SKF Couplings
Flexible couplings are devices used to mechanically connect two shafts to transmit power from one shaft to the other. They are also able to compensate for shaft misalignment in a torsionally rigid way. Misalignment can be angular, parallel or skew. This is particularly important for applications where misalignment could affect the velocity and acceleration of the driven shaft. The performance of the coupling depends largely upon how it is installed, aligned and maintained. In response to industry's ultimate need to produce more with less, SKF has combined its knowledge and experience with the latest technology to develop solutions for a variety of applications and operating conditions. Whether the goal is to design equipment that provides more customer value, or to improve overall profitability, SKFs experience and expertise can help you meet your goals. SKF offers a wide range of standard and customised coupling products. SKF Couplings cover a wide range of coupling types, sizes and capacity ratings for many applications and factory environments. For large, heavy duty applications, SKF has large size couplings. These couplings, which provide optimum contact with the shaft, can accommodate high torque values, while reducing power loss and minimizing the effects of misalignment.
SKF Grid Couplings

In high output (kW) and high torque applications where vibration, shock loads and misalignment occur, SKF Grid Couplings are an excellent choice. The unique design of the grid and hub teeth enable these couplings to accommodate movement and stresses from all three planes, which can reduce vibration levels by as much as 30%. The tapered grid element is manufactured from a high strength alloy steel. The grid, which, is the primary wear component of the coupling is designed for quick and easy replacement. Unlike other couplings, the hubs and other components are not disturbed. This makes realignment unnecessary and further reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Selection
Standard selection method
This selection procedure can be used for most motor, turbine, or engine driven applications. The following information is required to select an SKF grid coupling: Torque power [kW] Speed [r/min] Type of equipment and application Shaft diameters Shaft gaps Physical space limitation Special bore or finish information Exceptions to use of the standard selection method are for high peak loads and brake applications. For these, use the formula selection method or contact SKF.
1 Determine system torque If torque is not given, use the following formula to calculate for torque (T) System torque = Power [kW] 9 549 Speed [r/min]
2 Service factor Determine the service factor from tables 7 and 8 on pages 60 and 61. 3 Coupling rating Determine the required minimum coupling rating as shown below: Coupling rating = service factor torque [Nm] 4 Size Select the appropriate coupling from the torque column of the product tables on pages 12 to 14 with a value that is equal to or greater than that determined in step 3 above and check that the chosen coupling can accommodate both driving and driven shafts. 5 Other considerations Possible other restrictions might be speed [r/min], bore, gap and dimensions.

Standard selection example

Select a coupling to connect a 30 kW, 1 440 r/min electric motor that is driving a boiler feed pump. The motor shaft diameter is 55 mm, pump shaft diameter is 45 mm. Shaft extensions are 140 mm and 110 mm. The coupling to be selected will replace a gear type coupling with a 3 mm gap. 1 Determine system torque System torque [Nm] = 30 kW 9 549 = 199 nm 1 440 r/min 2 Service factor From table 7 on page 60 = 1,50 3 Required coupling rating 1,5 199 Nm = 298,5 Nm
1 High peak loads Use one of the following formulas (A, B, or C) for: Motors with higher than normal torque characteristics. Applications with intermittent operations resulting in shock loads. Inertia effects due to frequent stops and starts or repetitive high peak torques. Peak torque is the maximum torque that can exist in the system. Select a coupling with a torque rating equal to or exceeding the selection torque values obtained from the formulas below. A Non-reversing peak torque selection Torque [Nm] = system peak torque or
2 Brake applications If the torque rating of the brake exceeds the motor torque, use the brake rating as follows: Selection Torque [Nm] = Brake torque rating service factor.
Formula selection example

