Explanations
5.1. The torque determination on the coupling is applicable if the shaft coupling in the system is the torsionally softest element,
and therefore the system can be considered as a double-mass oscillator. If this is not the case, the calculation of the torque on
the coupling requires a more detailed calculation procedure.
5.2. The impact factors S
A
/ S
L
describe the impact progression. A rectangular progression of the peak torque is the heaviest impact
(S
A
/S
L
= 2.0). A flat sinus progression of the peak torque is a light impact (S
A
/S
L
= 1.2).
5.3. T
S
, the peak torque in the coupling, is the maximum torque on the coupling during the impact
minus the system torque having an effect on the coupling during normal operation.
T
S
= T
max, impact
- T
N
5.4. If a drive is operated supercritically, meaning that the operating speed n lies above the resonance speed n
R
, then resonance
passing through causes particular loads.
If the resonance passes through quickly below the operating speed, only a few resonance peaks occur. The alternating torque
in resonance can therefore be compared to the maximum torque on the coupling (see also 5.6).
5.5. S
f
takes the frequency dependency of lifetime into account. The frequency dependency is first taken into account above 5 Hz.
5.6. On appreciable vibration excitation, the resonance must be moved out of the operating range by selecting a suitable torsional
spring rigidity of the coupling.
