Coupling selection
The ROTEX® coupling is selected in accordance with DIN 740 part 2. The coupling has to be dimensioned in a way that the permissible
coupling load is not exceeded in any operating condition. For this purpose the actual loads have to be compared to the permissible
parameters of the coupling.
