What are the design criteria to be considered in coupling selection?

2022-06-25 08:59

Coupling selection takes into account a range of design criteria: application conditions, torque, deflection, stiffness, inertia, rotational speed, shaft installation, environmental factors, space constraints, operating rates, cost, and more. All criteria should be taken into consideration when sizing to ensure that the coupling is functioning properly and will not fail prematurely. These issues should be paid attention to during the initial selection and subsequent improvement.
