FLEXIBLE COUPLINGSExample 3 3. Standard T Series coupling, 150 mm DBSE. To transmit 750 kW at 3,000 rev/min, service factor of 1.0 assumed, ‘Two standard hubs, bored and keywayed. ‘Coupling rating = 250 kW/1,000 rev/min Le. a TSP 260 spacer coupling is required ‘TSPS - 0260 - 0077 - 1500 TSP Series couping, Alternative letters. Alternative letters may be used in any oF all of the groups to cover the many variations possible within the standard ranges of couplings Further information ‘tue: piasaiiie ak tale iasaianicin. ta te Mada Waa eee occa a,The Flexibox coupling designation system has been developed for computer data processing ‘The system makes it possible to define and order any standard coupling by ‘composing a unique designation which specifies every characteristic of the ‘coupiing assembly. More flexible than the method it replaces, the new scheme also includes facilities for designating variations from standard. Outline of the system The complete coupling designation comprises 16 characters broken down into four groups of four and linked by dashes. The general form is as follows: A 8 c D (0000 - 0000 - 0000 - 0000 Functions of the groups of characters Group A 8 Function Supplies generat Gives ne coupling description coupling and specifies poner construction of rating in ‘membrane pack kw5,000 Typical Groups TSPS 0260 Typical designation would therefore be TSPS ~ 0260 - 0077 ~ 1500 *DBSE - distance between shaft ends Completes tne description of the coupling assembly 0077 Either 1) Specities DBSE* for standard) couplings in 1/10 mm. 2) Provides design reference for specials 1500
