Elimination
Fracture of spline/
fracture of sleeve
Breaking of
spline/sleeve subject
to high dynamic
energy/overload
Ignition risk due to hot
surfaces and sparking
1) Set the unit out of operation
2) Disassemble the coupling and remove the
residues of fracture
3) Find out the reason for overload
4) Inspect coupling components and replace
coupling components that have been
damaged
5) Insert sleeve, assemble coupling
components
Operating parameters
do not meet with the
performance of the
coupling
1) Set the unit out of operation
2) Disassemble the coupling and remove the
residues of fracture
3) Review the operating parameters and select
a bigger coupling (consider mounting space)
4) Assemble, align and lubricate the new
coupling size according to the
GEARex
®
operating/mounting instructions
Operating error of the
unit
1) Set the unit out of operation
2) Disassemble the coupling and remove the
residues of fracture
3) Inspect coupling components and replace
coupling components that have been
damaged
4) Insert sleeve, assemble coupling
components
5) Instruct and train the service staff
Lack of grease
1) Set the unit out of operation
2) Disassemble the coupling and remove the
residues of fracture
3) Inspect the gaskets and coupling
components and replace, if necessary
4) Assemble, align and lubricate the new
coupling components/gaskets as per
GEARex
®
operating/mounting instructions
Misalignment/permissi
ble displacement
figures are exceeded
1) Set the unit out of operation
2) Disassemble the coupling and remove the
residues of fracture
3) Eliminate the reason for the misalignment
(e. g. loose foundation bolts, breaking of the
engine mount, heat expansion of unit
components, modification of the installation
dimension E of the coupling)
4) Assemble, align and lubricate the new
coupling components as per
GEARex
