6.10 Test run of the customer’s shaft with weight simulators
6.10.1 Definition of weight simulators for the test run
Observe the safety instructions in section 6.1, "General information on fitting"!
Depending on the customer’s specification, various aids that simulate the weight of the half couplings are
used for test runs. These aids (dummy flanges and dummies (see figure 38) are available from Flender on
request. They form only an optional part of the scope of delivery.

Dummy flange: A dummy flange is an element that is bolted onto a fitted coupling part. It simulates,
together with the coupling part, the centre of gravity and the weight of the half coupling.
Dummy: A dummy is an independent element that is mounted like a coupling hub on a shaft end of the
machines to be joined together. It simulates the centre of gravity and the weight of the half coupling.
