Explanations
1) For motors, use the maximum torque instead of the rated torque (e.g., the overturning torque for electric motors).
2) Perform the calculation only if the drive side or load side exhibits non-uniform torque curves and induces torsional vibrations. Otherwise, M = 1
3) E.g., piston pumps and compressors.
4) Depends on the design of the drive or driven machines or units and on the type of load.
