Operating instructions 10/2017
WARNING
Serious injury
Rotating components may cause injury during work on the still rotating coupling.
All work on the coupling must be carried out only when it is at a standstill.
The drive unit must be secured against being switched on accidentally (e.g. by locking the key switch
or removing the fuses from the power supply). A notice should be attached to the ON switch stating
clearly that work on the coupling is in progress. The relevant accident prevention regulations at the place
of installation apply as well.
CAUTION
Risk of corrosion burns through chemical substances
Avoid burns when working with corrosive cleaning agents.
Observe manufacturer’s instructions for handling cleaning agents and solvents.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses).
6.2 Preparation for fitting
Observe the safety instructions in section 6.1, "General information on fitting"!
Set the flange or shaft distance of the machines to be coupled exactly to the fitting length "DBSE", as
shown on the orderspecific drawing of the coupling. On axially pretensioned couplings adjust the
flange or shaft distance exactly to the fitting length "DBSE fitting". Exactly align the machines to be
coupled. The shaft distance "DBSE" can be adjusted with shims (see item 6.6). Shims form only an
optional part of the scope of delivery.
6.3 Screw connection of flange
Observe the safety instructions in section 6.1, "General information on fitting"!
The screw connections of the flanges (see figures 6 to 16) are delivered in separate packing units for each
coupling. The packing unit may contain additional spare screw connections.
NOTICE
Damage to the coupling
Damage to the coupling and/or disruptions through the incorrect use of screw connections of the flanges.
The screw connections of the flanges have been checked by weight and must always be used or
replaced in sets.
