Selection of Couplings
Flexible Couplings should be used to accommodate any combination of misalignment conditions described below. At installation all couplings should be aligned as near to perfect as possible.
Selection
In order to select the correct type and size of coupling, the following basic information should be known: Power to be transmitted (a) Normal. (b) Maximum. (c) Whether continuous or intermittent. Characteristics of the drive (a) Type of prime mover and associated equipment. (b) Degree of impulsiveness of driven load. Speed in revolutions per minute (a) At which normal power is transmitted. (b) At which maximum power is transmitted. (c) Maximum speed. Dimensions of shafts to be connected (a) Actual diameter. (b) Length of shaft extension. (c) Full keyway particulars.
1. Angular
Angular misalignment is present when the shaft axes are inclined one to the other. Its magnitude can be measured at the coupling faces.
2. Parallel Offset
O
Axial misalignment is present when the axes of the driving and driven shafts are parallel but laterally displaced.
Selection
When the input drive is not steady (i.e. not from an electric motor), and/or the driven load is impulsive, the actual power is multiplied by a Service Factor from the Table 2 (page 14).
3. End float (axial)
Selection Procedure
1.
Nominal power in kW to be transmitted = K. Select appropriate load classification from Table 1, denoted as either S, M or H. From Table 2, establish Service Factor(s) to be applied, taking into account hours of operation/day and prime mover = fD. From Table 3 select factor for the required frequency of starts/hr = fS. Selection Power Ks = K x fD x fS Equivalent power at 100 RPM = Ks x 100 RPM Check that coupling selected will accept the required shaft diameters. Should shaft diameter exceed maximum permissible, then re-select using next larger size of coupling.
2. 3. 4.
End float is the ability to accommodate a relative axial displacement of the connected shafts; achieved by sliding members or flexing of resilient components.
4. Torsional flexibility
5. 6.
7. Torsional flexibility is a design feature necessary to permit shock and impulsive loadings to be suitably dampened. It is achieved by the provision of a flexible medium such as rubber, springs, etc., between the two halves of the coupling.

Example Of Selection
Coupling is required to transmit 7.5kW at 1440 RPM to connect an electric motor to a gear box driving a chain conveyor running for 18 hours/day and starting 15 times/hour. Shaft diameters /55mm respectively. K = 7.5kW From Table 1 Load Classification = M (medium impulsive) From Table 2 Service Factor fD = 1.5 From Table 3 fS = 1.2 Therefore selection kW is:Ks = K x fD x fS = 7.5 x 1.5 x 1.2 = 13.5 kW Equivalent power at 100RPM = Ks x 100 RPM 13.5 x 100 1440
Key Stress
1. Permissible key stress = 70N/mm2 2. Nominal torque TKM = k x 9550 / RPM Nm 3. Force at key F = TKM /r 4. Shaft Rad r. metres 5. Key area A = J x HUB length mm 6. Key stress fk = F/A N/mm2 7. If resultant stress is less than 70 N/mm2 Key stress is acceptable. If resultant fk is greater than 70, consider either two keyways or extending hub length. 8. Example: TKM = 7.5 x 9550/1440 = 49.7Nm r F A fk = 55/2 = 27.5mm 1000 = 0.0275M = 49.7/0.0275 = 1741N = 16 x 45 = 720mm2 = 1741/720 = 2.4M/mm2 (Obtain from relevant catalogue page).
= 0.9375kW @ 100RPM From page 16 selection is RSC110 (644911) (maximum bore 55 mm).
Selection is therefore good.
For operation above 80% of the declared maximum coupling speed it is recommended that the coupling is dynamically balanced. It is the responsibility of the system designer to ensure that the application of the coupling does not endanger the other constituent components in the system. Service factors given are an initial selection guide. Rotating equipment must be provided with a suitable guard before operating or injury may result.

