Mounting the coupling

Mounting the coupling hub on the shaft
To handle the coupling, follow the instructions on page 23.
Proceed as follows to jointly mount the coupling hub and the coupling element on the
shaft of the driven machine:
Make sure that the connecting surfaces are free of preservative and grease.
Make sure that the parallel key is seated in the keyway of the shaft.
Raise the coupling hub with the coupling element in a suitable manner.
Make sure that the keyway is in alignment with the parallel key on the shaft.
The hub can usually be slid on until it reaches the stop. In this case, pay
attention to your specific mounting situation.
Slide the coupling hub with the coupling element onto the shaft.
Lock the coupling hub to prevent axial movement.
If a set screw is available, secure the coupling hub with the coupling element using
the set screw.
Screw the set screw into the available threaded bore.
Make sure that the set screw fills the threaded bore but does not protrude from it.
Tighten the set screw after sliding the coupling hub onto the shaft.
Alternatively, axial locking can be achieved with an end washer. In this case make
sure that the coupling hub with the coupling element rests against the shaft
shoulder.
Other forms of axial locking are also possible. Contact REICH-KUPPLUNGEN
in this respect.
