Maintaining the coupling

Replacing the coupling elements
Type AC…F2 and AC…D F2
The following description applies to couplings with one coupling element.
Proceed accordingly in the case of couplings with two coupling elements.
The coupling elements of these types cannot be replaced without moving the
coupled machines.
Proceed as follows to remove the coupling element:
Push the drive unit and the driven machine apart until the flexible coupling element
is exposed.
Release the bolts between the coupling hub and coupling element.
Secure the coupling element in a suitable manner to prevent it from falling down.
Remove the bolts between the coupling hub and coupling element.
Remove the coupling element.
Make sure to always replace both coupling elements on duplex couplings.
Information on installing flawless coupling elements can be found in the section
entitled
Mounting the coupling on page 27.
Type AC…F2K and AC…D F2K
The following description applies to couplings with one coupling element.
Proceed accordingly in the case of couplings with two coupling elements.
If the conditions described in the section entitled
Basic instructions for types
AC…F2K and AC…D F2K from page 28 are met, the coupling element can be
exchanged without moving the coupled machines.
Proceed as follows to remove the coupling element:
Loosen the coupling flange bolts.
Secure the coupling flange in a suitable manner to prevent it from falling down.
Release the bolts between the coupling hub and coupling element.
Remove the bolts and washers of the coupling flange.
Pull the coupling flange off the engine flywheel.
Secure the coupling element in a suitable manner to prevent it from falling down.
Secure the spacer ring, if fitted, to prevent it from falling down.
Remove the bolts between the coupling hub and coupling element.
Remove the coupling element.
Make sure to always replace both coupling elements on duplex couplings.
Remove the spacer ring, if fitted.
Install all new coupling elements.
Install the flange.