Operating Principles
OUTER COVERS DRIVING IMPELLER (A) (OR PUMP)
DRIVEN IMPELLER (B) (OR TURBINE)
INPUT
OUTPUT
The Renold HydraStart constant fill coupling (Type HS) comprises three major components:
The input and output positions shown are standard, but the input can be from either side of the coupling. The standard drive arrangement allows the outer cover to be rotated whilst at rest to facilitate oil filling. However, if a brake drum or disc brake is fitted, the brake should be at the coupling output. See page 59.
The coupling is partially filled with hydraulic oil to a level suitable for the absorbed power of the application and the acceleration characteristics of the driven machinery. The optimum oil fill is that which just allows the driven machine to accelerate from rest, thus providing the best drive overload protection. Power is supplied to the input side of the coupling by either an electric motor or diesel engine. This causes the driving impeller (A) to be rotated at motor speed, oil is thrown outwards by centrifugal force. The flow of oil is directed across the blades of the impeller towards the opposing turbine (B). Kinetic energy is absorbed by the turbine and translated into torque, which is always equal to the input torque and produces rotation of the output member (in the same direction as the driver). The low resistance of the impeller at start up allows the motor to quickly accelerate to full speed. The driven load accelerates smoothly to within a small percentage of the motor speed. This speed difference is referred to as slip and must always be present for the successful operation of a fluid coupling. Typical values of slip will vary between 2% (large power) and 6% (small power). All hydraulic Couplings can be driven in either directions of rotation.

Delayed Fill
Hydrastart Delayed Fill Chamber (Type HSR)
HydraStart (constant fill) hydraulic couplings having a maximum oil fill will limit the starting torque to approximately 200% of nominal torque. It is possible to reduce this figure by reducing the quantity of oil in the circuit. The disadvantage of this method is that it produces increased slip and higher operating temperatures. To overcome these problems a delay fill chamber is available on sizes HS8 and above. This chamber is a modular option and allows a calibrated oil feed into the working circuit. In this way, starting torque can be reduced whilst minimising slip under normal running.
At rest
With the drive at rest, oil drains from the working circuit into the delay chamber.
Accelerating
At start up the coupling will transmit limited torque, allowing the motor to reach rated speed quickly. Oil flows from the chamber to the working circuit proportionally to the speed.
Running
When the coupling achieves its rated speed, almost all of the oil is in the working circuit and the torque is transmitted at the minimum slip value.
For details of extended delay fill options, please contact
CAUTION
The outer case of the Hydrastart coupling can become hot during operation. Do not touch the coupling or a burn may result.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to change the coupling oil during or soon after operation has ceased, as the oil may be hot and could cause burns.

Effect of starting on electric motors

If a machine is driven by a squirrel cage motor without the use of a HydraStart fluid coupling, the following conditions arise (see Fig. 3). 1. 2. 3. Motor will pull out 250/280% FLT. Motor will consume 6 times FL amps. Increase in motor temperature. Star-delta starting reduces overheating. However, the starting torque in star is only 30% that in delta and it is often necessary to use larger or more complicated wound motors, particularly with high inertia machinery. A B C I

Effect of starting of electric motors when fitted with HydraStart Couplings

When a drive includes a HydraStart coupling the motor starts on low load, with only an instantaneous current peak at switch on (Fig. 4A). At start up all the motor torque is available to accelerate the motor rotor and coupling impeller (pump). The driven impeller (turbine) increases speed smoothly from zero rpm until the 100% slip curve intersects the motor torque curve at approximately 85% motor speed (Fig. 4B). When the torque developed by the HydraStart coupling matches the resisting torque of the driven machine, acceleration of the load commences and continues up to running speed which will be between 94% and 98% of the driving speed depending on the coupling size.

HydraStart couplings fitted on diesel engines

HydraStart fluid couplings can be used with all types of industrial machinery driven by internal combustion engines. Fig. 5 shows typical engine and coupling performance curves. The horizontal curve represents the engines torque curve whilst the vertical shows the torque capacity of the coupling for different slip values and speeds. As load on the driven shaft increases it demands torque, causing the coupling to slip at higher level. If still greater loads are demanded then the coupling will eventually slip at 100%. Note this does not happen until the engine has developed peak torque. Thus by using a fluid coupling, it permits an engine to develop maximum torque without stalling under load and promotes rapid acceleration to normal load speed.

Larger coupling sizes are available up to 2000kW at 1400 R.P.M.
This chart may be used for the selection of coupling size. If your selection falls on a dividing line, always select the next largest size and use reduced oil fill. Hydrastart couplings can be used for up to five equi-spaced starts per hour. Applications requiring more than five starts an hour should always be referred to Renold. Rotating equipment must be provided with a suitable guard before operating or injury may result.
NOTE: Hydraulic couplings will not compensate for an under-sized electric motor.
It is the responsibility of the system designer to ensure that the application of the coupling does not endanger the other constituent components in the system. Service factors given are an initial selection guide.

