9 Operation
With the application of the coupling, attention is to be paid to its characteristics (see “6
Technical data”). These cannot in any case be exceeded without written permission from
RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION
. In order to ensure a faultless, lasting operation of
the coupling, it must be laid out according to the instructions e.g. DIN 740 part 2 (or also
Product Paper & Tech Paper
”Elastomer Jaw Couplings“
)
with an operating factor
corresponding to its operating conditions. Every change of the conditions of use or the
operating parameters makes an inspection of the coupling layout urgently necessary.
Injury hazard!
Switch-off the drive before all work on the coupling!
Secure the drive against unintentional switching on and rotating!
Through incorrectly tightened screws parts can fly away and cause
serious injuries to persons and material damage!
Check before commissioning the coupling its alignment and all
screw fixings for their specified tightening torque and/or firm seat-
ing!
Before commissioning the plant all protective devices against
unintentional touching of free moving and/or rotating parts must be
installed.
To avoid sparks coverings in stainless steel should be used!
The coverings must fulfil at least the demands of protection type
IP2X.
The covering is to be so designed
that it does not deposit dust onto
the coupling parts.
The covering must not touch the coupling or influence it in its
functioning.
Pay attention during the operation of the coupling to:
Changed running noises
Occurring vibrations
Attention!
•
If irregularities are found during the operation of the coupling, immediately discon-
nect the drive.
•
Detect according to the following table 5 “Operating faults and their possible causes” the
fault cause and remove it.
The listed faults are some examples which are supposed to facilitate fault location.
•
For fault finding and elimination all machine components and operating states are
to be considered!
