Foreword
[The foreword is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as apart of AGMA 922--A96, Load Classification and Service Factors for Flexible Couplings.]
This document was developed originally as standard AGMA 514.01 by the FlexibleCoupling Product Group of AGMA to show some of the applications for flexible couplingsand to serve as a guide to the character of the loads found in these applications. It made noattempt to include all possible applications for flexible couplings, but a sufficient number andvariety were covered to serve as a guide for proper application.
The load classification and service factors shown in this document vary for some types ofequipment from identical or similar equipment as shown in other AGMA Standards. Suchvariations are not errors or discrepancies, but have been determined based on design,construction and limitations of the flexible coupling.
The first draft of AGMA514.01 was prepared by the Flexible Coupling Technical Committeein January 1968. It was approved by Flexible Coupling Product Group 7 on October 20,1968. AGMA 514.01 became an official AGMA standard on May 27, 1969. AGMA 514.02was a revision of AGMA 514.01. The major change was the addition of Service Factors totable 2. AGMA 514.02 was approved by the AGMA Membership on October 22, 1971.
The Flexible Couplings Committee voted to change the standard to an information sheet.The only changes made were editorial, necessary to reflect an information sheet.
Suggestions for the improvement of this information sheet will be welcome. They should besent to the American Gear Manufacturers Association, 1500 King Street, Suite 201,Alexandria, Virginia, 22314.

Load Classification andService Factors forFlexible Couplings
1 Scope
The purpose of this information sheet is to list andclassify the character of the load, and the suggestedservice factor for various applications, so that properflexible coupling selection can be made for a givenservice.
1.1 Applicability
This information sheet is applicable to standardcouplings as defined in AGMA 510.03.
1.2 Exceptions
It is recognized that there are couplings for which theservice factor values shown in this information sheetare not necessarily applicable. For specific applica-tion information, refer to the manufacturers catalogor recommendations. AGMA acknowledges theright of any manufacturer to use different selectionmethods, or service factors, or both for their specificproduct.
2 References
The following documents contain provisions which,through reference in this text, constitute provisions ofthe information sheet. At the time of publication, theeditions were valid. All publications are subject torevision, and the users of this information sheet areencouraged to investigate the possibility of applyingthe most recent editions of the publications listed.

3 Responsibility
3.1 Applications
The manufacturers published warranty applies tothe flexible couplings described in this publication.The following conditions are typical and are beyondthe manufacturers responsibility.
-- The flexible coupling is protected as pre-scribed by the manufacturer, in either inside oroutside storage, between the interval of its receiptby the buyer and actual installation;
-- The flexible coupling is properly installedand maintained in accordance with themanufacturers instructions;
-- The system of connected rotating parts iscompatible, free from critical speed, torsional andother type vibration within the specified operatingspeed range, no matter how induced;
-- The imposed torsional load, speed andmisalignment are within the capacity limits forwhich the units were sold, or as specified in thepurchase contract.
3.2 Systems analysis
Responsibility for system analysis in compliancewith these requirements rests with the purchaser ofthe flexible coupling.
3.3 Exceptions
Exceptions to any of the foregoing provisions are amatter of specific contractual agreements.
NOTE: Service factors and load classifications for anyequipment used tomove or convey people is beyondthe intent of this information sheet. Consult themanufacturer for recommendations.
4 Load classification
The broad categories of load classification areshown in table 1. They are classified in the threecommonly recognized load classes: Uniform (U),Moderate Shock (M), and Heavy Shock (H). Theseload classifications are based on normal operation ofthe drive system. Load classification for variousapplications are given in table 2.

5 Service factors
Normal service factor range for each loadclassification, table 1, is given as a range of values toindicate the scope of the load classificationdesignation and in recognition that different types offlexible couplings may be affected differently byloading. It is recognized that precise definition ofload classification cannot be made for manyapplications, as evidenced by the listing of theservice factor value 1.5 in both the Uniform andModerate Shock classifications, and the servicefactor value 2.5 in both the Moderate Shock andHeavy Shock classifications. Selection of a servicefactor value within -- or beyond -- the range should bebased upon the degree of reliability desired or uponhow the specific system may differ from normal oraverage conditions for the type of application.
5.1 Typical applications
The service factors listed in tables 1 and 2 areintended as a general guide for applications withsmooth prime movers such as electric or hydraulicmotors and steam turbines.
Service factors listed in table 2 are the values mostfrequently used for the various applications listed.They are based on normal operation of the drivesystem. Higher or lower values may be used
depending upon the degree of reliability desired orupon how the specific system may differ fromnormal or average conditions for the typeapplication.
5.2 Special applications
Service factors listed in tables 1 and 2 represent thenormal relationship between flexible coupling designpower rating and prime mover continuous powerrating as listed on its nameplate. Applicationsinvolving unusual or severe loading should becarefully reviewed with the coupling manufacturerbefore a service factor is applied.
5.2.1 Shock loading
Applications with high--torque motors and motors forintermittent operations, and applications whereextreme repetitive shock occurs or where high--energy loads must be absorbed, as when stalling,require special considerations and may not becovered by the load classifications or service factorsgiven in tables 1 and 2.
5.2.2 Systems with brakes
When prime movers are equipped with brakes, andthe torque rating of the brakes exceeds the rating ofthe prime mover, the rating of the brake dictates theselection of the flexible coupling.
