9 Operation
When using the coupling attention is to be paid to its characteristics (see „6 Technical data”).
These can in no case be exceeded without having a written agreement from RINGFEDER
POWER TRANSMISSION. In order to guarantee a faultless, lasting operation of the
coupling, it must be laid out accord-ing to the regulations e.g. DIN 740 part 2 (or according
to Product Paper & Tech Paper ”Elastomer Jaw Couplings“
)
with an operating factor
corresponding to its operating conditions. Every change of the conditions of use or the
operating parameters makes an inspection of the coupling layout urgently necessary.
§
Injury danger!
§
Switch-off the drive before all work on the coupling!
§
Secure the drive against unintentional switch-on and rotating!
§
Due to incorrectly tightened screws parts can fly away and cause
serious injuries to persons and damage to material!
§
Check before commissioning the coupling the alignment and all
screw fastenings for their specified tightening torque and/or firm
seating!
§
Before commissioning the plant install all protective devices
against unintentional touching of free moving and/or rotating parts.
§
To avoid sparks coverings in stainless steel should be used.
§
The coverings must fulfil at least the protection type IP2X.
§
The covering is to be so designed that it does not deposit dust onto
the coupling parts.
§
The covering must not touch the coupling or influence it in its
functioning.
Pay attention during the operation of the coupling to:
§
Changed running noises
§
Occurring vibrations
Attention!
·
If irregularities are found during operation of the coupling, the drive must be
immediately switched off.
·
Detect according to the following table 7, “Operating faults and their possible causes” the
faults and remove.
The listed faults are some examples which are supposed to facilitate fault location.
·
For fault finding and elimination all machine components and operating states are
to be considered!
