but how do get lb-force unit to calculate allowable shear stress in the pin? I've attached a picture showing how the pin engages into the drum clutch. The drum clutch is keyed to a shaft that is chain driven by a hydraulic motor/gearbox.
Thanks,
Alex
