Ever-Flex Coupling Installation

1. 

Select the correct Ever-Flex

™ 

coupling and adapter plate from 

page 8.
2. 

Attach the adapter plate to 

the Torq/Gard

®

 clutch mounting 

lugs with three (3) allen flat head 

capscrews supplied with the 

adapter.
3. 

Mount the Ever-Flex half 

coupling on the adapter plate with 

the eight (8) hex head capscrews supplied with the adapter 

plate.

(Quantity 10 hex head capscrews are supplied with adapter plate 

400CAP9 and 800CAP10.)

Mounting the Torq/Gard Clutch

The Torq/Gard clutch hub is 

machined to its maximum bore 

diameter. Shafts smaller than 

the maximum diameter are 

accommodated with standard 

Browning

®

 Torq/Gard

®

 bushing kits 

as shown on page 6. The bushing 

kits are complete with bushing, key 

and shaft setscrews.

Note:

 Six (6) setscrews are supplied 

in four (4) lengths.

WARNING!

 The correct length setscrews must be used as 

the clutch will not release if the setscrews extend beyond the 

hub and hit the adapter mounting lugs. 

The Torq/Gard clutch can be shaft mounted from the adapter or 

detector end of the hub. The required shaft set screw lengths vary 

depending on the bushing selected. They will also vary in length 

if used on the detector end in conjunction with the detector 

mechanism.

Tables B, C and D include all set screw combinations for any 

bushing or mounting option.

Example 1:

A TGC60 clutch requires a .750 inch diameter shaft mounted on 

the adapter end.

Selection:

 A Browning 60BU012 bushing kit is chosen from page 

6.

The correct setscrews from Table B (adapter end):

Qty. 2 .190-32UNF-2A x .50 Long

Qty. 1 .190-32UNF-2A x .19 Long (over key)

Example 2:

A TGC60 clutch requires a .750 inch diameter shaft mounted on 

the detector end with the detector mechanism.

The correct setscrews from Table B (detector end):

Qty. 2 .190-32UNF-2A x .75 Long

Qty. 1 .190-32UNF-2A x .38 Long (over key)

detector, the selection would be the same as Example 1.

1.  Select the Browning Torq/Gard bushing kit from page 8.

2.  Refer to tables B, C or D for the correct shaft setscrews. (3 

required)

3.  Slide the bushing with the mating key on the shaft.

Note: 

The use of Loctite

®

 C5 - anti-seize lubricant is 

recommended to ease assembly of the bushing to the shaft and 

the clutch to the bushing.