Overload Protection
When a hydraulic coupling experiences overload there is a correspondingly high slip value accompanied by a rise in the oil temperature. To prevent damage to the drive there are three options available.
1. Fusible plug
This is fitted as standard on all HydraStart couplings sizes 4 and above. The standard plug is set to fuse at 138C. Another option available allows fusing at 183C. Because oil is discharged when the plug fuses it is advisable to correctly guard couplings using this type of device.

16 L L1
2. Thermal trigger
Fitted as an option on HydraStart couplings sizes 6 and above, this device prevents oil being discharged from the coupling at overload. As with the fusible plug, two melt temperatures are offered. When melt point is reached a pin is released which engages with a limit switch. The signal from this switch can operate an alarm or switch off the electric motor to protect the drive. After the cause of the overload has been removed the drive can be restarted after replacing the thermal trigger.

(1) For operation above 80% of the declared maximum coupling speed it is recommended that the coupling is dynamically balanced. (2) Installations should be initially aligned as accurately as possible. In order to allow for deterioration in alignment over time it is recommended that initial alignment should not exceed 25% of the above noted data. The forces on the driving and driven machinery should be calculated to ensure that these do not exceed the manufacturers allowables. (3) Weights and inertias are based on the minimum bore size.

RB Technical Data
1.1 Diesel Engine Drives
Given sufficient axial force as shown in the catalogue, the coupling will slip to its new position immediately. The RB Coupling is selected on the nominal torque TKN without service factors for Diesel Drive applications. The full torque capacity of the coupling for transient vibration whilst passing through major criticals on run up is published as the maximum torque. (TKmax = 3 x TKN ). There is an additional torque capacity built into the coupling for short circuit and shock torques, which is 3 x Tkmax. The published Vibratory torque Tkw, is a fatigue function according to DIN740 and not significant in diesel engine drives, the vibratory torque values shown in the Technical Data are at the frequency of 10Hz. The measure used for acceptability of the coupling under vibratory torque is heat dissipation of the rubber elements. The maximum allowable heat dissipation shown in the technical data is at a 30C ambient temperature.
2.2 Radial Stiffness

The radial stiffness of the coupling is torque dependent, and is as shown in the Technical Data.
2.3 Torsional Stiffness

The torsional stiffness of the coupling is dependent upon applied torque (see Technical Data) and temperature.
2.4
Prediction of the system torsional vibration characteristics.
An adequate prediction of the system torsional vibration characteristics can be made by the following method.
2.4.1
Use the torsional stiffness as published in the catalogue which is based upon data measured at a 30C ambient temperature (CT30).
1.2
Industrial Drives
For industrial Electrical Motor Applications refer to the Selection Procedures and base the selection on Tkmax with the appropriate service factors. The service factors used in the Selection Procedures are based upon 40 years experience of drives and their shock frequency/amplitude. The stated TKmax quoted should not be exceeded by design, without reference to Renold Hi-Tec Couplings. Care needs to be taken in the design of couplings with shaft brakes to ensure the coupling torques are not increased by severe deceleration.
2.4.2
Repeat the calculation made as 2.4.1 but using the maximum temperature correction factor St100 and M100 for the rubber selected for both torsional stiffness and dynamic magnifier from the table on page 73. CT100 = CT30 x St
2.4.3
Review the calculations 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 and if the speed range is clear of criticals which do not exceed the allowable heat dissipation value as published in the catalogue, the coupling is then considered suitable for the application with respect to the torsional vibration characteristics. If there is a critical in the speed range the actual temperature of the coupling will need to be calculated at this speed.
2.0
Stiffness Properties
The Renold Hi-Tec Coupling remains fully flexible under all torque conditions. The RB series is a non-bonded type operating with the Rubber-in-Compression principle.
2.1
Axial Stiffness
When subject to misalignment forces in the axial direction, the coupling will have an axial resistance which gradually reduces due to the effect of vibratory torques.

NB. SM70 is supplied as standard rubber grade with options of rubber grades SM60 or SM80 if these are considered a better solution to a dynamic application problem. It should be noted that for operation above 80% of the declared maximum coupling speed the coupling should be dynamically balanced. (1) The Renold Hi-Tec Coupling will slip axially when the maximum axial force is reached.

