2 Advice
General advice
This symbol indicates notes which may contribute to
preventing adverse results or conditions.
With assembly, operation and maintenance of the coupling it has to be made sure that the
STOP entire drive train is secured against accidental switch-on. You may be seriously hurt by
rotating parts. Please make absolutely sure to read through and observe the following
safety indications.
• All operations on and with the coupling have to be performed taking into account "safety first".
• Please make sure to switch off the power pack before you perform your work on the coupling.
• Secure the power pack against accidental switch-on, e. g. by providing warning signs at the place of switch-on
or removing the fuse for current supply.
• Do not reach into the operating area of the coupling as long as it is in operation.
• Please secure the coupling against accidental contact. Please provide for the necessary protection devices
and covers.
You may only assemble, operate and maintain the coupling if you
• have carefully read through the operating/assembly instructions and understood them
• are technically qualified and specifically trained (e. g. safety, environment, logistics)
• are authorized by your company
The coupling may only be used in accordance with the technical data (see chapter 1). Unauthorized modifications
on the coupling design are not admissible. We will not assume liability for any damage that may arise. In the
interest of further development we reserve the right for technical modifications.
The POLY-NORM® described in here corresponds to the technical status at the time of printing of these
operating/assembly instructions.

2 Advice
For a permanent and failure-free operation of the coupling it must be selected according to
! the selection instructions (according to DIN 740 part 2) for the particular application (see
catalogue drive technology "POLY-NORM®").
If the operating conditions (performance, speed, modifications on engine and machine)
change, the coupling selection must be reviewed.
Please make sure that the technical data regarding torque refer to the elastomer part only.
The transmittable torque of the shaft-hub-connection must be reviewed by the customer and
is subject to his responsibility.
For drives subject to torsional vibrations (drives with cyclic stress due to torsional vibrations) it is necessary to
perform a torsional vibration calculation to ensure a reliable selection. Typical drives subject to torsional vibrations
are e. g. drives with diesel engines, piston pumps, piston compressors etc. If requested, KTR will perform the
coupling selection and the torsional vibration calculation.
The couplings supplied by KTR should be considered as components, not machines or partly completed
machines according to EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Consequently KTR does not have to issue a
declaration of incorporation. For details about safe assembly, start-up and safe operation refer to the present
operating/assembly instructions considering the warnings.
3.1 Storage
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 elastomer rings/DZ individual elastomers remain unchanged for up to 5 years with favourable
storage conditions.
The storage rooms must 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 condensation is not generated. The best relative air humidity is less
than 65 %.
In order to avoid any injuries and any kind of damage always make use of proper transport
! and lifting equipment.
The couplings are packed differently each depending on size, number and kind of transport. Unless otherwise
contractually agreed, packaging will follow the in-house packaging specifications of KTR.

The customer bears the sole responsibility for all machining processes performed
! subsequently on unbored or pilot bored as well as finish machined coupling components
and spare parts. KTR does not assume any warranty claims resulting from insufficient
remachining.
KTR supplies unbored or pilot bored coupling components and spare parts only upon
explicit request of the customer. These parts are additionally marked with the symbol .
Reference to unbored resp. pilot bored coupling components with explosion protection
marking:
Basically the company KTR supplies couplings resp. coupling hubs with explosion protection
marking as an unbored or pilot bored type only on explicit request of the customer. The prerequisite
is a declaration of exemption submitted by the customer assuming any responsibility and liability for
remachining performed properly.
If a feather keyway is intended to be used in the hub, it should correspond to the tolerance ISO JS9 (KTR
standard) with standard operating conditions or ISO P9 with complicated operating conditions (frequently
alternating torsional direction, shock loads, etc.). The keyway should preferably be located between the cams.
With axial fastening by the setscrew the tapped hole should be located on the keyway.
The transmittable torque of the shaft-hub-connection must be reviewed by the customer and is subject to his
responsibility.

We recommend to inspect bores, shaft, keyway and feather key for dimensional accuracy
before assembly.
Heating the hubs, coupling flanges or flange hubs lightly (approx. 80 °C) allows for an easier
mounting on the shaft.
With assembly please make sure that the dimension s or L, respectively (see table 1 to 14 of
! the different types) is observed so that the hubs are not in contact with each other during
the operation.
Disregarding this advice may cause damage to the coupling.
If used in potentially explosive atmospheres the setscrews to fasten the hubs as well as all
screw connections must be secured against working loose additionally, e. g. conglutinating
with Loctite (average strength).

