Technical Manual Technical Specifications (4.4 Application Limits — continued) The KM4X™ tooling connection is an extremely rigid and stable system that is specifically designed to supply consistent results. As with any mechanical coupling, the KM4X™ connection has limits that, if exceeded, could result in mechanical damage to the connection and/or its components. To help you stay within these limits, Kennametal has established maximum safe tangential loads for each system size. These loads are described as a certain amount of force at a given “F” and “L1” dimension for each system size. Technical Manual Maximum Tangential Load for KM4X63 To account for load fluctuations in dynamic F (mm) conditions, a force multiplier of 0,6 to 0,8 should be used. L1 = Distance in millimeters from tool tip to face of clamping unit or spindle. F = Distance in millimeters from tool tip to centerline of taper. 160 P = Maximum static tangential force in newtons. L1 (mm) 1700000 P= 3(0.81L1)2 +F2 Maximum Tangential Load for KM4X100 F (mm) To account for load fluctuations in dynamic conditions, a force multiplier of 0,6 to 0,8 should be used. L1 = Distance in millimeters from tool tip to face of clamping unit or spindle. F = Distance in millimeters from tool tip to centerline of taper. P = Maximum static tangential force in newtons.
