Jacks
used alone or in multiple arrangements require couplings to transmit
power to the input shaft. Nook Industries provides jaw type and
flex type couplings for use with jacks. The selection process for
couplings includes the following steps:
1) Refer to the jack specification tables
to determine torque requirements per jack for your application.
2) Determine total coupling capacity required
by multiplying the torque required per jack by the number of jacks
to be driven by the coupling.
3) Check the torque required against maximum
torque rating as shown in the table. Select a coupling with a maximum
torque greater than the application torque.
4) If using flex type couplings, full-flex
couplings should be used for close coupled arrangements. For floating
shaft applications, use two Flex- Rigid couplings. The rigid half
should be mounted on the floating shaft.
All jacks, shafts, couplings and motor should
be carefully aligned for maximum performance. Couplings with bores
other than those specified are available upon request. |
