In hazardous environments, DODGE elastomeric couplings
should not be considered as fail safe or “break-away” power
transmission devices. Overloads imposed to these devices
could cause irreparable damage, shall be considered an
explosive hazard, could create projectiles, and/or could cause
torque transmission interruptions. The coupling shall be
sized and used to the stated torque capabilities of the unit as
published in the DODGE PT Components Engineering Catalog.
Any assistance needed in selection shall be referred to an ABB
representative.
Additional Instruction for Safe Installation and Use
1. All rotating parts should be guarded to prevent contact with
foreign objects which could result in sparks, ignition, or
damage to the coupling.
2. Couplings should be periodically inspected for normal
wear, dust/dirt buildup or any similar scenario that would
impede heat dissipation.
3. Increasing levels of vibration and noise could indicate the
need for inspection, repair or replacement of the coupling
or element.
4. Electrical sparks are a source of ignition. To reduce the risk,
proper electrical bonding and grounding is recommended.
5. Overloading may result in breakage or damage to the
coupling or other equipment. As a result the coupling
could become an explosion hazard. Damaged coupling
components or elements must not be operated in
hazardous environment.
6. If thrust loading or axial movement is anticipated, The
DODGE PARA-FLEX coupling is the desired unit for use
as it has design capability of accepting this movement up
to 5/16”. Couplings are not intended to be used as thrust
bearing members.
7. Coupling guards should have a minimum of 2” clearance
over PARA-FLEX tire style couplings. (3” clearance
for PARA-FLEX style couplings greater than 16” outer
diameter.)
8. The date code should be read as:
