Sempomp TKF-K Series - Clutch Alignment Procedures; Clutch Alignment Objective and Failures; Alignment Measurement Techniques

-“Clutch Setup” is to provide motor and pump rotational axis over in straight line If
TKF-K/MKF/TAP type motors are ordered with motor and frame, necessary clutch
adjustments are made in our factory. However, adjustment can have failure during
carrying, storage and installation. Make a clutch adjustment discarding the
adjustment made in our factory.
- Two pieces of suitable length of smooth sided template, or steel ruler and a precise
caliper is necessary for clutch setup. (More precise tools should be used for more
precise adjustment)
- Two types of failure may occur during adjustment
a) Angular Failure
b) Parallel Shifting failure
- Distance between two parts of clutch are mutually measured in vertical and
horizontal plane
- Distance which were measured between those four points should be equal.
- A smooth edged template is pressed parallel with one part of clutch and position of
template with respect to other part is observed. Template should contact with both
parts same time and with whole edge.
