S-Flex Assortment

Process
S-Flex Coupling Assortment Course of action
The selection method for figuring out the proper S-Flex coupling necessitates using the charts shown within the following pages. There are actually 3 elements to get selected, two flanges and one sleeve.
Information needed in advance of a coupling is usually picked:
HP and RPM of Driver or working torque
Shaft size of Driver and Driven gear and corresponding keyways
Application or tools description
Environmental circumstances (i.e. intense temperature, corrosive situations, room limitations)
Techniques In Picking out An S-Flex Coupling
Phase 1: Decide the Nominal Torque in in-lb of one’s application by using the following formula:
Nominal Torque = (HP x 63025)/RPM
Phase two: Using the Application Support Issue Chart 1 decide on the services component which greatest corresponds to your application.
Phase 3: Calculate the Style and design Torque of your application by multiplying the Nominal Torque calculated in Phase 1 from the Application Service Issue established in Phase 2.
Layout Torque = Nominal Torque x Application Service Component
Step 4: Using the Sleeve Overall performance Information Chart two select the sleeve material which greatest corresponds for your application.
Phase 5: Utilizing the S-Flex Nominal Rated Torque Chart three locate the proper sleeve materials column for your sleeve picked in Phase four.
Phase six: Scan down this column on the initially entry wherever the Torque Value from the column is better than or equal to the Style and design Torque calculated in Phase three.
Refer towards the greatest RPM value in the coupling size to be sure that the application prerequisites are met. If your maximum RPM value is significantly less compared to the application necessity, S-Flex couplings are certainly not suggested for your application.
Note:
If Nominal Torque is much less than 1/4 from the coupling’s nominalrated torque, misalignment capacities are lowered by 1/2. Once torque worth is found, refer to the corresponding coupling dimension during the initially column of the S-Flex Nominal Rated Torque Data Chart three .
Step 7: Examine the application driver/driven shaft sizes for the highest bore size available within the coupling chosen. If coupling max bore is just not large adequate for your shaft diameter, pick the next biggest coupling that could accommodate the driver/driven shaft diameters.
Phase eight: Utilizing the Item Selection tables, discover the appropriate Keyway and Bore size demanded and find the variety.
