SIZING AND SELECTION GEAR COUPLINGS BZ
Symbols
| TKN | Rated torque of the coupling (Nm) |
| TAN | Rated torque of the drive (Nm) |
| SA | Shock or load factor |
| P | Drive power (kW) |
n | Rotational speed (rqm) |

According to torque
1. Calculate the drive torque at speed TAN.
2. Determine the required torque rating of the coupling TKN based on the drive torque TAN multiplied by the shock or load factor SA (see page 17)
Sample calculation:
Coupling between an electric motor
(P=1000 kW at n=980 rpm) and a transmission, driving a screw conveyor (SA=1.6).
