Lamaflex KL & KLS Series Product Range Overview

This document provides detailed technical specifications for the Lamaflex KL and KLS series couplings, focusing on dimensions, torque capacities, speed limits, and mass properties.

1. Coupling Types and Dimensions

The Lamaflex product range includes two main types: KL and KLS. Each type has specific dimensional parameters such as diameter (d), maximum diameter (dmax), lengths (a, b, l, m, n, o), and other relevant measurements. The document lists these dimensions for various coupling sizes, enabling precise selection based on application requirements.

2. Nominal Torque and Maximum Speed

Couplings are categorized by size, with nominal torque ratings ranging from 15 Nm up to 20,000 Nm. Maximum operational speeds vary between 4,300 rpm and 4,500 rpm depending on the coupling size. Notably, Lamaflex couplings can withstand up to double their nominal torque for short periods, allowing for brief overload conditions.

3. Mass Moment of Inertia and Mass

The document provides inertia values (J) and mass (m) for both KL and KLS types, measured in kg·m² and kg respectively. These values are critical for dynamic calculations and system balancing. For example, smaller couplings have inertia as low as 0.0001 kg·m² and mass around 0.3 kg, while larger sizes reach up to 0.121 kg·m² inertia and 22.0 kg mass.

4. Additional Notes and Customization

• Dimension 'o' (DBSE) can be customized upon request to fit specific installation needs.
• All inertia and mass values correspond to complete couplings with maximum finished bores.

5. Summary Table Highlights

The included tables summarize key parameters for each coupling size, such as:

• Diameter ranges from 10.5 mm to 305 mm.
• Nominal torque from 15 Nm to 20,000 Nm.
• Maximum speeds from 4,300 rpm to 4,500 rpm.
• Mass moment of inertia and mass values for both KL and KLS types.

Critical Information and Best Practices

• Ensure selection of coupling size matches torque and speed requirements of the application.
• Consider the mass moment of inertia for dynamic system performance and vibration control.
• Utilize the brief overload capacity cautiously to avoid damage.
• Consult manufacturer for custom dimension 'o' if standard sizes do not fit installation constraints.

This structured data supports engineers in selecting the appropriate Lamaflex coupling for mechanical power transmission applications, balancing performance, size, and durability.
