2 Function
The TSCHAN
®
TORMAX VSG Coupling is a highly flexible shaft coupling for use in drive
trains between the combustion engine and the cardan shaft
.
When correctly dimensioned, it
reduces dynamic stresses on the drive train caused by torsional vibrations.
The axial prestressing of the elastic coupling element enables play-free transmission of axial
forces in tension and compression.
Forced ventilation guarantees good heat dissipation and the high degree of coupling damping
results in small resonance peaks.
2.1 Designated use
•
In order to guarantee fault-free, enduring operating of the coupling, it must be dimen-
sioned in accordance with dimensioning regulations, e.g. pursuant to DIN 740, Part 2 (or
TSCHAN
TORMAX Catalogue), with an application factor appropriate to the respective
operating conditions.
•
The coupling can be used at ambient temperatures of 60 °C, or up to a maximum of
90 °C, taking the appropriate temperature factors i nto consideration.
•
The standard model can compensate for cardan shaft angles of up to 13°.
•
The coupling may only be used and operated under the conditions specified in the service
and supply agreement.
•
Any change in operating conditions or parameters makes a renewed examination of the
coupling dimensioning necessary.
3 Storage
All goods should be inspected for completeness upon receipt. Any transport damage and / or
missing components must be notified in writing.
In delivery condition, the coupling can be stored for up to six months in a dry, roofed location
at normal room temperature. Long-term preservation is necessary for longer storage periods
(please contact TSCHAN GmbH). The flexible coupling element may not be subjected to
ozonic media, direct sunlight or strong light sources containing ultra-violet light. Relative
humidity should not exceed 65%. If correctly stored the elastic properties of the coupling
element remain practically unchanged for up to three years.