High peak load Select a coupling for reversing service to connect a gear drive low speed shaft to a metal forming mill drive. The electric motor rating is 30 kW and the system peak torque at the coupling is estimated to be 9 000 Nm. Coupling speed is 66 r/min at the gear drive output with a shaft gap (between ends) of 180 mm. 1 Type Refer to product tables on pages 12 to 14 and select the appropriate coupling type. 2 Required minimum coupling rating Use the reversing high peak torque formula in step 1B. 2 9 000 Nm = 18 000 Nm = Selection torque 3 Size From product table on page 12, size 1130 with a torque rating of 19 900 which exceeds the selection torque of 18 000 Nm. 4 Other considerations Grid coupling size 1130 has a maximum DBSE dimension (distance between shaft ends) of 205 mm; the shaft hub has a maximum bore of 190 mm. Note See product table on page 12. The T hub has a maximum bore of 170 mm and the allowable speed of 1 800 r/min.
4 Size From product tables on page 12, the coupling size 1060 is the proper selection based on the torque rating of 684 Nm which exceeds the required minimum rating of 298,5 Nm as well as accommodating driving and driven shaft diameter requirements. 5 Other considerations The speed capacity of 4 500 (coupling size 1060) exceeds the required speed of 1 440 r/min. The maximum bore capacity of 57 mm exceeds the required shaft diameters of 55 mm and 45 mm. The resulting service factor is 2,29. This will provide a very good service life for the coupling and a high level of reliability.
Selection torque [Nm] = System peak kW 9 549 r/min B Reversing high peak torque Selection torque [Nm] = 2 system peak torque r/min C Occasional peak torques (non-reversing) If a system peak torque occurs less than 1 000 times during the expected coupling life, use the following formula: Selection torque [Nm] = 0,5 system peak torque or Selection torque [Nm] =
Formula method
The standard selection method can be used for most coupling selections. However, the formula method, should be used for: high peak loads brake applications (if a brake wheel is to be an integral part of the coupling) By including the systems peak torque, frequency, duty cycle and brake torque ratings, a more accurate result will be obtained.

Installation
The performance of the coupling depends largely upon how it is installed, aligned and maintained. SKF Grid Couplings are designed to operate in either a horizontal or a vertical position without modification. 1 Mount the seals and the hubs Clean all metal parts using non-flammable solvent and check hubs, shafts and keyways for burrs and remove if necessary. Lightly coat the seals with grease and place well back on the shafts before mounting the hubs. Mount the hubs on their respective shafts so that each hub face is flush with the end of the shafts (1). 2 Gap and angular alignment Using a feeler gauge equal in thickness to the gap specified in table 4 on page 6. Insert the gauge as shown in image 2 to the same depth at 90 intervals and measure the clearance between the gauge and hub face. The difference in the minimum and the maximum measurements must not exceed the angular limits specified in table 4 on page 6. 3 Offset alignment Align the two hubs so that a straight edge rests squarely on both hubs and also at 90 intervals (3). The clearance must not exceed the parallel offset installation limits specified in table 4 on page 6. Tighten all foundation bolts and repeat steps 2 and 3. Realign the application if necessary. 4 Mount the grid Pack the gap and all of the grooves in the two hubs with a specified lubricant ( page 62) before mounting the grid. Fit the grid over the hubs by starting at one cut end, work the coils of the grid tooth by tooth in one direction and seat firmly as you go with a soft mallet (4).
5 Pack with grease and assemble the covers Pack the spaces between and around the grid with as much lubricant as possible and wipe off the excess so that it is flush with the top of the grid (5). Position the seals on hubs so they line up with the grooves in the cover. Position gaskets on the flanges of the lower cover half and assemble the covers so that the match marks are on the same side. Push gaskets in until they stop against the seals and secure cover halves with the fasteners provided and tighten them accordingly. Make sure that the gaskets stay in position during this tightening procedure (7). Once the coupling is completely assembled, remove both of the lubrication plugs in the cover and insert a lubrication fitting. Then, pump in the appropriate lubricant until it is forced out of the opposite lubrication hole (8). Replace the two lubrication plugs and the installation is complete.
Grid removal
Whenever it is necessary to replace the grid, first remove the cover halves and set aside. Beginning at the cut end of the grid, carefully insert a screwdriver into the loop (9). Using the hub teeth for leverage, gradually pry the grid up, alternating sides while working around the coupling. SKF does not recommend re-using the removed grid.

SKF Gear Couplings

Very high-torque ratings, along with unparalleled bore capacities, give this coupling a great advantage over other types of couplings. SKF Gear Couplings are rated up to 555 000 Nm with a maximum bore of 495 mm. This is a heavy duty coupling with incredible design flexibility, making it an economical choice for many applications. The unique design of the gear couplings tooth crowning dramatically reduces backlash and radial clearance. The hub bore capacities are the largest in the industry, allowing for low cost and long service life.
Selection
Standard selection method
This selection procedure can be used for most motor, turbine, or engine driven applications. The following information is required to select an SKF gear coupling: Torque Power [kW] Speed [r/min] Type of equipment and application Shaft diameters Shaft gaps Physical space limitation Special bore or finish information
Exceptions to use of the standard selection method are for high peak loads and brake applications. For these, use the formula selection method or contact SKF.

