Mounting the coupling
35
Assembly notes for a hub bore with press fit or transition
fit
If the bore in the coupling hub has a press fit or transition fit, the coupling hub must
be heated before mounting on the shaft. To prevent damage to the flexible coupling
element, the coupling hub must be removed from the flexible coupling element before
heating.
DANGER
Severe physical injuries due to rupturing of the operating
hub as a result of excessive heating.
Make sure that the coupling hub is not heated to more than
350 °C.
WARNING
Risk of burns due to contact with hot surfaces or fluids.
Make sure that you do not come into contact with hot
surfaces or fluids.
Use suitable fixtures for handling hot components.
Wear the required personal protective equipment.
CAUTION!
Damage to the rubber element due to high temperatures.
Before heating the coupling hub, remove the flexible coupling
element from the coupling hub.
Only join the coupling hub to the flexible coupling element
once the coupling hub has cooled to hand temperature on
the shaft.
Proceed as follows:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Remove the flexible coupling element from the coupling hub.
Evenly heat up the coupling hub up to approximately 150 to 200 °C, e. g. in an oil
bath or on a heating plate.
The recommended temperature can be calculated depending on the tolerance
pairing. Contact REICH-KUPPLUNGEN in this respect.
