TYPE T COUPLING INSTALLATION &
ALIGNMENT DATA
Maximum life and minimum maintenance for the coupling and
connected machinery will result if couplings are accurately
aligned. Coupling life expectancy between initial alignment
and maximum operating limits is a function of load, speed and
lubrication.
Values may be combined for an installation or operating condition.
Example: 1180T max. operating misalignment is .030" parallel
plus .089" angular.
NOTE: For applications requiring greater misalignment, refer
application details to the Factory.
Angular misalignment is dimension X minus Y as illustrated below.
Parallel misalignment is distance P between the hub center
lines as illustrated below.
End float (with zero angular and parallel misalignment) is the axial
movement of the hubs(s) within the cover(s) measured from “O” gap.