(1) For operation above 80% of the declared maximum coupling speed it is recommended that the coupling is dynamically balanced. (2) Installations should be initially aligned as accurately as possible. In order to allow for deterioration in alignment over time it is recommended that initial alignment should not exceed 25% of the above noted data. The forces on the driving and driven machinery should be calculated to ensure that these do not exceed the manufacturers allowables. (3) Weights and inertias are calculated with mean bore for couplings up to and including PM600 and with maximum bore for PM900 and above. (4) Oversize shafts can be accommodated in large boss driving flanges, manufactured to customers requirements. (5) PM0.4 - PM3 driving flanges are available with solid bores on request.

Selection Procedure
G From the continuous Power (P) and operating Speed (n) calculate the Application Torque T norm from the formula: TNORM TMAX TKN = TNORM = 9549 x (P/n) Nm G Select Prime Mover Service Factor (Fp) from section 3.0. G Select Driven Equipment Service Factor (Fm) from section 4. G The minimum Service Factor has been set at 1.5. G Calculate TMAX from the formula: n Fp TMAX = TNORM (Fp + Fm) G Select Coupling such that TMAX < TKMAX G Check n < Coupling Maximum Speed (from catalogue data). G Check Coupling Bore Capacity such that dmin < d < dmax. G Consult the factory for alternatives if catalogue limits are exceeded. N.B. If you are within 80% of maximum speed, dynamic balancing is required. Fm dmax dmin = = = = = TKmax P = = = = Application Torque (Nm) Peak Application Torque (Nm) Nominal Coupling Rating according to DIN 740 (kNm)
(with service factor = 3 according to Renold Hi-Tec Couplings standard)
Maximum Coupling Rating according to DIN 740 (kNm) Continuous Power to be transmitted by coupling (kW) Speed of coupling application (rpm) Prime Mover Service Factor Driven Equipment Service Factor Coupling maximum bore (mm) Coupling minimum bore (mm)
It is the responsibility of the system designer to ensure that the application of the coupling does not endanger the other constituent components in the system. Service factors given are an initial selection guide.

selection of the correct product for their specific application.

G Renold Hi-Tec Couplings is well known in the diesel engine
industry for its analysis techniques.

G In the heavy industrial sector, Renold Hi-Tec Couplings
engineers have made many torsional vibration analyses. For example, steady state transient and Torque Amplification Factors (TAF) on electric motor drivelines in cement mills, rolling mills, compressor drive trains, synchronous motor start ups and variable frequency (LCI, Kramer/Scherbius/PWM) applications.
G On page 91, two examples of torsional vibration analysis that
are produced by Renold Hi-Tec Couplings engineers are shown.
Transient Analysis
Calculated Examples
Illustrated below are two different types of transient torsional vibrations analysis that can be produced by Renold Hi-Tec Couplings engineers. This ensures optimum solutions are reached by the correct selection of torsional stiffness and damping characteristics of the coupling. Whilst the synchronous resonance and synchronous convertor (LCI) examples are shown, other applications Renold Hi-Tec Couplings has experience of include Torque Amplification, electrical speed control devices, PWM, Scherbius/Kramer, short-circuit and any reconnection of electrical circuits on the mechanical systems.
Example 2
From 1981 we have been engineering flexible couplings for Synchronous Convertor (LCI) drives to control the forced mode conditions through the first natural frequency by judicial selection of torsional stiffness and damping.

Example 1
Since June 1962 we have engineered flexible couplings for Synchronous Motor applications to reduce by damping, the damaging vibratory torques imposed into the system when accelerating through the first resonant frequency.
Table C shows a typical motor/fan system connected rigidly (or through a gear or membrane coupling) when damaging torques would have been experienced in the motor shaft.

Rubber Information
The rubber blocks and elements used in Renold Hi-Tec Couplings are key elements in the coupling design. Strict quality control is applied in the manufacture, and frequent testing is part of the production process.
Rubber-in-Compression
These designs use non-bonded components, which allows for many synthetic elastomers to be employed. These elastomers offer considerable advantages over others for specific applications, giving Renold Hi-Tec Couplings a distinctive lead in application engineering in specialised areas.
Rubber in Shear
These designs use high tear strength, low creep natural rubber developed for diesel engine drives. All rubber in shear couplings are 100% tested to ensure bond/moulding integrity.

Damping Characteristics
Coupling damping varies directly with torsional stiffness and inversely with frequency for a given rubber grade. This relationship is conventionally described by the dynamic magnifier M, varying with hardness for the various rubber types. M= K C This property may also be expressed as the Damping Energy Ratio or Relative Damping, which is the ratio of the damping energy, AD, produced mechanically by the coupling during a vibration cycle and converted into heat energy, to the flexible strain energy Af with respect to the mean position.
