WARNING
Danger from burners and hot coupling parts
Risk of injury due to burners and hot surfaces. Burners or hot coupling parts can lead to an
explosion in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles).
• Ensure that the area is not at risk of explosion.
Procedure
1. Move the coupled machines apart.
2. Secure the coupling parts to prevent them from falling.
3. Remove the axial locking elements (set screw, end plate).
4. Use a suitable pulling fixture.
5. Heat up the coupling part1/2(1 or 2) using a burner above the parallel keyway along its
length to maximum 80°C.
Note when doing this the temperature range of the cam ring (50) (refer to section N-
BIPEX cam ring (50) (Page63)). Remove the cam ring(50) where appropriate.
6. Pull off the coupling part1/2(1 or 2). Use suitable lifting gear when doing this.
7. Check the hub bore and the shaft for damage and protect them against corrosion.
8. Replace any damaged parts.
When reinstalling the coupling parts please observe the information in chapters Assembly
(Page25) and Commissioning (Page35).
