The selected coupling should be reviewed against the applicable normal and transient load basis rather than assuming that a \u201cmaximum\u201d table value is a continuous rating.<\/p>\n<h2>Check Both Shaft Sizes<\/h2>\n<p>Compare the driver and driven shaft diameters with the candidate model bore range. A larger coupling may be necessary because of shaft size even when the torque is modest. Provide keyway details and any shoulder or hub-length limits.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nmc-content-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nmcoupling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1-nm-coupling-sizes.webp\" alt=\"NM-koppelingsdimensie referentie\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>NM-koppelingsdimensie referentie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Review The Environment<\/h2>\n<p>State temperature, oil exposure, contamination, ventilation and maintenance access.
