The operating speeds, transmitting powers, generated torques or the external loads must not exceed the design values.
The driving and the driven equipment must be correctly selected to ensure that the complete installation of the machinery will perform satisfactorily e.g. avoiding system critical speeds, system torsional vibration etc.