1 Determine system torque If torque is not given, use the following formula to calculate for torque (T) System torque [Nm]= Power [kW] 9 549 Speed [r/min]
3 Required coupling rating 1,00 87 951 Nm = 87 951 Nm 4 Size From product table on page 22, the coupling size 60 is the proper selection based on the torque rating of 90 400 Nm which exceeds the required minimum rating of 87 951 Nm. 5 Other considerations The speed capacity of 2 450 (coupling size 60) exceeds the required speed of 38 r/min. The maximum bore capacity of 244 mm exceeds the required shaft diameters of 215 mm and 225 mm. The minimum required shaft length (J) of 169 mm is exceeded by the equipments shaft extensions of 280 mm. The resulting service factor is 1,03.
Selection torque [Nm] = System peak torque or Selection torque [Nm] = System peak kW 9 549 r/min B Reversing high peak torque Selection torque [Nm] = 1,5 system peak torque r/min C Occasional peak torques (non-reversing) If a system peak torque occurs less than 1 000 times during the expected coupling life, use the following formula: Selection torque [Nm] = 0,5 system peak torque or Selection torque [Nm] = ,5 system peak kW 9 549 0 r/min 2 Brake applications If the torque rating of the brake exceeds the motor torque, use the brake rating as follows: Selection torque [Nm] = Brake torque rating Service factor.
2 Service factor Determine the service factor with tables 7 and 8 on pages 60 and 61. 3 Coupling rating Determine the required minimum coupling rating as shown below: Coupling rating = service factor torque [Nm] 4 Size Select the appropriate coupling from the torque column of the product tables on pages 22 to 28 with a value that is equal to or greater than that determined in step 3 above and check that the chosen coupling can accommodate both driving and driven shafts. 5 Other considerations Possible other restrictions might be speed [r/min], bore, gap and dimensions.
Formula method
The standard selection method can be used for most coupling selections. However, the formula method should be used for: high peak loads brake applications (If a brake wheel is to be an integral part of the coupling) By including the systems peak torque, frequency, duty cycle and brake torque ratings, a more accurate result will be obtained. 1 High peak loads Use one of the following formulas (A, B, or C) for: Motors with higher than normal torque characteristics. Applications with intermittent operations shock loading. Inertia effects due to frequent stops and starts or repetitive high peak torques. Peak torque is the maximum torque that can exist in the system. Select a coupling with a torque rating equal to or exceeding the selection torque from the relevant formula below. A Non-reversing peak torque
Standard selection example

Select a coupling to connect the low speed shaft of an ore conveyor drive to a speed reducer. The 350 kW, 1 440 r/min electric motor is driving the reducer with an output speed of 38 r/min. The reducer low speed shaft diameter is 215 mm, the conveyor head shaft is 225 mm. Shaft extensions are both 280 mm. 1 Determine system torque System torque [Nm] = 350 kW 9 549 = 87 997 Nm 38 r/min
2 Service factor From table 7 on page 60 = 1,00

Formula selection example

High peak load Select a coupling for reversing service to connect a gear drive low speed shaft to a metal forming mill drive. The electric motor rating is 30 kW and the system peak torque estimated to be 9 000 Nm. Coupling speed is 66 r/min at the motor base speed. The drive shaft diameter is 90 mm. The metal forming mill drive shaft diameter is 120 mm. 1 Type Refer to page 20 and select the appropriate coupling type. 2 Required minimum coupling rating Use the reversing high peak torque formula in step 1B. 1,5 9 000 Nm = 13 500 Nm = Selection torque 3 Size From product table on page 22, size 35 with a torque rating of 18 500 exceeds the selection torque of 13 500 Nm. 4 Other considerations Gear coupling size 35 has a maximum bore capacity of 124 mm from product table on page 22 and the allowable speed of 3 900 r/min exceeds the equipment requirements.

Installation
The performance of the coupling depends largely upon how it is installed, aligned and maintained. 1 Mount the flanged sleeves with the seal rings before the hubs Clean all metal parts using non-flammable solvent and check hubs, shafts and keyways for burrs and remove if necessary. Lightly coat the seals with grease and place well back on the shafts before mounting the hubs. Optionally both shafts can be lubricated with light oil or antiseize compound. Mount the hubs on their respective shafts so that each hub face is flush with the end of the shaft unless otherwise indicated (1). 2 Gap and angular alignment Use a feeler gauge equal in thickness to the gap specified in table 2 on page 19. Insert the gauge as shown in image 2 to the same depth at 90 intervals and measure the clearance between the gauge and hub face. The difference in the minimum and the maximum measurements must not exceed the angular limits specified in table 2 on page 19. 3 Offset alignment Align the two hubs so that a straight edge rests squarely on both hubs as in image 3, and also at 90 intervals. The clearance must not exceed the parallel offset installation limits specified in table 2 on page 19. Tighten all foundation bolts (4) and repeat steps 2 and 3. Realign the coupling if necessary. 4 Pack with grease and assemble the sleeves Pack the gears of the hubs with grease. Insert the gasket between the sleeves and position the sleeves with the lubrication holes approximately 90 apart. Then push the sleeves into position and using the supplied fasteners, bolt the sleeves together. Once the coupling is assembled, remove the lubrication plugs from the sleeves. Insert a grease fitting in one of the holes and pump grease into the sleeve until it is forced out of the opposite lubrication holes (5). Replace the lubrication plugs. The installation is complete.

