ServoClass®
Couplings


Servo Motor Sizing

If you wish, you can use the
Sizing Software
which will take your information and automatically suggest the correct ServoClass.

 

1. Calculate Servomotor torque (TS)
Although servomotors have different torque values relative to RPM, and torque values change relative to continuous or intermittent duty, it is suggested to use the peak torque rating of the servomotor multiplied by a service factor in determining the coupling selection:

TS is the torque used to select the coupling;
TM
is the peak torque of the servomotor;
KS is the servo service factor of the application.

Generally, KS is a value within the range of 1.3 to 1.5 for ServoClass® Coupling applications.
KS = 1.3 for typical reverse-load, continuous-duty applications.
KS = 1.5 for the most demanding high reverse-load, rapid-acceleration applications.

2.Selection
Using your figure for operating torque (TS), select the appropriate coupling from one of these charts depending on whether you are using the single or double disc model:
