12 I RB and PM Catalogue RB Technical Data 1.1 Torque Capacity - Diesel Engine Drives 2.1 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 additional torque capacity built within the coupling for short circuit and shock torques, which is 3 x TKMAX. The published “Vibratory Torque TKW”, relates to the amplitude of the permissible torque fluctuation. The vibratory...
