How to Choose the Right Model?

Torque Requirements Operating Speed Operating Angle Length and Dimensions
Match the shaft's nominal torque (T) and maximum torque (Tmax) to your application's needs. Ensure the shaft's allowable speed (n) is suitable for your machinery. The flexibility angle (β) is critical. Choose a shaft that can operate at the maximum expected angle without excessive wear. Measure the required lengths (Lmin, Ls, Ln, Lm) to ensure proper fit and function in your system.
