Storing the coupling
26
Storing the coupling
Store coupling parts for a maximum of three years.
Treat metal components with a suitable corrosion inhibitor.
Make sure that the following conditions for flexible coupling elements are adhered to
during storage:
Exclusively store the coupling or its components in a dry and roofed location.
Temperature range from +15 °C to +25 °C.
Maximum relative humidity 65%
Keep a distance of at least one metre from heat sources
Protection against light with high proportion of UV rays e. g. the sun, fluorescent
tubes
Protection against draughts
Protection against ozone caused, for example, by electric motors, mercury vapour
lamps
Avoid component stresses caused, for example, by flexible coupling elements
stacked on top of one another
Contact between the flexible coupling elements and the following substances is
prohibited:
−
Copper
−
Manganese
−
Rubber elements with different compositions
−
Solvents
−
Solvent vapours
−
Fuels and lubricants
−
Acids, etc.
Use intermediate layers when stacking the flexible coupling elements.
Make sure that the flexible coupling elements are not exposed to any stress. This
prevents components from being deformed.
Further information regarding rubber products can be found in DIN 7716.
