3.2 Nominal power

The nominal power to be transmitted (kW) is the demand from the driven machine. Calculation of the nominal power (P) allows the determination of design power (P').

Design power is the product of the nominal power and the service factor (S) .

The rotational speed of the two shafts (rev/min) or of one of them with the speed ratio must also be known.
