Symptom
Vibration
Erratic Acceleration
FLEXIDYNE Doesn't Slip
Excessive Slippage
Poor or short flow charge life
1. Red oxide color, granular consistency
2. Red oxide color, powdery consistency, possibly with
powdery flakes
3. Black, powdery
4. Red oxide, powdery and chunky
5. Clumping of flow charge
FLEXIDYNE Trouble Analysis
Cause
1. Misalignment
2. Bent shaft
3. Excess flow charge
4. Fused flow charge
5. Improper installation – Output shaft jammed
against housing
1. Breakdown of flow charge
2. Caked flow charge
1. Improper installation – Output shaft jammed
against housing
2. Flow charge in bearings – causing bearing
seizure
1. Not enough flow charge
2. Overload
3. Worn flow charge
4. Worn rotor
1. Excessive slip at start up
2. Excessive inching or jogging of machine
FLEXIDYNE Flow Charge Analysis
Condition
1. Realign drive or coupling.
2. Replace or straighten.
3. Remove small amount of flow charge.
4. Correct the overload.
5. Readjust spacing between shafts and
FLEXIDYNE.
1. Replace flow charge.
2. Moist environment – use stainless flow
charge.
1. Readjust spacing between shafts and
FLEXIDYNE.
2. Replace seals, bearings and flow charge
or replace FLEXIDYNE.
1. Add flow charge.
2. Relieve overload.
3. Replace flow charge.
4. Replace rotor.
1. Add flow charge to reduce starting time.
2. Install time delay in motor control circuit.
Cause
1. Normal after some usage.
2. Worn-out, can cause FLEXIDYNE
damage.
3. Rotor worn, excessive slip and heat.
4. Worn-out and moisture present.
5. Moisture present, use stainless flow
charge.
