To choose the coupling, use the maximum torque value given by formula 1 (if the starting torque is greater than the grip torque) or by formula 2 (if the grip torque is at least double the starting torque).
To calculate the starting torque and the grip torque , use formulas 3 and 4 respectively.

Maximum transmissible torque as a function of the angle of inclination

Mtmaxmaximum transmissible torque
ßangle of inclination
The maximum torque that can be transmitted by a double cardan joint decreases as the angle of inclination increases, between the main shaft and the shaft secondary, according to the curve of fig. 1.
