Does Rated Speed Matter?

2022-06-25 09:02

Speed ​​is another very important selection criterion. Couplings that are not rated for their design speed can lead to rapid, and sometimes catastrophic, failure. It is necessary to use a balanced coupling design in high speed operation. Also consider the stiffness of the coupling, as high speeds can cause the coupling to distort. When selecting models, please pay more attention to the rated speed of the coupling. Never make adverse changes to the dynamic balance before and after installation. Remember that any shaft deviation will significantly affect the safe running speed of the coupling.
