[ STEP NO. 1 Be sure that all parts are available and are clean. (1 STEP NO. 2 Place one (1) snap ring and one (1) seal ‘on each shaft. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the groove in the seals face toward the center of the coupling and that the ‘mold mark will be visible after the seals are installed in the coupling. (STEP NO. 3 Install hubs on shafts as shown in Fig. Tor Fig. OL Note: Hubs may be installed with shaft flush with the counter bore face (Sur- face "X” Fig. ID or flush with the align- ing face (Surface “Y” Fig, II) as long as the proper gap between hubs is main- tained (STEP #5). SHRINK FIT: Shrink fits are recommended for heavy duty or low speed applications. Be sure the key is a snug side fit in the shaft and coupling keyway with clearance on top. Install keys into shafts. Heat hubs uniformly, using hot oil or an oven, to approximately 350°F. Slip hubs on the shafts to the correct location as determined by your installation (see note above). PRESS FIT: Light press fits may be used for many installations. Unless otherwise specified Sier Bath Couplings are furnished with an interference fit, SLIDE FIT: Slide fits should only be used in low torque, light duty applications (set screws must be firmly tightened).

Seal will be forced out of one end during this operation. Clean out old lubricant and inspect seals and gear teeth, Re-assem- ble starting at step #7. To re-lubricate without disassembling coupling, re- move both lube plugs and position lube holes at’ 45° to horizontal. Force grease into top hole until clean grease flows out of opposite hole. Re-install plugs. Caution: Always wear safely glasses and use the proper tools when working on machinery.H———~__-tuprication HOLES Pte ners T eH —o} COUPLING « SHE De DATA a am (tae rove foree feme] rs [a [= [e Pe [| st. |e | ee a ee a ae a fave pa fe a atmo tar pacteetacfae tae =p eae pee | 3 etme fe arte fonct aerate te [ome pe | oe | a ae terertoe eta tie p ep | ope pe | Se eet aae ter tmp ete tet ep ep | ae pe se | Se at meta pee fapectepae poe pepe | Pen or Re at peewtieeame[ oe peep ep oe poe pa fe | of we | es Se eat Seem toe pe or [oe pect aet ep pee | foe [aa ee et eee eta me posp met set Tepe | oe | ie pat emeer te pool ar fee pcten [pte | ase See asst saeco fame wee mete ep fae pL |e Beast sansa fof oe ier pectwet ttt spe | Sg oo ea atic or ge CHG —aav Bt an BINENSICH BETWEEN SAND Couping Grease LOVEJOY provides high qaliy, igh speed couping grease forlow to high-speed appication.
