- Page 4 Keep this guide in an appropriate place. Provide these instructions with the elastomer coupling during an operator change. Intended use in compliance with Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) Only EK2 elastomer couplings with elastomer insert made of black, conductive TPU material with marking D at the end of the product code are suitable for use in potentially explosive areas:...
- Page 5 Deposits: The operator must ensure that no dust accumulates in a dangerous amount between the EK2 elastomer coupling and the coupling protection. The coupling must not run in a dust filling.
- Page 6 Marking The EK2/xxx/D/xx/xx elastomer couplings for use in potentially explosive atmospheres are marked with a job-specific identification number. The last digit is the end digit of production year. Regarding Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX), it is a device that receives a CE mark and an EU declaration of conformity.
- Page 7 R+W EK2 elastomer couplings have an H7 fit. The fit play of the shaft/hub connection must be in the tolerance of 0.01 to 0.05mm. Elastomer couplings compensate lateral, axial and angular shaft offsets. In the table you will find maximum permissible guide values for the individual types of relocation.

Page 8: Assembly And Disassembly
Storage EK2 couplings are supplied pre-assembled with screws secured against self-loosening. After the goods receipt inspection, the coupling must be stored in its original packaging and only unpacked for assembly. Handed over unpacked to the assembly in potentially explosive areas. - Page 9 Precise alignment Precise alignment of the devices connected by the EK2 couplings increases the service life of the elastomer insert. The loads for the adjacent components are reduced and the smooth running of the entire drive train is positively influenced.
