Flexible Coupling Nor-Mex GTW/GBS

BAWN004-GBR-0

1 Function
The Nor-Mex Coupling Type GTW/GBS is an torsionally flexible and shock-proof claw coupling with brake disc and removable claw ring. They compensate for angular as well as radial and axial shaft misalignment within fixed tolerances. The torque is transmitted through an elastic transitional ring. The elastic transitional ring made of Perbunan (Pb) with nitrile rubber as the base material dampens shocks and torsional vibrations, is oil-proof, insensitive to temperature and normally electrically conductive. This prevents undesirable static charging, among other things. The coupling can be used for either direction of rotation and be installed in any position. One coupling half consists of a hub and a bolt on claw ring, for easy separation of the coupled machine. With the claw ring unbolted and slid back, a check of the rotational direction of the drive is possible. In the same manner, a coupling half with the associated aggregate can be removed radially. The elastic transitional ring permits replacing of machines without axial displacement (Section 7).

3 Observe before Installation

WARNING! Before performing any work on the coupling, switch off the motor! Secure the motor against switching on unintentionally! If static charging must be avoided in operation, coordination with TSCHAN is required before installation of the coupling. The maximum allowable size of the bore diameter in the coupling hub as well as the flange hub is according to the current Catalogue No. 3. Standard tolerances for the bores are according to ISO Fit H7 (DIN 7161, sheet 2). Standard key groove according to DIN 6885, sheet 1. Set screws as required.

Ensure that the intended rotational speed and the torque as well as the operating temperature do not exceed the allowable values in the current Catalogue No. 3.

4 Installing the Coupling

Remove the elastic transitional ring (Fig. 2, Pos. 1). Clean the holes in the flange and coupling hubs, the shaft ends and the disc brake shoes before installing. For larger couplings, use suitable installation aids. Place the flange hub with claw ring and the coupling hub with brake disc on the shaft ends (Fig. 2, Pos. 2). Note: For easy installation, the uniform warming of the hubs to between 80 and 120 C is completely safe.
Fig. 2

WARNING! Gloves must always be worn in order to avoid injury due to hot coupling parts! Slide the hubs onto the shaft to achieve full engagement only, e.g. the shaft end should be flush with the end of the hub and not protrude into the claw ring (Fig. 3). Observe deviating agreements! CAUTION! Allow the hot hubs to cool before inserting the elastic transitional ring.
Fig. 3

Before inserting the elastic ring apply lubricant (e.g. talcum). Insert the transitional ring. Join the shafts with the mounted coupling hubs (Fig. 4). Note: If a drive shaft with a coupling half is installed radially, unbolt and slide back the claw rings. For installation, see Section 7.

5 Coupling Alignment
WARNING! Before performing any work on the coupling, switch off the motor! Secure the motor against switching on unintentionally! Note: Exact alignment of the coupling increases the service life of the elastic transitional ring. Recommended alignment values angular Measure a complete revolution (360). Determine the largest deviation z1 as well as the smallest deviation z2 (Fig. 5). Calculate the angular misalignment z = z1 z2. When aligning, comply with the maximum allowable angular misalignment zmax according to Table 1. The values according to Table 1 apply for a reference speed of 1500 RPM. The maximum allowable misalignments given in Tables 1 to 3 are general standard values. In special cases with increased demands on quiet running or higher RPM, an alignment accuracy of 0.1 mm in the three displacement planes can be necessary. For further information, see Factory Standard TWN.

Recommended alignment values radial Measure a complete revolution (360). Determine the largest deviation y1 as well as the smallest deviation y2 (Fig. 6). Calculate the radial misalignment y = 0.5 (y1 y2). When aligning, comply with the maximum allowable radial misalignment ymax according to Table 2. The values according to Table 2 apply for a reference speed of 1500 RPM.

Recommended alignment values axial Measure the axial assembly play S (Fig. 7). When aligning, comply with the allowable tolerance x according to Table 3. CAUTION! If larger axial misalignments are expected in operation, coordination with TSCHAN is necessary.

Before a check of the rotational direction of the drive system, secure the loose claw ring against axial displacement. Before placing into operation, check the tightening torques MA1 and MA2 of the bolts according to Tables 4 and 5 (Fig. 8). WARNING! Before placing into operation, all moving parts must be covered with stationary protective devices.

During maintenance work on the drive system or after five years at the latest: Replace the elastic transitional ring.

7 Replacing the Elastic Transitional Ring

WARNING! Before performing any work on the coupling, switch off the motor! Secure the motor against switching on unintentionally! Unbolt the claw ring and slide it back (Fig. 9, Pos. 1). Cut through the transitional ring at one of the connecting webs. Remove the transitional ring (Fig. 9, Pos. 2). Start with the cut-through connecting web. Apply lubricant (e.g. talcum) to a new elastic transitional ring before inserting. Cut through the new transitional ring at one of the connecting webs and insert between coupling hub and flange hub. CAUTION! Balanced parts are marked with respect to each other. The contact surfaces of the claw ring and flange hub must be clean as well as free of oil and grease. Place the claw ring in the marked position. Tighten the bolts lightly and uniformly. Tighten the bolts with the tightening torques MA according to Tables 4 and 5 (Fig. 8). 4

Note: If a coupling half with the associated aggregate is lifter radially, the transitional ring can be axially replaced. The coupling must again be aligned (see Section 5).

WARNING! Before placing into operation, install all protective devices!
