6.2
General information on fitting
Observe the information in section 3, "Safety instructions"!
Fitting work must be done with great care by trained and qualified personnel.
As early as during the planning phase it must be ensured that sufficient space is available for installation
and subsequent care and maintenance work.
Adequate lifting equipment must be available before beginning the fitting work.
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Risk of explosion when operating in potentially explosive areas.
The conductivity and coating thickness of the paint applied may give rise to electrostatic charges and
are potential ignition sources.
If coated couplings are used in potentially explosive areas, the requirements made of the conductivity
of the coating and the limitation on the thickness of the coat applied must be observed in accordance with
standard "DIN EN 134631". Where coatings have a thickness < 200 μm, no electrostatic charge is to
be expected. Where coatings are thicker than 200 μm, an electrostatic charge, e.g. by cleaning the
coupling, must be avoided.
NOTICE
Damage to the coupling
Risk of damage to the shaft ends and/or parallel keys.
Unscrew the set screws from the coupling parts before fitting.
NOTICE
Damage to the coupling
Damage to the coupling and/or disruptions to operation through insufficient cleaning.
The surfaces to be joined must be absolutely clean and greasefree.
CAUTION
Risk of corrosion burns through chemical substances
Avoid burns when working with corrosive cleaning agents.
Observe manufacturer’s instructions for handling cleaning agents and solvents.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses).
6.3
Fitting the coupling parts
Type
"FN"
couplings are delivered with hubcarrier part (120) attached.
Observe the following instructions:
•
Undo the screws (139).
•
Demount hubcarrier part (120) from the main coupling.
•
Remove the Orings (117, 138) and retain them for reuse later.
•
Carefully clean the shaft ends, braking surfaces and coupling hubs.
•
Apply a lubricant to the shaft ends.
•
Before cleaning coupling part 1 with solvent the flexible elements (12) must be removed.
CAUTION
Risk of corrosion burns through chemical substances
Avoid burns when working with corrosive cleaning agents.
Observe manufacturer’s instructions for handling cleaning agents and solvents.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses).
