The  detailed  instruction  for  the  whole  operation  are

generally  described  in  the  instruction  manual  of  the
coupling, so we suggest to refer to this document.

The main steps of the operation are here described for

information.

The  dismantling  operation  of  a  coupling  provided  for

cylindrical  shaft  end  consists  mainly  of  the  following

steps:

-

 

Place  the  hydraulic  jack  between  the  shaft  end
and the coupling (through suitable plate and rods)

to exert an axial force between the shaft end and
the inner surface of the coupling. In other words,

the force  generated  with the  jack must  push  the

coupling out of the shaft end.

-

 

Sustain  with  a  suitable  crane  the  weight  of  the
coupling  to  avoid  that  the  coupling  will  load  the

shaft end and the fall of the coupling itself.

-

 

Connect the high-pressure device at the threaded

hole provided for this purpose on the coupling.

-

 

Inject  the  oil  under  pressure  into  the

circumferential  grooves  of  the  coupling  and  rise
the  pressure  of  the  oil,  following  the  operational

instructions,  to  the  value  indicated  on  the
instruction manual. If the whole system is without

oil leakages,  the  coupling diameter will gradually

expand,  and  the  oil  will  come  out  laterally  after

some time (about 15 minutes).

-

 

Apply  with  the  hydraulic  jack  the  axial  force

between the coupling and the shaft end. The force
required for the extraction is normally in the order

of 50 tons.

-

 

Take  off  the  coupling  in  one  continuous  step,

possibly  without  interruption,  maintaining  a
constant pressure on the oil.

In case  of coupling  with  two  or more  inner  diameter,
refer  carefully  to  the  detailed  instructions  of  the

manufacturer.
