You may only assemble, operate and maintain the coupling if you
•
have carefully read through the operating/assembly instructions and understood them
•
are technically qualified and specifically trained (e. g. safety, environment, logistics)
•
are authorized by your company
The coupling may only be used in accordance with the technical data (see chapter 1). Unauthorized modifications
on the coupling design are not admissible. We will not assume liability for any damage that may arise. In the
interest of further development we reserve the right for technical modifications.
The
BoWex-ELASTIC

type HEW, HEW Compact and HEW-ZS
described in here corresponds to the technical
status at the time of printing of these operating/assembly instructions.
!
For a long-lasting and failure-free operation of the coupling it must be selected according to
the selection instructions (according to DIN 740 part 2) for the particular application (see
catalogue drive technology "BoWex-ELASTIC
®
").
If the operating conditions (performance, speed, modifications on engine and machine)
change, the coupling selection must be reviewed.
Please make sure that the technical data regarding torque refer to the elastomer part only.
The transmittable torque of the shaft-hub-connection must be reviewed by the customer and
is subject to his responsibility.
For drives subject to torsional vibrations (drives with cyclic stress due to torsional vibrations) it is necessary to
perform a torsional vibration calculation to ensure a reliable selection. Typical drives subject to torsional vibrations
are e. g. drives with diesel engines, piston pumps, piston compressors etc. If requested, KTR will perform the
coupling selection and the torsional vibration calculation.
The couplings supplied by KTR should be considered as components, not machines or partly completed
machines according to EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Consequently KTR does not have to issue a
declaration of incorporation. For details about safe assembly, start-up and safe operation refer to the present
operating/assembly instructions considering the warnings.
