“…Hub is a general term that represents many different machine components such as gears, bearings, pulleys, cams, wheels, etc. [1][2][3][4]. Briefly, this method consists of forcing to pass a shaft into a hub (the radial dimension of both components must be different) by applying an axial force to the shaft [5].…”

Press fits are a simple and effective method for assembling a shaft into a hub for different applications in the mechanical engineering field. This method consists of forcing to pass a shaft into a hub via axial insertion. As a result of the difference in the diameters of both components of the shaft and hub, a radial interference is generated, causing a contact pressure at the interface shaft–hub. Contact pressure and the friction coefficient are key factors influencing the maximum transmitted torque. So, in this study, different scenarios for the assembly of a press fit were simulated using finite elements (FE) in order to reveal the influence of this key parameter on the manufacturing-induced stresses in the hub. This way, different friction conditions were considered in terms of the friction coefficient from the frictionless case to a case of high dry friction. In addition, different hub geometries were analyzed including conventional hubs and chamfer hubs with optimal geometry that allows lowering the localized stress concentrations at the hub edges. This way, a more realistic estimation of the final stress state of a press fit is obtained. According to the obtained results, the friction coefficient is revealed as a key parameter in the resulting stress field, causing a non-uniform distribution of stress that can affect the mechanical performance of the press-fit assembly.
