Flexible coupling
Generally use a flexible coupling for the gearbox input and output.
If a rigid coupling or other input or output elements are to be used that give rise to additional
radial and / or axial forces (e.g. gear wheels, belt pulleys), this must be contractually agreed.
Refer to the relevant operating instructions for details of how to use the coupling.

Backstop K2X, K3X
Ex-version gearboxes
The drive speed in the table "Drive speed when using backstops" must be maintained
in continuous operation.
Starting and stopping operations ≤ 20 starts / stops per hour are permissible.
NOTICE

Drive speeds below 1,000 rpm or frequent starting and stopping operations (≥ 20 starts / stops
per hour) will limit service life.
Ensure that the backstop is replaced in time when frequent starting and stopping operations
are performed.
