Assembly DANGER Danger due to bursting of the coupling If you do not carefully observe the assembly specifications, then this can cause the coup- ling to fracture in operation. There is a risk of fatal injury from flying fragments. Bursting of the coupling can lead to an explosion in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Assembly 2.2 Assembling the plate pack Procedure 1. A conical bolt connection comprises the following components: • Tapered bolts (1) • Tapered bushing (13) • U plate (14) • Tensioning screw (6) • Screw plug (7) • The conical bolt connections are supplied bolted to each other hand tight. •...
Assembly 2.2 Assembling the plate pack 8. Insert the tapered bolt (1) into the tapered bushing (13). 9. Mount the U plate (14), the screw plug (7) and the tensioning screw (6) as shown in the following figure. Figure 2-3: Mount tapered bolt Tapered bolt Screw plug Flange...
Assembly 2.3 Aligning the coupling The correct functioning of the axial play limiting or vertical brace is only guaranteed in this in- stallation position. NOTICE An incorrectly installed axial play limiting or vertical brace will result in coupling damage in operation. Observe the position of face flanges (10) and (11) with respect to flanges (2) and (4).
Assembly 2.3 Aligning the coupling • Reduced wear • Reduced restoring forces • Misalignment reserves for operation of the coupling Alignment values can be found in Section Alignment values (Page 21). 2.3.2 Aligning 2.3 Aligning the coupling ARPEX couplings with 2 plate packs absorb axial, radial and angular misalignment. ARPEX couplings with a plate pack only absorb axial and angular misalignment.
Disassembling Information You will require tools to dismantle the plate pack. For illustrations and dimensions of the tools, see Section Assembly and removal tools (Page 22). The illustration of the conical bolt connection and the part numbers can be found in section Detailed view of the tapered bolt fastening (Page 9).
