Alignment
The types ZWB, ZWH and ZWHD compensate for positional errors up to 1° of the shaft ends to be
connected. Due to axialbacklash limitation types ZWBT and ZWBG compensate only for a positional error
of up to 0.3°.
When aligning, the radial and angular misalignment of the shaft ends must be kept as small as possible,
because, other conditions being equal, this increases the service life of the coupling. The angular
misalignment must, however, be no less than 0.05°.
Alignment must be carried out using suitable measuring instruments. The following diagram shows
alignment suggestions and points of alignment (
