The process for selecting a disc coupling is
outlined on page 16. As a guide, the
suggested service factors are applicable to
the procedure are shown below. The
different ranges of coupling are
designed to suit specific application areas
as described in the relevant sections of
the brochure. As such, stress levels, etc., in
certain units, together with the predicted
installation accuracy, dictate the use of
slightly different factors. These are
coupling range specific. and are sectioned
as such below.
The following list does not specify
individual machine types but groups by
nature of the Driver & Driven equipment.
A more detailed list is available on
request. If you should require assistance
or clarification, please do not hesitate to
contact Bibby Turboflex.
eg. with factors B & c selected for use on a general purpose coupling,
only a factor of 2.0 need be applied.
recommend, a 1.5 service factor be applied
as a minimum to the HS couplings.
