ECHT-FLEX Coupling NES Series Selection

1. Calculation of correction torque

1-1.

Service factor (SF)
Load Type Uniform Load Moderately fluctuating load Extremely fluctuating load
Service factor (SF) 1.2 1.4 1.5

1-2. When connecting with a general-purpose motor, etc.

T = 9550 × P n

  • T' = T × SF
  • T = Load torque N・m
  • P = transmitted power kW
  • n = rotational speed r/min
  • T' = Corrected torque N・m
Service factor (SF)
Load Type Type of engine
General-purpose electric motors, gas turbines engine
When the moment
 of inertia 
is small
When the moment
of inertia 
is large
4-cylinder 6-cylinder 8-cylinder
Uniform Load 1.5~1.75 1.75~2.0 2.5~4.0 2.0~2.5 1.5~2.0
Moderately fluctuating load 2.0~2.5 2.5~3.0 4.0~5.0 2.5~3.5 2.0~3.0
Extremely fluctuating load 3.0~4.5 4.5~6.0 4.5~5.5 3.0~4.0 2.5~3.5
  • *If an impact load is applied, multiply the maximum torque that the motor can produce by an impact coefficient of 1 to 2.5 to obtain the corrected torque.
  • * Make sure that no torque exceeding the friction transmission torque of the shaft hole (see each product page) is applied, even momentarily, including the starting torque.

2. Shaft diameter

Make sure that the mounting shaft is within the range of shaft diameters that can be mounted on the coupling.

For clamp types, make sure that the compensation torque calculated in step 1 is within the transmission torque of the clamp.

If you are installing it on a hollow shaft, you will need to check the strength, so please contact us.

3. Precautions when driving servo motors

In a Ball screw drive system using a servo motor, due to the characteristics of the servo motor, oscillation can be amplified depending on the natural frequency of the entire Ball screw drive system and the electrical control status, resulting in large vibrations and abnormal noise.

In such cases, you can avoid this by adjusting the torsional rigidity and moment of inertia of the entire drive system to increase the torsional natural frequency of the mechanical system, or by adjusting the servo gain using the servo motor's electrical control tuning function.

4.Model selection
