Coupling Selection Procedure

  • Select Service Factor (Table 1).
  • Nominal power multiplied by Service Factor equals temporary designed power K
  • Designed power should then be multiplied by Factor L (Table 2) and S (Table 3).
  • K x L x S gives the design power, which is used for coupling selection in Table 4.
  • Check from dimensional tables that chosen coupling has room to be mounted.
