Proper use of Flender products Observe also the following: Flender products must be used only for the applications provided for in the catalogue and the relevant technical documentation. If products and components of other makes are used, they must be recommended or approved by Flender.
Technical data Types ZIBT, ZIBG and ZIB For dimensions, technical data and a detailed view, see the dimensioned drawing in the coupling documentation. The user of the system must make the dimensioned drawing available. The information entered on it must be given priority. For the dimensions marked *, refer to the dimensioned drawing.

Flender accepts no responsibility for damage or disruption caused by disregard of these instructions. The "FLENDER coupling" described in these instructions has been developed for stationary use in general engineering applications. The coupling is designed only for the application described in section 1, "Technical data". Other operating conditions must be contractually agreed.
If the coupling is intended for installation in plant or equipment, the manufacturer of such plant or equipment must ensure that the contents of the present operating instructions are incorporated in his own instructions. • All spare parts must be obtained from Flender.

The coupling is delivered in a preserved condition and can be stored in a covered, dry place for up to 3 months. If the unit is to be stored for a protracted period, it should be treated with a longterm preservative agent (Flender must be consulted). 4.3.2 Storage of Orings...
Technical description Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! The user of the system must make the dimensioned drawing available. The information entered on it must be given priority. General description ZAPEX type ZIBT, ZIBG and ZIB couplings are specified for connecting two shafts. The shaft ends to be connected must be supported immediately upstream of and downstream of the coupling.
Flender should be consulted. If other shafthub connections (e.g. spline bore hub profile, tapered or stepped bores, parallelkey connections with tightening) are to be used instead of the provided parallelkey connection, Flender should be consulted. Failure to observe these instructions may result in breakage of the coupling.
6.1.3 Set screws in case of parallelkey connection Hexagon socket set screws with cup points to DIN 916 must be used for set screws. The following guidelines must be observed! The length of the set screw must be selected so that it fills the threaded hole, but does not project from the hub (L min.
Material must be removed only at the points indicated (see illustration). Under no circumstances may the tooth system be damaged. If balancing is to be done after cutting the keyways, Flender must be consulted. Balancing bore Part 1/2...
Fitting the coupling parts (1/2) in case of shafthub connection with parallel key Before starting assembly all coupling parts and shaft ends must be carefully cleaned. The Orings (12) must not come into contact with solvents and cleaning agents. Note manufacturer’s instructions for handling solvent. The cleaned flangedsleeve grooves must be greased and the Orings (12) then inserted.
The Orings (12) must be inserted into the cleaned and greased flangedsleeve grooves. The flanged sleeves (5) must be located on the shaft before pulling on the coupling parts (1/2). Protect Orings (12) and seals for the input and output side against damage and heating to above + 80 °C.
Alignment Type ZIB compensates for positional errors of up to 0.5° on the shaft ends to be connected. Due to axial backlash limitation types ZIBG and ZIBT compensate only for a positional error of up to 0.2°. When aligning, the radial and angular misalignment of the shaft ends must be kept as small as possible, because, other conditions being equal, this increases the service life of the coupling.

Assignment of the tightening torques and wrench widths The use of an impact screwdriver is not permissible! Tightening torques apply to bolts with untreated surfaces which are not or only lightly oiled (coefficient of friction μ = 0.14). The use of lubricant paint or lubricant, which affects the coefficient of friction "μ", is not permitted.