Floating shaft gear couplings

The SKF floating shaft coupling consists of two standard single engagement couplings, two gap discs and a connector shaft. A floating shaft can eliminate the requirement for additional bearing supports along the spanning shaft because the shaft is supported at the ends by connected equipment through the single engagement couplings.

Flex hubs on floating shafts

Assembly of the flex hubs on the floating shaft allows for easier replacement in case of coupling wear and allows the rigid hubs with their larger bore capacities to be used on the connected equipment shafts. This often allows for smaller coupling sizes in the design. See drawings on page 33.
Rigid hubs on floating shaft

When the rigid hubs are on the floating shaft, shorter shaft spans can be used since no cover drawback is required. Since the flex hubs are on the outboard side, the points of articulation are further apart, thus allowing for greater offset misalignment. See drawings on page 33.
Assembly torque ratings are limited by the coupling size, shaft end diameter or both. Interpolate for intermediate speeds. The maximum DBSE is based on 70% of the critical speed.

Solid floating shaft selection

Single engagement type GCSE and GCSEV couplings are used with floating shafts in either horizontal or vertical applications. For vertical applications, select a type V coupling for the lower assembly. Select floating shaft couplings as follows: 1 Use the standard or formula selection methods and see product tables on page 32 and 33 to select the coupling. Record the system torque from the standard method or the selection torque from formula method. 2 Select the shaft diameter from product tables on pages 32 and 33 that has an assembly torque rating equal to or greater than the system or the selection torque determined in the coupling selection. 3 Check the maximum DBSE for the shaft diameter you selected and the running speed for the shaft length required from product tables on page 32 and 33. Refer to the graph in diagram 1 on page 30 to determine if the shaft requires balancing. 4 If the application shaft length exceeds the maximum DBSE listed, you must select the next larger shaft diameter or the next larger size coupling.

SKF Flex Couplings

SKF Flex Couplings are designed to accommodate misalignment and shock loads and dampen vibration levels. These easy to install, maintenance-free couplings are available with either a machined-to-size or tapered bore. Couplings with a tapered bore can be Face (F) mounted or Hub (H) mounted. The more versatile Reversible (R) design can be either face or hub mounted depending on the application. These couplings are also available with a tapered bushing. SKF Flex Couplings consist of 2 flanges and 1 tyre. The flanges are phosphate coated for improved corrosion resistance. The addition of a standard sized spacer flange can be used to accommodate applications where it is advantageous to move either shaft axially without disturbing either driving or driven machines. SKF Flex tyres are available in natural rubber compounds for applications ranging from 50 to +50 C. Chloroprene rubber compounds should be used in applications where exposure to greases and oils are likely. These compounds can accommodate temperatures ranging from 15 to +70 C. The chloroprene tyres should be used where fire-resistance and anti-static (F.R.A.S.) properties are required.
Selection
1 Service factor Determine the required service factor from tables 7 and 8 on pages 60 and 61. 2 Design power Multiply the normal running power by the service factor. This gives the design power for coupling selection. 3 Coupling size Using the data from table 1 on page 35, find the speed rating for a coupling that has a power that is greater than the design power. The required SKF Flex coupling is listed at the head of the column. 4 Bore size Using product tables on page 38 and 39, check if the chosen flanges can accommodate both the driving and driven shafts.
4 Bore size By referring to product tables on page 38 and 39, it can be seen that both shaft diameters fall within the bore range available. Please note that for this coupling the bore sizes for the Face and Hub design are different.
Engineering data
Power ratings
Maximum torque figures should be treated as short duration overload ratings occurring in circumstances such as direct-on-line starting. For speeds not shown, calculate the nominal torque for the design application using the formula below and select a coupling based on the nominal torque ratings. Nominal torque (Nm) = Design power (kW) 9 549 r/min For additional information about SKF Flex Couplings, see table 1 and 2.
Example
A SKF Flex coupling is required to transmit 30 kW from an electric motor running at 1 440 r/min to a centrifugal pump for 14 hours per day. The diameter of the motor shaft is 30 mm. The diameter of the pump shaft is 25 mm. A tapered bore is required. 1 Service factor The appropriate service factor is 1. See tables 7 and 8 on pages 60 and 61. 2 Design power Design power = 30 1 = 30 kW 3 Coupling size By searching for 1 440 r/min in table 1 on page 35, the first power figure to exceed the required 30 kW in step (2) is 37,70 kW. The size of the coupling is 70.

