ƒ The unit is properly aligned, when a ruler, which is
laid axially over both coupling halves, has the
same distance to the particular shaft everywhere
on the circumference. Further, both coupling
halves must have the same distance to one an-
other on every of the circumference. This must be
checked by means of a tracer, gauge or dial gage;
refer to pic. 4 and 5.
ƒ The permitted tolerances for your coupling is
shown in the operating instructions of the coupling.
For the exact characterization of your coupling re-
fer to data sheet and / or order confirmation.
pic 4 - Alignment of coupling with gauge and ruler
pic 5 - Alignment of coupling with spacer
Control alignment of coupling again in opera-
tion warm condition and on system pressure (if
available) and correct, if necessary. Pay atten-
tion to chapter 6 beforehand! It must be possi-
ble to turn the unit easily and harmoniously by
hand.
Improper alignment of the unit can lead to dam-
ages at coupling and unit!
Mount coupling guard after alignment and be-
fore start-up.
5.3.2 Coupling Guard
Acc. to accident prevention regulations the
pump must only be operated with coupling
guard.
Care has to be taken, that the used coupling
guard consits of non-sparking material.
