Fitting & Maintenance Instructions

Shaft Alignment

Because the fitting of coupling components might require one machine to be moved, shaft alignment must be done during assembly of the coupling, 

when indicated. 
Align the center lines of the driving and driven machine shafts as follows:

• 

Move the equipment into position

• 

Check for any soft foot and correct before commencing alignment.

Your local John Crane representative can offer alignment equipment. Generally, shaft alignment should be within one quarter of the maximum allowable 

misalignments specified in Table 2. The following procedures are an alternate method to obtain the alignment requirements.

Radial or offset

Align the shafts so that a straight edge rests squarely and parallel with the lugs on each close-coupled hub (or close-coupled hub and spacer). Check 

with feeler gauges insuring that any clearance does not exceed the offset limits specified in Table 2.

Axial and angular

Using a spacer bar and feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hubs at 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. The difference in measurements must not 

exceed values given for angular tolerance below. The average of the readings should be within the between lugs dimension 'E' as specified in Table 2.  

As a further check, at the minimum gap location, install the insert and check the clearance between the insert and the hub; it should be approximately 

the axial value given in Table 2.

Tighten foundation bolts and recheck alignment. Equipment should be doweled after alignment.
