Nylon Chain Coupling  Selection

1. Operating conditions

  • (1) Daily operating hours
  • (2) Load characteristics and type of motor
  • (3) Transmitted power or torque, and rotation speed
  • (4) Outer diameters of connected shafts

2. Selection Method

  • (1) Obtain the service factor from the table of service factors on the right-hand side according to the operating conditions.
  • (2) Multiply the transmitted power [kW] (or torque) by the service factor to calculate the correction transmission power [kW] (or correction torque).
  • (3) Use the transmission capacity table to select a coupling that satisfies the correction transmission power (or correction torque) at the operating rotation speed. (See Table below. )
  • (4) If the required shaft diameter exceeds the maximum shaft diameter of the coupling selected, adopt a coupling a size larger.
  • (5) In the low speed range, the contact pressure may become excessive when using a standard key. In this case, consider whether or not it will be necessary to use a special key or spline bore by calculating key contact pressure.
  • (6) When choosing a coupling for direct connection to a motor, refer to the Direct Motor Connection Selection Table below.
