1. General information
1.1. Function
The main function of the torsionally stiff gear coupling consists of transferring the torque of
one shaft end onto another shaft. Additionally, the coupling is designed to compensate for
angular, radial and axial misalignments.
1.2. General safety instructions
Safety takes the highest priority during installation and operation
To ensure this, the following safety instructions must be observed:
-
During installation and maintenance work, the drive motor must be secured against un-
intended start-up and the load side locked against turning.
-
Accidental contact with the coupling during operation must be prevented with a suitable
cover or protective device.
-
Do not reach into the working area of the coupling during operation.
1.3. Other applicable standards.
The design of the coupling is carried out with the help of operating factors that come from
experience (see RINGSPANN catalogue “shaft coupling”). If the operating conditions (e.g.
output, speed) should change, the original design of the coupling must be reviewed to de-
termine if it is still the proper selection.
