Page Operation Manual Created Version STE Safety Coupling series 2 to 800 2020-06-18 2021-03-05 Coupling protection The installer shall provide suitable coupling protection in order to prevent contact between personal body parts or the retraction of parts with the rotating STE safety coupling. The cover housing must be sufficiently robust as it is intended to protect the coupling from falling objects.

R+W STE safety couplings have an H7 fit. The fit play of the shaft / hub connection must be in the tolerance of 0.01 to 0.05mm. STE Safety couplings compensate lateral, axial and angular shaft offsets.

Page Operation Manual Created Version STE Safety Coupling series 2 to 800 2020-06-18 2021-03-05 The elastomer inserts are damaged by improper heat input and cannot safely separate the hubs. The result is a smashing of the hubs with ignition-effective sparks and explosion. The temperature of the hubs when installing the elastomer insert shall not be higher than 80°C.

Page Operation Manual Created Version STE Safety Coupling series 2 to 800 2020-06-18 2021-03-05 Exceeding the maximum offset compensation of the STE safety coupling leads to overloading of the coupling with ignition of an explosive atmosphere. In the total of the individual offsets, 100% must not be exceeded.
When snapping in and out, the switching modules wear out. Therefore, after 20 rests, the switching modules must be exchanged. Have the switching modules replaced by R+W. Worn switching modules lead to sparks and explosions. Limit the resting to 20 and change switching modules.