Installation
1 All metal components should be cleaned. Be sure to remove the protective coating on the flange bores. The tapered bushings should be placed into the flanges and the screws lightly tightened. 2 If internal clamping rings are being used (size 4060), position them onto the shaft (1). Place the flanges next to the clamping ring on each shaft and position them so that dimension M is obtained between the flange faces ( table 4). Where tapered bushings are used, see separate fitting instructions supplied with the taper bushes. Flanges with external clamping rings (sizes 70250) should have the clamping rings fitted when installing, engaging only two or three of the threads of each screw at this time. These flanges should be positioned so that M is obtained by measuring the gap between the flange faces. 3 If shaft end float is to occur, locate the shafts at mid-position of end float when checking dimension M. Note that shaft ends may project beyond the faces of the flanges if required. In these cases, allow sufficient space between shaft ends for end float and misalignment. 4 Parallel alignment should be checked by placing a straight edge across the flanges at various points around the circumference (3). Angular alignment is checked by measuring the gap between the flanges at several positions around the circumference. Align the coupling as accurately as possible, particularly on high-speed applications. 5 Spread the tyre side walls apart and fit over the coupling flanges, making sure that the tyre beads seat properly on the flanges and clamping rings. To make sure that the tyre sits properly in position, it may be necessary to strike the outside diameter of the tyre with a small mallet (4). When the tyre is correctly positioned there, should be a gap between the ends of the tyre as shown in table 5 (5). 6 Tighten clamping ring screws (6) alternately and evenly (half turn at a time), working round each flange until the required screw torque is achieved ( table 4).

SKF Flex Spacer Coupling

The SKF Flex coupling spacer is used to join two shaft ends that cannot be positioned close enough to just use a coupling alone. The spacer also allows removal of a shaft without the need to move either the driving or the driven machine. For example, this allows easy and fast replacement of impellers in pump applications.

Installation
1 Place each tapered bushing in the correct flange and tighten the screws lightly. 2 If keys are being used, side fitting keys with top clearance should be used. 3 Use a straight edge to align the face of the clamping ring for coupling sizes F40F60 ( fig. 1a) or the flange for coupling sizes F70F250 ( fig. 1b) with the shaft end. A dial indicator can be used to check that the runout of the spacer flange is within limits indicated in fig. 1a and b. Position the SKF Flex flange on the spacer flange shaft to dimension Y shown in table 7 and secure it with a tapered bushing. This will allow for M and DBSE dimensions ( fig. 1c) to be maintained when assembling. If necessary, the distance between shaft ends (DBSE) may be extended. The maximum DBSE possible is achieved when the spacer shaft end and driven shaft end are flush with the face of their respective tapered bushings.
4 Position the spacer sub-assembly in line with the spacer flange ( fig. 1d), engage spigot align holes and insert screws. The torque values are given in table 8. Spread the tyre side walls apart and fit over the coupling flanges making sure that the tyre beads seat properly on the flanges and clamping rings. To make sure that the tyre sits properly in position, it may be necessary to strike the outside diameter of the tyre with a small mallet. When the tyre is correctly positioned, there should be a gap between the ends of the tyre as shown in table 5. 5 Tighten the clamping ring screws alternately and evenly (half turn at a time), working around each flange until the required screw torque is achieved, as indicated in table 8.

To dismantle
1 Place a support underneath the spacer sub-assembly to prevent it from falling. 2 Remove clamping ring screws evenly (half turn per screw at a time) to prevent the clamping rings from distorting. 3 When the clamping rings are loose, remove the tyre. Then remove the remaining screws and spacer.

