10 Maintenance
The flexible coupling TSCHAN
®
-S SD-5 only requires little maintenance during operation.
The elastic buffer ring is subject to wear. The time at which the wear limit of the elastic buffer
ring is reached depends on the service parameters and application conditions.
On the occasion of routine inspections or maintenance of the equipment, check:
•
alignment of coupling,
•
state of elastomer, and
•
remove dust deposits from coupling parts and buffer ring.
10.1 Wear Inspection on the Buffer Ring
§
Danger of injuries!
§
Disconnect the drive before carrying out any work on the coupling!
§
Secure the drive against unintentional re-start and rotation!
Perform a visual inspection and a wear inspection of the buffer ring after
2000 hours, or after 3 months at latest, after the first start-up of the equip-
ment. If only minor wear or no wear is observed, further inspections of the
plant can be carried out at regular intervals of 4000 hours, however, at least
once a year, if the operating modes and conditions of the plant remain
unchanged. However, should you observe excessive wear on the occasion
of this first inspection already, check whether the cause for the problem is
listed in table 5 “Operation faults and possible causes”. In such a case, the
inspection intervals must be adapted to the prevailing service conditions.
On the occasion of routine inspections or maintenance work on the drive equipment, or after
3 years at latest:
•
Replace the elastic buffer ring.
•
If the wear limit has been reached or exceeded, replace the buffer ring immediately,
irrespective of the inspection intervals of the equipment.
•
Check the alignment of the coupling.
•
Remove dust deposits from the coupling components and buffer ring.
