CuwedTooth Flexible Gear Coupling Where n is the speed of rotation of the prime mover.

Reva CuwedTooth Flexible Gear Couplings are manufactured For example, the output of coupling required for the following
as per IPPS : 1-01-005-86. The design aims at achieving known parameters is to be calculated:
rationalisation of sizes and numbers on basis of their torque
transmitting capacity and generally synchronises Reva's a) Type of prime mover = electric motor
modular gear boxes ratings, which in turn are rated in b) Speed of coupling = 1450 revlmin (n)

Gearhubs and outer sleaves are manufactured from C. Steel
conforming to IS:1030 for first three sizes and IS1570 for d) Rated output of the prime mover = 7.5 kW (N)
remaining sizes. Teeth are generated by involute system

Hubs. Crowned-backlash-freehubs are selected for highest
torque transmission, greater flexibility and ease of alignment. g) Number of operations = 30 startshour
The teeth are induction hardened to 42 HRC.

I Sleeves: Internal teeth cut by gear shaping method are

induction hardened to 45 HRC. Nn=N (f,xf2xfJ=7.5(1.4x1 x1.17)=12.3kW

I Bolts: High tensile (8.8 quality) bolts are used in joining two
halves with a gasket in between them.
Lubrleation: For ambient temperatures below 65.5 degree
f, = 1.4 (see SI. No. [c] in Table 6)
f, = 1 (see Table 4)
f,= 1.17 (see C inTable 5)

be used.

I Basic Information: For selecting a coupling, the following

information shall be collected in the first instance: Hence the actual output of coupling shali be 0.85 kW

l a) Type of prime mover;

Bsre of the Coupling: The shaft diameter on which the

I b) Speed of coupling in revtmin; coupling is to be flned shall be less or equal to the specified
maximum permissible bore of the coupling. If the shaft
1. c) Type of driven machine; diameter is larger appropriate higher size of the coupling
shall be selected.
I d) Rated output in kW of the prime mover;

II e) Type of operation even or uneven operation, shock load,

etc (see Table 6);
f) Average daily operating period in hours (see Table 4);
Ceutlon: The coupling shall not be used for an application.
Where the rotational speed is higher than the specified,
maximum permissible speed. For such applications, It shall
-
be treated as a special case.

I g) Number of operations per hour (see Table 5);

I, h) Type of couplings (see Table 7);

Factory of Safety: The minimumfactor of safety - for the type
of duty (duty factor f l ) forthe daily duration of operation (factor
f2) for the frequency of operation (starts) per hour (factor f3) -
shall be selected referring to tables 6. 4 and 5 respectively.
CakWatlon of Nomlnal and SpecMc Output of Coupling:
The nom~naloutput of coupling (Nn) shall be calculated using
the following formula:

I Nn = N (f, x f, x ),f
Where N is the rated output in kW of the prime mover.
The output in kW per 100 revlmin (Na) shali be calculated
- ' using the following formula: Standard: All 'Reva' flexible geared couplings
conform to IPPS-1-01-005-86 and selection is based
on IPSS-1-01-007-86
