* The service factors listed are intended only as a general guide and for smooth power sources such as electric motors and steam turbines. For reciprocating prime movers, such as diesel or gas engines, add the following to the service factor:
For 8 or more cylinders, add 0.5
For 6 cylinders, add 1.0
For 4 cylinders, add 1.5
For less than 4 cylinders, consult Rexnord
If both driver and driven equipment are reciprocating, consult Rexnord.
Add .50 to service factor if drive is a hydraulic motor.
** Consult Rexnord Engineering

IMPORTANT NOTE --The coupling selection criteria provided is intended for the determination of the coupling size and style only. It is also recommended that the system be analyzed for torsional and lateral stability using the specific coupling mass-elastic data available from Rexnord. This analysis is the responsibility of the user since the coupling is only a single component in the system.

CAUTION --In drive systems sensitive to axial movement (i.e., sleeve bearing equipment), it may be necessary to limit axial force and/or displacement. Consult Rexnord for proper installation procedure.
