Technical Information KM™ Application Data Operating Conditions The KM tooling joint is an extremely rigid and stable system that is specifically Chart 1 F and L1 Dimensions (mm) vs. Tangential Loads (N) for KM32TS designed to supply consistent results. As with any mechanical coupling, KM has 120 limits that, if exceeded, could result in mechanical damage to the joint and/or its components. To help you stay within these limits, WIDIA™ has established maximum 100 safe tangential loads for each system size. These loads are described as a certain amount of force at the standard “F” and “L1” dimensions for each given system size. 80 1700 2000 F 60 24002700 (mm) 3400 40 4000 4700 5400 20 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 IMPORTANT L1 (mm) Information shown on the following charts was developed exclusively foruse with KM tooling. Do not use for any other tooling system because Example the results will not apply.