SKF Chain Couplings

Chain couplings are able to transmit higher torque than their shafts, making them ideal for high torque applications. Available with a pilot bore, finished bore or tapered bushing (face or hub), flanges are linked together with duplex roller chains enabling them to accommodate up to 2 of misalignment. To help provide maximum service life and reliability, particularly for high speed applications, SKF recommends fitting all chain couplings with a cover and lubricating them properly. If a chain coupling is to be subjected to reversing operations, shock or pulsating loads, or other severe operating conditions, select a coupling one size larger than normal. 3 Size Select the appropriate coupling from the product table on page 47 and check that chosen flanges can accommodate both driven and driving shafts. 4 Other considerations Possible other restrictions might be speed [r/min], bore and dimensions.
Table 1
Coupling covers
W

Selection
Standard selection method This selection procedure can be used for most motor, turbine, or engine driven applications. The following information is required to select an SKF chain coupling: Torque power [kW] Input speed [r/min] Type of equipment and application Shaft diameters Physical space limitations Special bore or finish requirements 1 Service factor Determine the service factor from table 7 and 8 on page 60 and 61. 2 Design power Determine the required minimum design power as shown below: Design power = Service factor normal running power [kW] Using table 2 on page 45, search for the appropriate speed until a power rating greater than the design power is found. The required chain coupling size is listed at the head of the table. 44
1 Service factor From table 8 on page 61 = 1,50 2 Required design power: 1,5 30 kW = 45 kW 3 Coupling size Look under 1 500 r/min in table 2 on page 45 and choose the first power figure which exceeds the required 45 kW. This is 95,2 kW of coupling size 1218. By referring to the product table on page 47, it can be seen that both shaft diameters fall within the bore range available. 4 Other considerations The speed capacity of 3 000 r/min (coupling size 1218) exceeds the required speed of 1 500 r/min. The maximum bore capacity of 62 mm exceeds the required shaft diameters of 55 mm and 45 mm. The resulting service factor is 2,11. This will provide a very good service life for the coupling and a high level of reliability.

SKF FRC Couplings

With a higher load capacity than jaw couplings and maintenance-free operation, FRC couplings are designed as a general purpose coupling. They are able to cushion moderate shock loads, dampen low levels of vibration and accommodate incidental misalignment. FRC couplings offer a range of hubs and elements to select, to meet the demand for low cost, general purpose flexible coupling. FRC couplings are phosphate coated for improved corrosion resistance and available with fire-resistant and anti-static elements (F.R.A.S.) FRC couplings are available with a pilot bore, finished bore or tapered bushing (face or hub) to make installation quick and simple. Fully machined outside surfaces allow alignment with a simple straight edge. Shaft connections are fail safe due to their interlocking jaw design.
Example
An FRC coupling is required to transmit 15 kW from an electric motor running at 500 r/min to a rotary pump for 15 hours per day. The shaft diameter of the motor is 25 mm and the shaft diameter of the pump is 20 mm. 1 Service factor From table 7 on page 60 = 1,75. 2 Design power 15 1,75 = 26,25 kW 3 Coupling size Search for 500 r/min in table 1 on page 49 and choose the first power figure which exceeds the required 26,25 kW. This is 31,41 kW of coupling size 150. 4 Bore size By referring to product table on page 51, it can be seen that both shaft diameters fall within the bore range available.
Order data
A complete FRC coupling consists of: 2 hubs and 1 element. For more detailed information on ordering specific couplings, refer to table 3.
Selection
1 Service factor Determine the required service factor from tables 7 and 8 on pages 60 and 61. 2 Design power Multiply normal running power by the service factor. This gives the design power for coupling selection. 3 Coupling size Using FRC table 1 on page 49 to find the speed rating for a coupling that has a power that is greater than the design power. The required FRC coupling is listed at the head of the column. 4 Bore size Using the FRC product table on page 51, check that the selected flanges can accommodate both the drive and driven shafts.

Installation
1 Place the couplings on their shafts so that shaft ends do not protrude into the internal section of the coupling. Then tighten the screws on the tapered bushing to the torque values listed in the mounting instructions (1). 2 Insert the coupling element into one side of the coupling (2). 3 Move the other coupling into position and connect the two halves (4). Check that the assembled length is correct (5). 4 Check angular misalignment by measuring the assembled length in four positions at 90 around the coupling. Then check for parallel misalignment using a straight edge across the length of the coupling flange (6). Allowable angular misalignment for all FRC couplings is 1. Allowable parallel misalignment for FRC couplings is based on size ( table 4). Note For the most consistent results, check across at least 3 of the 6 points where the rubber elements are visible between the flanges.

SKF Jaw Couplings

Jaw couplings provide a cost-effective solution for standard power applications, cushioning moderate shock loads and dampening low vibration levels. Maintenance-free and easy to install, jaw couplings are available with a snap wrap element allowing element replacement in situ. Urethane and hytrel elements have a greater power rating than nitrile elements and are recommended for applications where a compact, high torque solution is required.
Example
A jaw coupling is required to transmit 4 kW from an electric motor running at 300 r/min to a centrifugal fan for 12 hours per day. The motor shaft is 20 mm diameter and the pump shaft diameter 18 mm.

