DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF LABORATORY OLDHAM COUPLING HND PROJECT REPORT
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this project was to design and construct an Oldham coupling for
the Mechanics of Machine Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department
at Kano State Polytechnic. The department aims to provide practical
demonstrations for mechanical engineering students, and the Oldham coupling is
a crucial device needed to achieve this goal. This project presents the design and
construction process of the Oldham coupling, highlighting the importance of
modern design tools and 3D modeling software in creating efficient and accurate
designs. The design process involved selecting materials, determining dimensions,
and analyzing the coupling's performance. The successful completion of this
project provides a valuable resource for students, enhancing their understanding
of mechanical power transmission systems and the role of Oldham couplings. The
project demonstrates the application of theoretical knowledge in a practical
setting, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world engineering
practice.
