You must comply with the information contained in this documentation to ensure safe operation and to achieve the specified product characteristics and performance fea- tures. SEW-EURODRIVE assumes no liability for injury to persons or damage to equip- ment or property resulting from non-observance of these operating instructions. In such cases, any liability for defects is excluded.
Safety Notes Preliminary information Safety Notes The following basic safety notes must be read carefully to prevent injury to persons and damage to property. The operator must ensure that the basic safety notes are read and adhered to. Make sure that persons responsible for the system and its operation, as well as persons who work independently on the unit, have read through the operating instructions carefully and understood them.
The gear units may only be used according to the specifications in the technical docu- mentation from SEW-EURODRIVE as well as the specifications on the nameplate. They fulfill the applicable standards and regulations. When installed in machines, startup (i.e. start of designated operation) is prohibited until it is determined that the machine complies with the local laws and directives.
Switch off the gearmotor if in doubt whenever changes occur in relation to normal oper- ation (e.g. increased temperature, noise, vibration). Determine the cause and contact SEW-EURODRIVE, if required. Inspection/maintenance Observe the notes in chapter "Inspection/Maintenance".

Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment 4.14 Accessory equipment 4.14.1 AR.. and AT.. centrifugal and friction couplings AR.. friction Drives with a friction coupling consist of a standard gear unit and motor/variable speed coupling gearmotor with an adapter installed between them. This adapter accommodates the fric- tion coupling.
Page 73
Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment AT.. hydraulic Hydraulic centrifugal couplings are fluid couplings based on the Föttinger principle. They centrifugal consist of 2 hinged hemispheres with blades separated by a tight gap. coupling The applied torque is transmitted by the inertial force of the streaming fluid. This fluid circulates within a closed circuit, between the pump wheel (primary side) [12] on the driv- ing shaft (motor shaft) and the turbine wheel (secondary side) [9] on the driven shaft (gear unit input shaft).

Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment 4.14.4 Flange coupling Flange couplings [1] are rigid couplings for connecting 2 shafts [2]. They are suitable for operation in both directions of rotation, but cannot compensate any shaft misalignments. Torque between shaft and coupling is transmitted via a cylindrical interference fit. The two coupling halves are mounted together at their flanges.