In this case, a nitrile element can be used with a jaw coupling size 150. 4 Bore size By referring to the product table on page 55, it can be seen that both shaft diameters fall within the bore range available.

Selection
1 Service factor Determine the required service factor in tables 7 and 8 on pages 60 and 61. 2 Design power Multiply normal running power by the service factor. This gives the design power for selecting a coupling with a nitrile element. 3 Alternative elements To allow coupling selection based on one power rating table (nitrile), an element correction is required to give a new reference design power. This is done by dividing the design power calculated for a nitrile element by the alternative element power factor listed in table 1. 4 Coupling size Using table 2 on page 53, search for the appropriate speed until a power greater than the design power is found. The required jaw coupling is given at the head of the column. 5 Bore size Using prodcut table on page 55, check that the selected flanges can accommodate both the drive and driven shaft.
Order data
A complete jaw coupling consists of: 2 hubs and 1 element. A complete coupling with spacer consists of 2 hubs, 2 nitrile wrap elements, 2 ring kits and 1 spacer. For more detailed information on ordering specific couplings, refer to table 4.

NR = Nitrile UR = Urethane HL = Hytrel Available spacer shaft lengths are 100 mm and 140 mm. To complete the designation, add spacer length. For example: PHE L090X100SPACER for spacer of 100 mm, coupling size 090. When ordering bored to size and keywayed hubs, it is required that the bore diameter is added to the designation found in the table above. Where a keyway is NOT required, the designation should be suffixed with a P. PHE L150-18MM = Hub Size 150 with 18 mm bore and keyway. PHE L070-16MMP = Hub Size 070 with 16 mm bore (no keyway).

Installation
1 Place each coupling on its shaft so that shaft ends do not protrude into the internal section of the coupling (1). Then tighten the set screws. 2 Insert the coupling element into one side of the coupling (2). 3 Move the other coupling side into position and connect the two halves (3). Check that the assembled length is correct (4). 4 Check the angular misalignment by checking the assembled length in four positions at 90 around the coupling. Check parallel misalignment using a straight edge across the length of the coupling flange (5). Allowable angular misalignment for all jaw couplings is 1. Allowable parallel misalignment for all jaw couplings is 0,38 mm.
Note For most consistent results, check across at least 3 of the 6 points where the rubber elements are visible between the flanges.

SKF Universal Joints

Universal joints, also known as pin and block couplings, are commonly used for low to medium torque industrial, off-road and agricultural applications. These couplings offer an economical solution for applications up to 1 800 r/min and will provide working angles of up to 25 or 35 for manual drives. SKF offers these couplings with a solid bore from stock, bored to size, square, hexagonal and round bores on request. The couplings are available in either a single (UJMA) or double (UJMB) configuration.
Example
An electric motor is driving a small gearbox. The application has the following basic data. Power = 3 kW Speed = 1500 r/min Joint angle = 20 1 Determine the basic required torque kW 9 549 3 = 19,1 Nm 1 500 r/min 2 Adjust the torque value to accommodate a 20 angle of inclination. Table 1 lists a correction value of 0,75. The previously calculated basic torque rating must be divided by the correction factor in order to get the adjusted torque value. In other words, a joint with larger dimensions must be selected as the angle is greater than 10. 19,1 kW = 24,46 Nm 0,75 kg/m 3 From product table on page 57, the joint size UJMA13 is the proper selection.
Maximum allowable torque Angle up to 5 10 20 30 40 Factor F 1,25 1 0,75 0,45 0,30
Table 1
Selection
Universal joints are selected based on torque. The following application information is required: Torque power [kW] Speed [r/min] Joint angle [] The product tables on page 57 provide maximum allowable torque (expressed in Nm) based on a 10 angle of inclination and continuous use. However, if the inclination angle is not 10, the values shown will be reduced or increased in accordance with the torque factors listed in table 1. Torque is calculated using the following formula: Nominal torque (Nm) = Design power (kW) 9 549 r/min

General purpose grease

The specifications and lubricants in table 1 and 2 are for general purpose grease, whereas the specifications and lubricants in table 3 apply to SKF Gear Couplings. These specifications apply to couplings that are lubricated annually and that operate at tempera tures between 0 to 150 F (18 to 66 C). For temperatures beyond this range, consult SKF. If couplings leak grease, are exposed to extreme temperatures or excessive moisture or experience frequent reversals, more frequent lubrication may be required. Specifications: Dropping point 300 F (149 C) or higher Consistency NLGI 2 with worked penetration value in the range of 250300 (10-1 mm). Separation and resistance low oil separation rate and high resistance to separation from centrifuging. Liquid constituent should possess good lubricating properties, equivalent to high quality, well refined, petroleum oil. Inactive must not corrode steel or cause swelling or deterioration of synthetic seals.

