5.3 Aligning the coupling
5.3 Aligning the coupling 5.3 Aligning the coupling
5.3.1 Purpose of alignment 5.3 Aligning the coupling
The shafts that are joined by the coupling are never on an ideal precise axis but have a cer-
tain amount of misalignment.
Misalignment in the coupling leads to restoring forces that can stress adjacent machine parts
(e.g. the bearings) to an unacceptable extent.
The misalignment values in operation result from the following:
• Misalignment due to assembly
Incorrect position due to a lack of precision when aligning
• Misalignment due to operation
Example: Load-related deformation, thermal expansion
You can minimise misalignment by aligning after assembly. A lower misalignment in the
coupling has the following advantages:
• Reduced wear of the elastomer components
• Reduced restoring forces
• Misalignment reserves for operation of the coupling
You can find the maximum permitted shaft misalignment values during operation in section
Shaft misalignment values during operation (Page 69).

NOTICE
Property damage
The specified permissible values for axial, angular and/or radial misalignment may not ap-
pear simultaneously.
• If axial, angular and/or radial misalignment appear simultaneously, halve the values
given in the table in section Shaft misalignment values during operation (Page 69).
5.3.2.1 Axial misalignment 5.3 Aligning the coupling
For axial alignment, comply with the clearance S within the following limits:
Smin. = S – ΔKa
Smax. = S + ΔKa
The values for the dimension S are provided in Technical data of type EBWN (Page 66).
You will find the values for ΔKaperm in section Shaft misalignment values during operation
(Page 69).
5.3.2.2 Angular misalignment 5.3 Aligning the coupling
Determine the value ΔS (ΔS = Smax. - Smin. ). The determined value ΔS must not exceed the
value ΔSperm.
You will find the values for ΔSperm in section Shaft misalignment values during operation
(Page 69).
5.3.2.3 Radial misalignment 5.3 Aligning the coupling
Determine the value ΔKr. The determined value ΔKr may not exceed the value ΔKrperm.

8.4.2 Removing coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2) or 5 (5) with shaft and hub connected
by a pressurised oil interference fit 8.4 Remove coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2), 3 (3), 4 (4) or 5 (5)
WARNING
Oil pressure in excess of maximum permissible value
The coupling can burst. There is a risk of fatal injury from flying fragments.
• Do not exceed the maximum oil pressure specified in the dimension drawing.
• Keep the oil pressure constant in all oil channels during the entire procedure.
WARNING
Danger as a result of improper handling of fixtures and pumps
Failure to handle fixtures and pumps properly can result in injuries. The coupling can burst.
There is a risk of fatal injury from flying fragments.
• Please observe the manufacturer's information on handling the following tools:
ð Pulling fixtures
ð Pumps
WARNING
Risk of injury as a result of coupling components or the pulling fixture working
loose.
Coupling components or pulling fixtures can work loose and fall when dismantling work is
in progress.
• Use suitable hoisting gear to hold the coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2) or 5 (5) and the pulling
fixture in position.
• Attach an axial locking element if the pressurised oil interference fit is tapered.
NOTICE
Risk of injury and danger to the environment due to leaking oil.
• Catch any oil which escapes.
• Dispose of the oil according to the valid regulations.
Tools required
• One oil pump with pressure gauge (at least 2500 bar) per oil channel.
Or:
One motor-driven oil pump. One connection that can be closed independently is required
for each oil channel.
Refer to the dimension drawing for the number of oil channels.

• With a stepped bore:
A motor-driven oil pump at the oil channel located at the point of transition from the smal-
ler to the larger bore. A large quantity of oil per unit of time is needed here.
• Suitable connections and pipes.
50 Edition 09/2022 M3320-01en

Maintenance
• Suitable pulling fixture.

Or:
Retaining plate with retaining screws or threaded spindles with nuts. Material of the
screws and spindles must have at least strength class 10.9; material of the nuts depend-
ing on the material of the screws or spindles.
• Hydraulic cylinder with oil pump. Note displacement and pressure of the hydraulic cylin-
der. Refer to the dimension drawing for the required axial force.
Procedure
1. Use a suitable pulling fixture.
2. Secure the coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2) or 5 (5) and the pulling fixture in position to prevent
them from falling.
3. Remove the screw plugs (101) or (201) from the oil channels.
4. Deaerate an oil pump and connect it to the oil channel in the centre.
5. Pressurise the oil pump to the pressure specified in the dimension drawing until oil starts
to escape from the adjacent connections or the front faces. Keep the pressure constant.
6. Deaerate the next oil pump and connect it to the adjacent oil channel.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 on the remaining oil channels.
8. If so much oil escapes when pressure is applied that the pump cannot maintain the pres-
sure, use a higher-viscosity oil.
9. Pressurise the hydraulic cylinder if oil escapes from both front faces as a closed oil ring.
Make sure that the coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2) or 5 (5) is pulled immediately off the shaft in
a swift, smooth movement.
NOTICE
Removal in several strokes
If several strokes of the hydraulic cylinder are required to remove the part, make sure that
the shaft end is positioned between two oil channels at the end of the stroke.
10.Dismantle the oil pumps and the pulling fixture from the coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2) or
5 (5) .
11.Check the hub bore and the shaft for damage and protect them against corrosion.
12.Replace damaged parts.
8.4.3 Removing coupling parts 3 (3) or 4 (4) with shaft and hub connected with
a TAPER clamping bush by a parallel key 8.4 Remove coupling part 1 (1), 2 (2), 3 (3), 4 (4) or 5 (5)
Procedure
2. Remove the screws from the TAPER clamping bush (101) or (102).
M3320-01en Edition 09/2022 51

Maintenance
3. Insert one of the screws as a withdrawal screw into the thread of the TAPER clamping
bush (101) or (102) and tighten the screw.
Use two withdrawal screws for no. 3535 TAPER clamping bushes (101) or (102) or lar-
ger.
4. Pull off the coupling part 3 (3) or 4 (4). Use suitable lifting gear when doing this.
5. Check coupling part 3 (3) or 4 (4), the TAPER clamping bush (101) or (102) and the
shaft for any damage and protect them against corrosion.
6. Replace any damaged parts.
