Couplings for shafts of intermediate diameters are, for instance, designated OKC 148. May be slightly greater or smaller when D is reached, depending on how the tolerance of coupling seatings and coupling bore have been used. See also Mounting Instructions. Increase of outer diameter, D, after mounting. The safety factor referred to on page 15 must be applied to obtain the permissible torque.

This list is designed as a guide. If the ring you require is not listed, please contact your closest distributor, and we will design a ring for you on the receipt of the following information: a. Dimensions of propeller boss. b. Maximum power, kW. c. Speed, r/min. d. Safety factor. e. Modulus of elasticity for boss and shaft respectively, N/mm2. f. Temperature coefficient of linear expansion for boss and shaft respectively. g. Yield point for shaft and boss, N/mm2. If drive-up force and drive-up length is being calculated by customer that information together with the propeller shaft thread and the small inner diameter of the propeller boss only are required. SKF pump 728619 is recommended for the ring as well as for injecting oil in the propeller hub. For sizes OKTC 505 or larger, an air driven pump, THAP 150 is recommended.

Tailor-made OK couplings
Besides standard series of OK couplings, SKF Coupling Systems design and manufacture tailor-made OK couplings for shaft diameters from 100 mm and up. Some examples:
Flange couplings and Supergrip bolts combination for limited space Double sleeve arrangement for bearing installation

When the coupling is intended for marine applications, the safety factor has to be selected according to the rules of the referred classification society.

Shafts
To facilitate shaft alignment for OKC and OKCS couplings one of the shafts should be so designed that the coupling can be slid along it far enough to expose the outermost part of the coupling seating. Surface roughness is to be within Ra 2.5 m. ISO tolerance h8 applies to coupling seatings from 25 - 90 mm. ISO tolerance h7 is used for larger diameters.

Example: An OKC coupling is to be mounted on shafts with an outside diameter of 400 mm and a bore of 120 mm. i.e. dc 120 = = 0.3 da 400
The outside diameter of the reinforcement sleeve is d obtained from b = 0.49, i.e. db = 196 mm. da The interference d is obtained from d = 0.0013, i.e. d = 0.25 mm db The increase in drive-up distance, R, is obtained R from the ratio = 0.009. Thus dimension A3 in da the table on page 7 (30 mm) must be reduced by 3.6 mm.

Oil

The oil injection method used in our OK couplings was developed by us in the early 1940s. Since then more than 36,000 couplings have been supplied to ships, power installations, etc all over the world. The OK couplings are manufactured in modern NC-controlled equipment utilizing CAD/CAM technology. Our most important resource is, however, a well-trained staff with a long experience and tradition of manufacturing precision engineering products.
SKF Coupling Systems AB was established in the early 1940s when SKFs Chief Designer, Erland Bratt, invented the SKF oil injection method. As the result of continuous development, SKF is currently a world leader in selected market niches. Our business concept is to develop, produce and supply products based on the SKF oil injection method. These products significantly reduce downtime and lower maintenance costs of the capital-intensive equipment in which they are used.
