Operating instructions  10/2017

When machining the finished bore the parts must be carefully aligned. For the permissible radial and axial
runout errors and the permissible cylindricity tolerances, see DIN ISO 286. The parts must be fitted on the
marked faces (

).

In case of part 2/3, part 4 and part 9 great caution is necessary owing to the rotating
cams.

The maximum permissible bore diameters (see table 1) are designed for drive­type
fastenings without taper action to DIN 6885/1 and must not under any circumstances
be exceeded. The finish­machined bores must be 100 % checked with suitable
measuring equipment.

If other shaft­hub connections (e.g. taper or stepped bore) are to be used instead of the flanged sleeve
connections provided for, Flender must be consulted.
Drive­type fastenings with taper action are not permissible.
