Adhesive slip-fit joint (shaft in a bore)
Maximum shear force and transmissible torque for an adhesive slip-fit joint of a shaft in a bore, from bond diameter, length and adhesive shear strength.

Maximum shear force, F = τ·π·d·L37.69911184307752 kN
Maximum transmissible torque, T = F·d/2376.9911184307752 Nm
The legacy source never rounds F or T (unlike nearly all other calculators on the site) — this port reproduces that and returns unrounded values.
Method & references
- Adhesive slip-fit joint of a shaft in a bore — maximum shear force and transmissible torque from bond geometry and adhesive shear strength.
- Note: the strength of an adhesive joint also depends on bonding quality, temperature, fatigue loading and ageing.
