BS 3170 is a British Standard which specifies some of the requirements for flexible couplings for power transmission and includes definitions, performance under operating conditions, and dimensions of bores.
BS 3170 contains references to necessary components, such as bolts, screws, keys and guarding. An appendix on alignment is included.
BS 3170 on flexible couplings for power transmission is helpful for:
Having access to reliable guidelines is essential to prepare and use quality flexible couplings for power transmission. BS 3170 provides manufacturers with specification of operating conditions, details for components, along with dimensions of bores, limits and fits. BS 3170 allows manufacturers to effectively manufacture and test flexible couplings.
BS 3170 provides users with efficient and standardized flexible couplings for power transmission.
