2.1 Coupling Selection
!
C A U T I O N !
For a continuous and troublefree operation of the coupling it must be designed according to
the selection instructions (according to DIN 740 part 2) for the particular application
(see BoWex-ELASTIC
®
catalogue).
If the operating conditions (performance, speed, changes on engine and machine) change,
the coupling selection must be checked again.
Please make sure that the technical data regarding torque only refer to the elastomer part.
The transmissible torque of the shaft/hub connection must be checked by the orderer, and he
is responsible for the same.
For drives with dangerous torsional vibration (drives with periodical load on torsional vibration) it is necessary to
make a torsional vibration calculation to ensure a perfect selection. Typical drives with dangerous torsional
vibration are e. g. drives with diesel engines, piston pumps, piston compressors etc. On request KTR will perform
the coupling selection and the torsional vibration calculation.
2.2 General Hints
Please read through these mounting instructions carefully before you set the coupling into operation.
Please pay special attention to the safety instructions!
The
BoWex-ELASTIC
®
coupling is suitable and approved for the use in hazardous areas. When

2.4 General Hints of Danger
STOP
D A N G E R !
With assembly, operation and maintenance of the coupling it has to be made sure that the
entire drive train is protected against unintentional engagement. You can be seriously hurt
by rotating parts. Please make absolutely sure to read through and observe the following
safety instructions.
All operations on and with the coupling have to be performed taking into account "safety first".
Please make sure to disengage the power pack before you perform your work.
Protect the power pack against unintentional engagement, e. g. by providing hints at the place of engagement
or removing the fuse for current supply.
Do not touch the operation area of the coupling as long as it is in operation.
Please protect the coupling against unintentional touch. Please provide for the necessary protection devices
and caps.
