Introduction Legal information 1.1 Legal information Warning system These instructions contain information you must observe for your own personal safety as well as to avoid damage to property and persons. The information regarding your personal safety is highlighted with a warning triangle. Information exclusively regarding property dam- age alone is not marked with a warning triangle.
Please note the following: WARNING Flender products are only suitable for the uses set out in the catalogue and associated technical documentation. If third-party products and components are used, these must be recommended and/or authorised by Flender. Safe and flawless operation of the products requires proper transport, proper storage, setup, assembly, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
(1) Numbers in brackets are part numbers. Copyright 1.4 Copyright The copyright for these instructions is held by Flender. These instructions must not be used wholly or in parts without our authorisation or be given to third parties. If you have any technical queries, please contact our factory or one of our service outlets (refer to Service and support (Page 45)).
Only the knowledge of these instructions can avoid faults on the coupling and ensure fault- free and safe operation. Non-adherence to the instructions can cause product or property damage or personal injury. Flender does not accept any liability for damage or operating fail- ures that are due to non-adherence to these instructions.
Safety instructions 2.2 Intended use ANSI Warning Warning – hand injuries Table 2-1: General warnings Explanation regarding Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC The couplings described here are “components” in accordance with the Machinery Directive and do not require a Declaration of Incorporation. Protective clothing In addition to the generally prescribed personal protective equipment (safety shoes, overalls, helmet, etc.), also wear suitable protective gloves and safety glasses when handling the coupling.
Safety instructions 2.3 General warning notices • Use only original replacement parts from Flender. Flender only accepts liability for ori- ginal replacement parts from Flender. Other replacement parts are not tested and approved by Flender. Non-approved re- placement parts may possibly change the design characteristics of the coupling and thus impact active and/or passive safety.
These instructions describe the assembly and operation of a BIPEX-S coupling arranged ho- rizontally with a shaft-hub connection made by a cylindrical or conical bore with a parallel key or by various clamping connections. Please consult Flender if you want to use a different type of installation.

Application planning Check the delivery for damage and for completeness. Report any damage and/or missing parts to Flender immediately. The coupling is delivered in individual parts and preassembled groups. Preassembled groups may not be dismantled. Transport of the coupling 4.1 Transport of the coupling...
Application planning 4.2 Storage of the coupling • Do not store the coupling together with corrosive chemicals, acids, caustic solutions, etc. • If the coupling contains elastomer components, ensure that there are no devices in the storage room that produce ozone, such as fluorescent lights, mercury vapour lamps or high-voltage electrical equipment.
Assembly Assembly of the coupling comprises the following steps: • Preparatory work (Page 27) • Mounting the coupling (Page 27) • Aligning the coupling (Page 30) WARNING Risk of injury due to coupling rupture If you do not observe the information stipulated here regarding assembly, this can lead to bursting of the coupling during operation.
Assembly 5.2 Assembling the coupling NOTICE Property damage Damage to the shaft end, the coupling parts and/or the parallel key. • Note the handling instructions regarding assembly of the coupling parts. Assembly of the coupling comprises the following steps: • Assembling the coupling parts (Page 28) •...
Assembly 5.2 Assembling the coupling 5.2.1.2 Attaching coupling part G (2), C (3), H (4) or K (5) to the shaft with a clamping connection 5.2 Assembling the coupling Procedure 1. Undo the cylinder-head screws (12). 2. Clean the bores and shaft ends. 3.
Assembly 5.2 Assembling the coupling • Plug-in assembly of type BHH-W (Page 30) 5.2.2.1 Plug-in assembly of types BNN, BGG, BCC, BHH, BKK and BCS 5.2 Assembling the coupling Procedure 1. Push the cam ring (20) onto a coupling part. 2. Push the coupling halves together. When doing this, pay attention to the dimension S from section Speeds, geometry data and weights (Page 57).
Assembly 5.3 Aligning the coupling 5.3.2 Possible misalignment 5.3 Aligning the coupling The following types of misalignment can occur: Figure 5-1: Possible misalignment ① Axial misalignment (ΔKa) ② Angular misalignment (ΔKw) ③ Radial misalignment (ΔKr) NOTICE Property damage The specified permissible values for axial, angular and/or radial misalignment may not ap- pear simultaneously.
Assembly 5.3 Aligning the coupling 5.3.2.3 Radial misalignment 5.3 Aligning the coupling Determine the value ΔKr. The determined value ΔKr may not exceed the value ΔKr perm You can find the permissible radial misalignment ΔKr in section Shaft misalignment val- perm ues during operation (Page 62).
Commissioning In order to ensure safe commissioning, carry out various tests prior to commissioning. Testing before commissioning WARNING Danger Overload conditions can occur during the commissioning of the coupling. The coupling can burst and metal parts can be flung out. There is a risk of fatal injury from flying fragments. •...
Operation Normal operation of the coupling 7.1 Normal operation of the coupling The coupling runs quietly and shock-free during normal operation. Faults - causes and rectification 7.2 Faults - causes and rectification A form of behaviour which is different to normal operation is classed as a fault and has to be rectified immediately.
Operation 7.2 Faults - causes and rectification WARNING Physical injury Injury from rotating parts. • Only carry out work on the coupling when it is not moving. • Secure the drive unit against being operated accidentally. • Attach a notice to the switch stating clearly that work is being carried out on the coup- ling.
Operation 7.2 Faults - causes and rectification Fault Cause Rectification Presence of vibration Incorrect assembly of the coupling. Reassemble the coupling in accord- ance with these instructions. Check the possible causes given in sections Assembly-related causes Please observe all the stipulations and (Page 37) and Specific installation-re- requirements given in chapter As- lated and maintenance-related causes...
7.2 Faults - causes and rectification • Stipulated maintenance intervals not adhered to. • Spare parts that were used were not original spare parts from Flender. • Flender spare parts that were used were old or damaged. • Leak in the area of the coupling not detected so that chemically aggressive substances damage the coupling.
Page 39
Operation 7.2 Faults - causes and rectification 3. Check the locking elements that prevent axial movements and correct these as required. 4. Realign the coupling. M3410-01en Edition 09/2022...
Servicing Maintenance intervals 8.1 Maintenance intervals WARNING Danger of injury due to bursting of the coupling The coupling can burst if the maintenance intervals are not adhered to. There is a risk of fatal injury from flying fragments. • Please observe all the stipulations concerning maintenance of the coupling in this sec- tion.
Servicing 8.2 Maximum permissible torsional backlash Maximum permissible torsional backlash 8.2 Maximum permissible torsional backlash In order to calculate the torsional backlash, rotate one coupling part without applying torque up to the stop. Mark both of the coupling halves in the way shown in the diagram below. Turn the coupling part in the opposite direction up to the stop.
Servicing 8.4 Removing coupling part N (1) Removing coupling part N (1) 8.4 Removing coupling part N (1) WARNING Danger from burners and hot coupling parts Risk of injury due to burners and hot surfaces. • Wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles). Procedure 1.
Servicing 8.6 Removing coupling part S (6) Removing coupling part S (6) 8.6 Removing coupling part S (6) Procedure 1. Move the coupled machines apart. 2. Secure the coupling parts to prevent them from falling. 3. Undo the cylinder-head screw (13). 4. Pull off the coupling part S (6) together with the clamping taper (61). Use suitable lifting gear when doing this.
