Procedure of Selection
Type selection
By referring to Couplicon selected from the table, Couplicon selected based on motor, and Couplicon selected based on application, select the most appropriate Couplicon type.
Size selection
Be sure to select a size with performance of rated torque higher than the load torque of the system.
The rated torque is a value with load variation during operation considered and does not require correction at the time of selection.
Select the size so that the load torque generated by continuous operation may not be more than the rated torque.
Torque correction by operating temperature
For couplings that use rubber or resin, the rated torque and maximum torque may vary depending on the operating temperature (excluding MSXP, MOP, and MOHS).
If the ambient temperature exceeds 30 °C, apply the correction factors shown in the table below to both the rated torque and maximum torque.
Ambient temperature | Temperature correction factor |
---|---|
-20℃~30℃ | 1.00 |
30℃~40℃ | 0.80 |
40℃~60℃ | 0.70 |
60℃~120℃ | 0.55 |
Note that the correction factors can only be applied within the allowable operating temperature range of each coupling.
For details on operating temperature, please refer here.
For all-metal couplings, as well as MSXP, MOP, and MOHS, the effect of temperature on torque reduction is minimal, thus, no correction using this table is required.
Checking of Max. Bore Diameter and Max. Rotational Frequency
Ensure that both of the max. bore diameter and max.
rotational frequency exceed the bore diameter and
rotational frequency specified in the design
conditions.
If either or both of the max. bore
diameter and max. rotational frequency are not
satisfied, change the size.
Summary
Finally, ensure that other items also satisfy the design conditions by referring to the Dimension / Performance table.
