Assembly 5.4 Couplings 5.4.1 Assembling the coupling 5.4 Couplings Introduction The method used to assemble the coupling varies according to type. The procedure de- scribed in these operating instructions is general rather than specific to one type of coupling. Assemble the coupling as described in the operating instructions for the specific coupling. Improper use can damage the gear unit.
This displacement is not measurable when the drive is at a standstill. – If you are using couplings supplied by Flender, you will find the maximum permissible misalignment values in the operating instructions for the coupling.
Assembly 5.4 Couplings Alignment Align the individual components in two mutually perpendicular axial planes. The following can be used as alignment tools: • Ruler (radial displacement) • Feeler gauge (angular displacement) • Spirit level • Dial gauge • Laser alignment system You will achieve a greater degree of alignment accuracy by using a dial gauge or laser align- ment system.
