Determining the Size
  Universal Joints with
  
Needle Bearings
DIN 808-NB
 

 

The graph shows the transmitted outputs "N" or torques "M" of universal joints as defined in DIN 808-NB (single, needle bearing), depending on the speed "n."  
This information is applicable for uniform speed, uniform load and a maximum working angle of 10°.
Where the working angles ß are larger, an assumed reference output "N" or an assumed torque "M" increased by correction factor "k" must be used (see example below).     

Conversion formulas:
Torque M [Nm] = 9550 N [kW]                                      n [rpm]  

Output N [kW]= M [Nm] x n [rpm]  
1 kW = 1.36 hp     1 hp = 0.736 kW

Example 1
Transmitted output N= 5.5 kW
Speed n= 2300 rpm
Working angle ß= 10°
Correction factor k= 1
Reference output N =
Rated Output N
Intersection "P" is derived from 5.5 kW and 2300 rpm (corresponding to a torque of 23 Nm).
The next larger joint corres-
ponding to Point P is d1 = 28          

Example 2

Transmitted torque M = 23 Nm
Speed n= 2300 rpm
Working angle ß= 18°
Correction factor k= 1.43
Reference torque
M = 1.43 x 23 Nm = 33 Nm
Intersection P1 is derived from 33 Nm and 2300 rpm (corresponding to a reference output N = 8.3 kW).
The next larger joint corres-
ponding to Point P1 is d1 = 32
