  • Page 29: Alignment

    Alignment WARNING Risk of serious injury through flying fragments Risk of serious injury through flying fragments and/or risk of damage to the coupling. The fitting misalignment must not be beyond the permissible range. It is however recommended to align the coupling as precisely as possible so as to have an additional margin for misalignment in operation. Fig.

  • Page 33 WARNING Risk of scalding Risk of serious injury through escaping hot operating fluid, when it is being changed. Wear suitable protective gloves, protective glasses and protective clothing. Allow the operating fluid to cool down. The behaviour and the efficiency of the FLUDEX coupling are decisively affected by the quantity of operating fluid put in.
  • Page 34 Marking lines with assigned letters "W" to "Z" have been cast in raised relief on the coupling housing to assist filling the coupling and checking the filling level. These can be marked on the coupling, and/or further markings can be added when the coupling is first filled with the correct filling quantity. When filling and/or checking the filling level, turn the mark with the required filling quantity (in case of intermediate values the corresponding intermediate position) to the top position (12 o’clock).
  • Page 35 WARNING Risk of serious injury through rotating components Risk of serious injury through contact with rotating components. The coupling must be fitted with suitable safeguards to prevent any contact. The operation of the coupling must not be impaired by the safeguard. This also applies to test runs and when checking the direction of rotation.
  • Page 36: Operating Fluid

    7.2.1 Operating fluid The fluid coupling must only be operated with water or a water emulsion. When using a water emulsion the following must be observed: ─ Compatibility with the sealing material "NBR" (nitrile butadiene rubber). ─ pH value 5 to 8 The fluid should be mixed with only a small quantity of salts and contain only a sufficiently small concentration of other additives.
  • Page 37: Operation

    Operation Observe the information in section 3, "Safety instructions"! DANGER Risk of explosion Coupling with worn flexible elements (12) are potential explosion hazards.

Observe the instructions relating to cleaning and/or treatment of the bolts with auxiliary materials.
  • Page 46: Changing The Shaft­sealing Rings

    10.2 Changing the shaft­sealing rings The shaft­sealing rings of the inner seal must be replaced after 12 000 operating hours or after 2 years of operation. We recommend also replacing the other seals and rolling bearings at the same time. In order to keep maintenance­related disruptions in operation as few as possible, it is recommended to keep replacement parts in stock.
  • Page 47: Replacement Of The Flexible Elements

    10.4 Replacement of the flexible elements Only original N­EUPEX flexible elements must be used for replacement to guarantee troublefree torque transmission and faultfree operation. The flexible elements (12) can be replaced without moving the coupled machines. After the screw connection part 2/3 is released, part 3 is shifted axially and turned towards part 2. The flexible elements (12) are now freely accessible.
  • Page 48 Fig. 14: Removing the FLUDEX coupling ­a 1) Mark The axial space thus obtained is sufficient to detach the main coupling axially from the hub­carrier part (120) and demount it radially after the bolts (139) have been loosened. At the same time care must be taken that the O­rings (117, 138) are exposed (see figure 15).
  • Page 49 The space between the shafts now suffices for the fitted hubs, if necessary, to be pulled off by means of commercially available tools after releasing the axial fixture. Located at the end­face side in the hub in the hub­carrier part (120) are two tapped holes offset by 180°, which may be used to insert drawing bolts (see figure 16).
