General information on fitting
During fitting, the "Safety Instructions" in section 3 must be observed.
Fitting work must be done with great care by trained and qualified personnel.
As early as during the planning phase it must be ensured that sufficient space is available for installation
and subsequent care and maintenance work.
Adequate lifting equipment must be available before beginning the fitting work.
If coated couplings are used in potentially explosive areas, the requirements made of
the conductivity of the coating and the limitation on the thickness of the coat applied
must be observed in accordance with EN 134631. Where coatings have a thickness
less than 200 μm, no electrostatic charge is to be expected. Where coatings are thicker
than 200 μm, an electrostatic charge of the coupling must be avoided.
6.3
Mounting the coupling parts
Before beginning installation, the shaft ends, the brake disk, the flange surfaces, and the coupling parts
must be carefully cleaned and the shaft ends rubbed with a lubricant. Before cleaning the NEUPEX
coupling parts with solvent the flexible elements must be removed.
Observe manufacturer’s instructions for handling solvent.
The coupling components and the brake disk should be fitted with the aid of suitable
equipment to avoid possible damage to the shaft bearings through axial joining
forces.
Always use suitable lifting equipment.
The FLUDEX coupling must be pulled on by means of a locking plate (140) and a spindle, as shown in the
figure. The coupling must be pulled on until it rests against the shaft shoulder.
Under no circumstances must fitting forces be applied through the coupling housing.
After being pulled on the FLUDEX coupling must be secured axially by means of a locking plate (140) and
a retaining screw (141) (see item 6.1.3).
