Use the application to define the drive duty
Coupling and cardan-shaft selection begins with the actual machine, load pattern, shaft arrangement and installation conditions. Application fields considered for this product range include the following industrial equipment contexts.
Metallurgy
Review shock load, reversing duty, roll-line geometry, surrounding heat and maintenance access.
Mining
Review starting torque, dust, impact loading, alignment and guarding requirements.
Cement
Review continuous duty, dust exposure, peak torque and access for inspection or lubrication.
Paper
Review continuous operating speed, alignment, production continuity and maintenance intervals.
Power
Review speed, torsional duty, shaft interfaces, reliability requirements and operating environment.
Chemical processing
Review corrosion, temperature, sealing environment and material requirements.
Wind power
Review variable load, reversing conditions, environmental exposure and service access.
Petroleum
Review hazardous-area requirements, corrosion, duty cycle and equipment interfaces.
Port machinery
Review outdoor exposure, shock load, reversing, braking and high-utilization duty.
Information required for preliminary review
- Driving and driven equipment
- Power, operating speed, nominal torque and peak torque
- Starts, stops, reversing, shock load and braking conditions
- Shaft diameters, bore forms, keyways and installed length
- Radial, axial and angular displacement
- Temperature, dust, humidity, corrosion and outdoor exposure
Application name is not enough
Two machines in the same industry may require different coupling structures. Use the application only as context; confirm the selected family and model from the actual operating and connection data.
