  • Page 13: General Notes

    Flender accepts no responsibility for damage or disruption caused by disregard of these instructions. The "FLENDER coupling" described in these instructions has been developed for stationary use in general engineering applications. The coupling is designed only for the application described in section 1, "Technical data". Other operating conditions must be contractually agreed.
  • Page 14: Safety Instructions

    If the coupling is intended for installation in plant or equipment, the manufacturer of such plant or equipment must ensure that the contents of the present operating instructions are incorporated in his own instructions. • All spare parts must be obtained from Flender. ZAPEX 3502 en Operating instructions 10/2017...
  • Page 15: Transport And Storage

    The coupling is delivered in a preserved condition and can be stored in a covered, dry place for up to 6 months. If the unit is to be stored for a longer period, it should be treated with a long­term preservative agent (Flender must be consulted). 4.3.2 Storage of the DUO sealing rings 4.3.2.1 General...
  • Page 16: Technical Description

    Technical description Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! If a dimensioned drawing has been made out for the coupling, the data in this drawing must be given priority. General description ZAPEX type ZWBT, ZWBG, ZWB, ZWH and ZWHD couplings are provided for connecting two shafts. The shaft ends to be connected must be supported immediately upstream of and downstream of the coupling.
  • Page 17: Types Zwh And Zwhd

    5.1.2 Types ZWH and ZWHD ZWHD Torque is transmitted from the shaft over parallel key, shrink fit or a comparable connection to the coupling part (1), then over the tooth system to the coupling sleeve (5) and from here over the tooth system to the coupling part (2) and then again via the parallel key, shrink fit or a comparable connection to the shaft.
  • Page 18: Fitting

    Flender should be consulted. If other shaft-hub connections (e.g. spline bore hub profile, tapered or stepped bores, parallel-key connections with tightening) are to be used instead of the provided parallel-key connection, Flender should be consulted. Failure to observe these instructions may result in breakage of the coupling.
  • Page 19: 6.1.1.1 Parallel Keyway

    Axial securing in case of parallel-key connection A set screw or end plate must be provided to secure the coupling parts axially. If end plates are used, Flender must be consulted with regard to machining the recesses in the coupling parts. ZAPEX 3502 en...
  • Page 20: Set Screws In Case Of Parallel-Key Connection

    6.1.3 Set screws in case of parallel-key connection Hexagon socket set screws with cup points to DIN 916 must be used for set screws. The following guidelines must be observed! The length of the set screw must be selected so that it fills the threaded hole, but does not project from the hub (L min.

  • Page 23 Mark sealing compound here Rear Grease filling Grease filling Position the cover (10 and/or 21) with the fitted DUO sealing ring (12) on the shaft so that the DUO sealing ring (12) cannot be damaged by the coupling parts (1/2) to be fitted. Check space requirement for inserting the cheese-head screws (11), and, if necessary, insert the screws (11) in the cover (10 and/or 21).

    Fitting coupling parts (1/2) in case of a cylindrical and tapered interference fit set up for removal by oil­hydraulic shrinking off The information specified on the dimensioned drawing must be observed. Before fitting, the screw plugs (22) must be unscrewed from the coupling parts (1/2) and all parts and the shaft ends carefully cleaned and dried.
  • Page 25: Fitting The Coupling

    The coupling parts (1/2) should be pushed smartly onto the shaft up to the position specified in the order­specific dimensioned drawing. The coupling parts (1/2) must be held in position on the shaft with the aid of a suitable retaining device, until they cool down and seat firmly.
  • Page 26: Alignment

    Alignment The types ZWB, ZWH and ZWHD compensate for positional errors up to 1° of the shaft ends to be connected. Due to axial­backlash limitation types ZWBT and ZWBG compensate only for a positional error of up to 0.3°. When aligning, the radial and angular misalignment of the shaft ends must be kept as small as possible, because, other conditions being equal, this increases the service life of the coupling.
  • Page 27: Possible Misalignments

    ZWH, ZWHD Dial gauge Ruler Ruler Caliper gauge With small distances "S", a ruler and caliper gauge can be used instead of a micrometer and tape measure. The max. permissible misalignments depend upon the duty factor, axial­backlash limitation and coupling speed. If the speed changes, a check must imperatively be carried out.

    For normal operating conditions we recommend oil. This has the advantage of easy oil changing and good surface wetting. The lubricants are suitable for operating temperatures of between ­ 10 °C and + 80 °C. If temperatures deviate from these, consult Flender. Observe manufacturer's instructions for handling oils and greases! ZAPEX 3502 en...

    Flender will not be bound by the terms of the guarantee or otherwise be responsible in cases of improper use of the coupling, modifications carried out without the agreement of Flender, or use of spare parts not supplied by Flender.
  • Page 35: Maintenance And Repair

    Maintenance and repair Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! If a dimensioned drawing has been made out for the coupling, the data in this drawing must be given priority. 10.1 General The coupling must be checked for leaks and heating, and any change in the noise level, at general maintenance intervals or at least every three months.

    10.4 Demounting the coupling parts (1/2) in case of shaft-hub connection with parallel key Unscrew the screw plugs (6) and drain off the oil or grease into a suitable vessel, as shown in the diagram above (to simplify matters, in case of grease, add light­bodied oil to the used grease and mix). All the oil or grease must be completely collected and disposed of in accordance with the regulations applying.
