2 Hints
Please read through these mounting instructions carefully before you set the coupling into operation.
Please pay special attention to the safety instructions!
®
The BoWex coupling is approved for the use in hazardous areas.
When using the coupling in hazardous areas please observe the special hints and instructions
regarding safety in enclosure A.
The mounting instructions are part of your product. Please keep them carefully and close to the coupling.
The copyright for these mounting instructions remains with KTR Kupplungstechnik GmbH.
DANGER !
STOP With assembly, operation and maintenance of the coupling it has to be made sure that the
entire drive train is protected against unintentional engagement. You can be seriously hurt
by rotating parts. Please make absolutely sure to read through and observe the following
safety instructions.
• All operations on and with the coupling have to be performed taking into account "safety first".
• Please make sure to disengage the power pack before you perform your work.
• Protect the power pack against unintentional engagement, e. g. by providing hints at the place of engagement
or removing the fuse for current supply.
• Do not touch the operation area of the coupling as long as it is in operation.
• Please protect the coupling against unintentional touch. Please provide for the necessary protection devices
and caps.
You may only assemble, operate and maintain the coupling if you
• carefully read through the mounting instructions and understood them
• had technical training
• are authorized to do so by your company
The coupling may only be used in accordance with the technical data (see table 1 to 3 in chapter 1).
Unauthorized modifications on the coupling design are not admissible. We do not take any warranty for resulting
damages. To further develop the product we reserve the right for technical modifications.
The BoWex® described in here corresponds to the technical status at the time of printing of these mounting
instructions.
The coupling hubs are supplied in preserved condition and can be stored at a dry and roofed place for 6 - 9
months.
The features of the coupling sleeves remain unchanged for up to 5 years in case of favourable stock conditions.
CAUTION !
The storage rooms may not include any ozone-generating devices, like e. g. fluorescent
! light sources, mercury-vapour lamps or electrical high-voltage appliances.
Humid storage rooms are not suitable.
Please make sure that there is no condensation. The best relative air humidity is under
65%.
4 Assembly
Basically the coupling is supplied in individual parts. Before assembly the coupling has to be controlled for
completeness.

DANGER !
STOP The maximum permissible bore diameters d (see
table 1 to 3 in chapter 1 - Technical Data) must not be
exceeded. If these figures are disregarded, the coupling
may tear. Rotating particles may cause serious danger.

ATTENTION !
We recommend to check bores, shaft, keyway and feather key for dimensional accuracy
before assembly.
Heating the hubs slightly (approx. 80 °C) allows for an easier installation onto the shaft.
PRECAUTION !
Please pay attention to the danger of ignition in hazardous areas.
DANGER !
STOP Touching the heated hubs causes burns.
We would recommend to wear safety gloves.
CAUTION !
For the assembly please make sure that the distance dimension E (see table 2 and 3) is kept
! to ensure that the sleeve can be moved axially.
Disregarding this hint may cause damage on the coupling.
• Assemble the hubs onto the shaft of driving and driven side.
• Move the power packs in axial direction until the dimension E is achieved.
• If the power packs are already firmly assembled, axial movement of the hubs on the shafts allows for
adjusting the dimension E.
• Fasten the hubs by tightening the setscrews DIN 916 with cup point.
The displacement figures shown in tables 5 and 6 offer sufficient safety to compensate for environmental
influences like, for example, heat expansion or lowering of foundation.
CAUTION !
In order to ensure a long lifetime of the coupling and to avoid dangers regarding the use in
! hazardous areas, the shaft ends must be accurately aligned.
Please absolutely observe the displacement figures indicated (see tables 5 and 6). If the
figures are exceeded, the coupling is damaged.
In case of a use in hazardous areas for the explosion group IIC (marking II 2G c IIC T4),
only the half displacement figures (see tables 5 and 6) are permissible.
Please note:
• The displacement figures mentioned in tables 5 and 6 are maximum figures which must not arise in parallel.
If radial and angular displacement arises at the same time, the permissible radial displacements of the
coupling halves have to be reduced as follows:
∆Kr
∆Krperm = ∆Kr − • ∆Ww
2∆Kw
∆Ww = angular shaft displacement
• The displacement figures mentioned are general figures that apply up to an ambient temperature of 80 °C,
ensuring a sufficient service life of the BoWex® coupling.
Displacement figures between the speeds indicated have to be interpolated accordingly. If necessary, please
ask about the displacement for the corresponding coupling type.
• Please check with a dial gauge, ruler or feeler whether the permissible displacement figures of tables 5 and 6
can be observed.
angular displacements radial displacements axial displacements radial and angular displacements
Example 1:
∆KR = 30%
∆KW = 70%
Example 2:
∆KR = 60%
∆KW = 40%

picture 12: BoWex coupling
Here the backlash between the hub and the nylon toothing must be checked by a torsional backlash, separately
from the drive and the driven end.
The friction / wear may only be Xmax. of the original toothing strength before the nylon sleeves must be
exchanged.
When reaching the torsional backlash ∆Smax, the nylon sleeve must be exchanged immediately, irrespective of
the inspection intervals.
CAUTION !
To check the torsional backlash the turned off drive aggregate must be secured against
! unintended turning on.
Drive end
• Turn the hub in opposite direction to the direction of drive.
CAUTION !
Here the sleeve may not be axially displaced from its wear position.
!
Driven end
• Turn the hub in the direction of drive.
CAUTION !
Here the sleeve may not be axially displaced from its wear position.
!
If the torsional backlash is ≥ ∆Smax. [mm] / friction ≥ Xmax. [mm], the nylon sleeves must be exchanged.
The reaching of the exchange values depends on the operating conditions and the existing operating
parameters.
CAUTION !
In order to ensure a long lifetime of the coupling and to avoid dangers regarding the use in
! hazardous areas, the shaft ends must be accurately aligned.
Please absolutely observe the displacement figures indicated (see tables 5 and 6). If the
figures are exceeded, the coupling is damaged.

In the explosion groups IIB and IIC only the following material combinations may be used:
steel - steel
stainless steel - stainless steel
Couplings for the use in hazardous areas are marked for the respectively permissible conditions of use.
Explosion group IIC: e. g. II 2G c IIC T4
In the marking II 2G c IIC T4 the explosion group IIB is included.
5.6 Starting
Before putting the coupling into operation, check the tightness of the grub screws in the hubs, the alignment and
the distance dimension E and correct, if necessary, and also check all screw connections regarding the stipulated
tightening torques dependent on the type of coupling.
If used in hazardous areas, the grub screws must be additionally secured against self-loosening to
fix the hub, e. g. with Loctite (medium strength).
Last but not least, the coupling protection against unintended contact must be fixed.
The distance between the cover and the rotating parts must be at least 5 mm.
The cover must be electrically conductive and be included in the equipotential bonding. Bellhousings made from
aluminium and damping rings (NBR) can be used as connecting element between pump and electro motor if the
magnesium part is below 7,5 %. The cover may only be taken off after having stopped the unit.
CAUTION !
If you note any irregularities at the coupling during operation, the drive unit must be turned
! off immediately. The cause of the breakdown must be found out with the table
„Breakdowns“ and, if possible, be eliminated according to the proposals. The possible
breakdowns mentioned can be hints only. To find out the cause all operating factors and
machine components must be considered.
