Page 15: Description
Description Description The couplings in the MULTI MONT SELLA series, type MMS-T...W are pluggable claw couplings. These act in transferring torques and rotation speeds between a drive unit and the driven machine. They reduce torsional vibrations and shock loads and are able to compensate for misalignments. -
Page 16: Overview Of Type Mms-T
Description Overview of type MMS-T…W (with taper bush) The type MMS-T...W is a shaft coupling with two coupling hubs (3, 6). The coupling hubs are each attached with a taper bush (5, 7) on the shaft of the relevant machine. The torque is transmitted via flexible elements (4) which are guided and held in place by a retaining cap (2). -
Page 17: Components
Description Components Coupling hubs The coupling has two coupling hubs. The coupling hubs usually consist of cast iron. They are placed on the shaft of the driven/driving machine and fixed in position by a taper bush. The coupling hub is equipped with claws. These claws are the counterpart to the flexible elements. -
Page 18: Flexible Elements (Toothed Ring, Saddle Elements)
Description Flexible elements (toothed ring, saddle elements) The used flexible elements differ depending on the size. A split toothed ring (A) is used for sizes up to and including size 63. The individual rubber buffers are connected to each other via an external belt. The parting line (B) enables the toothed ring to be replaced without moving the coupling halves. -
Page 19: Retaining Cap
Description Retaining cap The retaining cap is slipped over the coupling hub and bolted to it. The flexible elements are covered this way and protected against dirt and falling out. The flexible elements can be replaced after loosening the retaining cap bolts and sliding back the retaining cap. -
