This document calculates the required bolt size for a universal joint based on the applied torque, length, and safety factor to determine the total load. It then lists material properties for a grade 8 steel bolt including tensile strength, yield strength, shear strength, diameter, shear area, and allowable shear load. The calculations show the 10mm bolt has an allowable shear load greater than the total load and is therefore the selected bolt size.
