8 Operation
When operating the coupling, its specific technical data have to be carefully observed (see
chapter 6 ‘Technical Data’). These values must never be exceeded without the prior written
approval by TSCHAN GmbH.
In order to ensure trouble-free and reliable performance of the coupling, the coupling has to
be designed according to the selection specifications, e.g. according to catalogue POSIMIN
®
-
PHP or by using the TSCHAN Design Programme, with a service factor appropriate to the
service conditions.
Any change in the service conditions or service parameters always necessitates the verifica-
tion of the coupling design!
§
Danger of injuries!
§
Disconnect the drive before carrying out any work on the coupling!
§
Secure the drive against unintentional re-start and rotating!
§
Improperly tightened screws may cause parts to fly off what leads
to most serious personal injuries and property damages!
§
Before putting the coupling into operation, check the alignment and
all screwed connections for correct tightening torque or firm fit!
§
Before starting up the equipment, install all protective guards in
order to avoid unintentional contact with freely moving or rotating
parts.
§
To avoid sparks, covers made of stainless steel should be used!
§
The covers have to comply with protection type IP2X as a mini-
mum.
§
The cover shall be designed to prevent dust from depositing on
the coupling parts.
§
The cover must not touch the coupling and must not impair the
proper function of the coupling.
While operating the coupling, pay attention to:
§
Changes in operating noises
§
Vibrations
§
Lost parts
Attention!
•
Disconnect the drive immediately, if any irregularities are observed while operating
the coupling!
•
Identify the cause for the problem using table 5 below “Operation Faults and Possible
Causes“ and correct the fault.
The listed problems are some examples to assist you in troubleshooting.
•
All the machinery components and operation modes have to be considered for the
determination and correction of faults!
