Before start-up of the coupling, inspect the tightening of the setscrews in the hubs, the alignment and the distance
dimension E and adjust, if necessary, and also inspect all screw connections for the tightening torques specified,
dependent on the type of coupling.
Finally the coupling protection against accidental contact must be fitted. It is required in accordance with
DIN EN ISO 12100 (Safety of Machinery) and directive 2014/14/EU and must protect against
access with the little finger
falling down of solid foreign objects.
The cover may provide for openings intended for necessary heat dissipation. These openings have to comply with
DIN EN ISO 13857.
The cover must be electrically conductive and included in the equipotential bonding. Bellhousings (magnesium
share below 7.5 %) made of aluminium and damping rings (NBR) can be used as connecting element between
pump and electric motor. The cover may only be taken off with standstill of the unit.
During operation of the coupling, please pay attention to
different operating noise
vibrations occurring.
!
If you note any irregularities with the coupling during operation, the drive unit must be
switched off immediately. The cause of the breakdown must be specified by means of the
table „Breakdowns“ and, if possible, be eliminated according to the proposals. The potential
breakdowns specified can be hints only. To find out the cause all operating factors and
machine components must be considered.
The below-mentioned failures can lead to a use of the
ROTEX
®
coupling other than intended. In addition to the
specifications given in these operating and assembly instructions make sure to avoid such failures.
The errors listed can only be clues to search for the failures. When searching for the failure the adjacent
components must generally be considered.
General failures with use other than intended:
Important data for the coupling selection were not forwarded.
The calculation of the shaft-hub-connection was disregarded.
Coupling components with damage occurred during transport are assembled.
If the heated hubs are assembled, the permissible temperature is exceeded.
The fit of the components to be assembled is not coordinated with one another.
Tightening torques have been fallen below/exceeded.
Components are mixed up by mistake/assembled incorrectly.
A wrong or no spider is inserted in the coupling.
No original
KTR
components (purchased parts) are used.
Old/already worn out spiders or spiders stored for too long are used.
Maintenance intervals are not observed.
