Abstract: One of important part in coupling is trunion which is a part of rotating joint where shaft is inserted into. This allows precise tolerances to be maintained along with large surface in contact, so that power is transferred efficiently. Hence there is a vital role of trunion in transmission which outlines the efficiency of transmission system and power transfer is also affected by it.Hence it is necessary to do detail study and analysis of transmission coupling withtrunion. To overcome the certainlimitations like excess strain on joint, wearing of joint, Thompson type constant velocity joint (CV) or Thompson coupling with trunion joint is considered under the optimization study ,which may offer features like minimizing side loads, higher misalignment capabilities, more operating speeds, improved efficiency of transmission and many more. This work presents comparative study for optimization of Thompson type coupling for angular transmission with Phosphor Bronze and Brass material for trunion joint over conventional Alloy steel. © 2015 The Authors.
