TRANSMISSION. 2 Technical Description The RINGFEDER® TNS S-St / TNS S-LSt coupling is a torsionally flexible, puncture proof claw coupling. It compensates for angular, radial and axial shaft misalignments within defined limits. The coupling transmits torque through elastic buffers loaded in shear. These buffers come in Perbunan (Pb) or polyurethane (Vk), as standard in Vulkollan red (VkR), and are connected to each other to form a buffer ring.
The coupling parts can be stored in the delivered state in a dry place under roof at normal ambient temperatures for a time period of 6 months. Storage for a longer period requires the application of a long-term preservation. (Please consult RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION in this respect.) The buffer rings must not be exposed to ozonic media, direct sun light or intensive light sources with UV light.

When operating the coupling, its specific technical data have to be carefully observed (see chapter 6 ‘Technical Data’). These values must never be exceeded without the prior written approval by RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION. In order to ensure trouble-free and reliable performance of the coupling, the coupling has to be designed according to the selection specifications, e.g.

10 Maintenance The flexible couplings RINGFEDER TNS S-St / TNS S-LSt only require little maintenance ® during operation. The elastic buffer ring is subject to wear. The time at which the wear limit of the elastic buffer ring is reached depends on the service parameters and application conditions.
The cover must not touch the coupling and impair the proper operation of the coupling. We do not assume any responsibility or warranty for any damages resulting from the use of accessories or spare parts, which have not originally been manufactured by RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION. 11 Disposal Disposal of the parts must be arranged in accordance with the regulations and laws of the country where the equipment is installed.
