BS 6613:1985

This standard BS 6613:1985 Methods for specifying characteristics of resilient shaft couplings is classified in these ICS categories:

• 21.120.20 Couplings

This International Standard specifies the information to be supplied by users and manufacturers of resilient shaft couplings in order to facilitate communication and understanding between users and manufacturers. It is strongly recommended that its provisions be adhered to in all cases, unless there are good reasons for departing from them.

This International Standard does not apply to

1. rigid flange or sleeve couplings;
2. torsionally stiff couplings for alignment purposes, such as toothed or diaphragm couplings, etc.;
3. all types of slip couplings;

nor does it give dimensional requirements for either shafts or couplings.

Specifies the information to be supplied by users and manufacturers of resilient shaft couplings in order to facilitate communication and understanding between user and manufacturer. Does not give dimensional requirements for either shafts or couplings.