SKF the knowledge engineering company

From the company that invented the selfaligning ball bearing more than 100 years ago, SKF has evolved into a knowledge engineering company that is able to draw on five technology platforms to create unique solutions for its customers. These platforms include bearings, bearing units and seals, of course, but extend to other areas including: lubricants and lubrication systems, critical for long bearing life in many applications; mechatronics that combine mechanical and electronics knowledge into systems for more effective linear motion and sensorized solutions; and a full range of services, from design and logistics support to condition monitoring and reliability systems. Though the scope has broadened, SKF continues to maintain the worlds leadership in the design, manufacture and marketing of rolling bearings, as well as complementary products such as radial seals. SKF also holds an increasingly important position in the market for linear motion products, highprecision aerospace bearings, machine tool spindles and plant maintenance services. The SKF Group is globally certified to ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management, as well as OHSAS 18001, the health and safety management standard. Individual divisions have been approved for quality certification in accordance with ISO 9001 and other customer specific requirements. With over 100 manufacturing sites worldwide and sales companies in 70 countries, SKF is a truly international corporation. In addition, our distributors and dealers in some 15 000 locations around the world, an e-business marketplace and a global distribution system put SKF close to customers for the supply of both products and services. In essence, SKF solutions are available wherever and whenever customers need them. Overall, the SKF brand and the corporation are stronger than ever. As the knowledge engineering company, we stand ready to serve you with world-class product competencies, intellectual resources, and the vision to help you succeed.

Evolving by-wire technology SKF has a unique expertise in the fast-growing bywire technology, from fly-by-wire, to drive-bywire, to work-by-wire. SKF pioneered practical flyby-wire technology and is a close working partner with all aerospace industry leaders. As an example, virtually all aircraft of the Airbus design use SKF by-wire systems for cockpit flight control.
SKF is also a leader in automotive by-wire technology, and has partnered with automotive engineers to develop two concept cars, which employ SKF mechatronics for steering and braking. Further by-wire development has led SKF to produce an all-electric forklift truck, which uses mechatronics rather than hydraulics for all controls.

Harnessing wind power The growing industry of wind-generated electric power provides a source of clean, green electricity. SKF is working closely with global industry leaders to develop efficient and trouble-free turbines, providing a wide range of large, highly specialized bearings and condition monitoring systems to extend equipment life of wind farms located in even the most remote and inhospitable environments.
Working in extreme environments In frigid winters, especially in northern countries, extreme sub-zero temperatures can cause bearings in railway axleboxes to seize due to lubrication starvation. SKF created a new family of synthetic lubricants formulated to retain their lubrication viscosity even at these extreme temperatures. SKF knowledge enables manufacturers and end user customers to overcome the performance issues resulting from extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold. For example, SKF products are at work in diverse environments such as baking ovens and instant freezing in food processing plants.
Developing a cleaner cleaner The electric motor and its bearings are the heart of many household appliances. SKF works closely with appliance manufacturers to improve their products performance, cut costs, reduce weight, and reduce energy consumption. A recent example of this cooperation is a new generation of vacuum cleaners with substantially more suction. SKF knowledge in the area of small bearing technology is also applied to manufacturers of power tools and office equipment.
Maintaining a 350 km/h R&D lab In addition to SKFs renowned research and development facilities in Europe and the United States, Formula One car racing provides a unique environment for SKF to push the limits of bearing technology. For over 60 years, SKF products, engineering and knowledge have helped make Scuderia Ferrari a formidable force in F1 racing. (The average racing Ferrari utilizes around 150 SKF components.) Lessons learned here are applied to the products we provide to automakers and the aftermarket worldwide.
Delivering Asset Efficiency Optimization Through SKF Reliability Systems, SKF provides a comprehensive range of asset efficiency products and services, from condition monitoring hardware and software to maintenance strategies, engineering assistance and machine reliability programmes. To optimize efficiency and boost productivity, some industrial facilities opt for an Integrated Maintenance Solution, in which SKF delivers all services under one fixed-fee, performance-based contract.
Planning for sustainable growth By their very nature, bearings make a positive contribution to the natural environment, enabling machinery to operate more efficiently, consume less power, and require less lubrication. By raising the performance bar for our own products, SKF is enabling a new generation of high-efficiency products and equipment. With an eye to the future and the world we will leave to our children, the SKF Group policy on environment, health and safety, as well as the manufacturing techniques, are planned and implemented to help protect and preserve the earths limited natural resources. We remain committed to sustainable, environmentally responsible growth.
