GS is a low-maintenance coupling. We recommend to perform a visual inspection on the coupling at
least once a year. Please pay special attention to the condition of the coupling spiders.
• Since the flexible machine bearings of the driving and driven side settle during the course of load, inspect the
alignment of the coupling and re-align the coupling, if necessary.
• The coupling components have to be inspected for damages.
• The screw connections have to be inspected visually.
Having started up the coupling the tightening torques of the screws have to be inspected
during the usual inspection intervals.
With the use in potentially explosive atmospheres observe chapter 10.2 "Inspection
intervals for couplings in potentially explosive atmospheres".
We recommend to store major spare parts on site to ensure the readiness for use of the machine in case if a
coupling fails.
