10. Operational disturbances
The possible operational disturbances are listed in the following table. In order to remedy them,
first bring the unit to a standstill
and then follow the further instructions in the column “Rem-
edy”. This table only provides a starting point for the search for the cause. All neighbouring com-
ponents should also be subjected to an examination.
Disturbances
Causes
Remedy
Changes in
sounds or
vibrations
Alignment error
1) Eliminate the cause of the alignment error
2) Carry out wear inspection
3) Re-align the coupling
Lack of lubricant
1) Carry out wear inspection
2) Replace lubricant
3) Check seals and replace if necessary
Excessive gearing
wear
Vibrations in the
drivetrain
1) Disassemble coupling
2) Replace damaged parts
3) Find and eliminate cause for the vibrations
4) Align coupling
Misalignment is
outside the
permissible range
1) Disassemble coupling and examine
2) Replace worn parts
3) Check alignment and correct if necessary
Lack of lubricant
4) Carry out wear inspection
5) Replace lubricant
6) Check seals and replace if necessary
Lubricant leaking
O-rings
worn
1) Carry out wear inspection
2) Clean coupling
3) Replace O-rings
4) Fill with lubricant
O-ring porous
due to false
storage or
damaged during
assembly
1) Carry out wear inspection
2) Clean coupling
3) Optimise storage and eliminate the reason for
assembly errors
4) Replace O-rings
5) Fill with lubricant
O-rings damaged
due to contact
with aggressive
media, ozone or
hot surfaces
1) Carry out wear inspection
2) Clean coupling
3) Eliminate negative influences
4) Replace O-rings
5) Fill with lubricant
Gearing or cou-
pling half breaks
Break due to
overload
1) Disassemble coupling
2) Replace damaged parts
3) Eliminate cause for the overload
4) Align coupling
The coupling se-
lected was too
weak
1) Disassemble coupling
2) Check the design of the coupling
3) Install, align and lubricate larger coupling
