① Axial misalignment (ΔKa)
② Angular misalignment (ΔKw)
③ Radial misalignment (ΔKr)
5.3.2.1 Axial misalignment5.3 Aligning the coupling
Set the axial misalignment ΔKa to a value within the permissible tolerance range of dimen-
sion S2.
You can find the values for dimension S2 in section Speeds, geometry data and weights
(Page55).
5.3.2.2 Angular misalignment5.3 Aligning the coupling
Determine the value ΔS2 (ΔS2 = S2
max
- S2
min
). The determined value ΔS2 may not exceed
the value ΔS2
perm
.
You can find the values for ΔS2
perm
in section Shaft misalignment values during operation
(Page59).
If required, you can calculate the angular misalignment ΔKw as follows:
ΔKw [rad] = ΔS2 / DA
ΔKw [deg] = (ΔS2 / DA) · (180 / π)
If required, you can calculate the permissible angular misalignment ΔKw
perm
as follows:
ΔKw
perm
[rad] = ΔS2
perm
/ DA
ΔKw
perm
[deg] = (ΔS2