The POLY-NORM® compensates for displacements generated by the shafts to be combined as shown in table
17. Excessive misalignment may be generated by inaccurate alignment, production tolerances, thermal
expansion, shaft deflection, twisting of machine frames, etc.
In order to ensure a long service life of the coupling and avoid dangers with the use in
! potentially explosive atmospheres, the shaft ends must be accurately aligned.
Please absolutely observe the displacement figures specified (see table 17). If the figures
are exceeded, the coupling will be damaged.
The more accurate the alignment of the coupling, the longer is its service life.
If used in potentially explosive atmospheres for explosion group IIC, only half of the
displacement figures (see table 17) are permissible.
Please note:
• The displacement figures specified in table 17 are maximum figures which must not arise in parallel. If radial
and angular displacement occurs at the same time, the sum of the displacement figures must not exceed Kr
or Kw.
• Please inspect with a dial gauge, ruler or feeler gauge whether the permissible displacement figures specified
in table 17 can be observed.
Example 2:
Kr = 60 %
Kw = 40 %

5 Start-up
Before start-up of the coupling, inspect the tightening of the setscrews in the hubs, the alignment and the distance
dimension E and adjust, if necessary, and also inspect all screw connections for the tightening torques specified.
If used in potentially explosive atmospheres the setscrews to fasten the hubs as well as all
screw connections must be secured against working loose additionally, e. g. conglutinating
with Loctite (average strength).
Finally the coupling protection against accidental contact must be fitted. It is required in accordance with
DIN EN ISO 12100 (Safety of Machinery) and directive 2014/34/EU and must protect against
• access with the little finger
• falling down of solid foreign objects.
The cover may provide for openings intended for necessary heat dissipation. These openings have to comply with
DIN EN ISO 13857.
The cover must be electrically conductive and included in the equipotential bonding. Bellhousings (magnesium
share below 7.5 %) made of aluminium and damping rings (NBR) can be used as connecting element between
pump and electric motor. The cover may only be taken off with standstill of the unit.
If the couplings are used in locations subject to dust explosion and in mining the user must
make sure that there is no accumulation of dust in a dangerous volume between the cover
and the coupling. The coupling must not operate in an accumulation of dust.
For covers with unlocked openings on the top face no light metals must be used if the
couplings are used as equipment of equipment group ll (if possible, from stainless steel).
If the couplings are used in mining (equipment group l M2), the cover must not be made of
light metal. In addition, it must be resistant to higher mechanical loads than with use as
equipment of equipment group ll.

5 Start-up
If you note any irregularities with the coupling during operation, the drive unit must be
! switched off immediately. The cause of the breakdown must be specified by means of the
table „Breakdowns“ and, if possible, be eliminated according to the proposals. The potential
breakdowns specified can be hints only. To find out the cause all operating factors and
machine components must be considered.
Coating of coupling:
If coated (priming, paintings, etc.) couplings are used in potentially explosive atmospheres,
the requirements on conductibility and coating thickness must be considered. With
paintings up to 200 µm electrostatic load does not have to be expected. Paintings and
coatings exceeding a thickness of 200 µm are generally impermissible for potentially
explosive atmospheres. It also applies for multiple coatings exceeding an overall thickness
of 200 µm. Make sure with painting or coating that the coupling components are
conductively connected with the device/devices to be connected so that the equipotential
bonding is not impeded by the paint or coat applied. In addition, make sure that the marking
of the coupling remains legible. Painting or coating of the elastomer ring is generally not
admitted.
The below-mentioned failures can lead to a use of the POLY-NORM® coupling other than intended. In addition to
the specifications given in these operating/assembly instructions make sure to avoid such failures.
The errors listed can only be clues to search for the failures. When searching for the failure the adjacent
components must generally be considered.
If used other than intended the coupling can become a source of ignition.
EU directive 2014/34/EU requires special care by the manufacturer and the user.

8 Maintenance and service
• Since the flexible machine bearings of the driving and driven side settle during the course of load, inspect the
alignment of the coupling and re-align the coupling, if necessary.
• The coupling components have to be inspected for damages.
• The screw connections have to be visually inspected.
Having started up the coupling the tightening torques of the screws have to be inspected
! during the usual inspection intervals.
With the use in potentially explosive atmospheres observe chapter 10.2 "Inspection
intervals for couplings in potentially explosive atmospheres".
We recommend to store major spare parts on site to ensure the readiness for use of the machine in case if a
coupling fails.
Contact addresses of the KTR partners for spare parts and orders can be obtained from the KTR homepage at
www.ktr.com.
KTR does not assume any liability or warranty for the use of spare parts and accessories
which are not provided by KTR and for the damages which may incur as a result.

Types available:
AR, ADR, ADR-K, AVR, AZR, AR/AZR, AZVR and AR with taper clamping sleeve
Taper clamping sleeves used without a feather key are not permitted in potentially explosive
atmospheres and are thus not provided with a respective explosion protection marking.
POLY-NORM® couplings are suitable for the use according to EU directive 2014/34/EU.
Temperature class:
Temperature class Ambient or operating temperature Ta 1) Max. surface temperature 2)
T5 -30 °C to +75 °C +95 °C
T6 -30 °C to +60 °C +80 °C
Explanation:
The maximum surface temperatures each result from the maximum permissible ambient or operating temperature Ta plus the maximum
temperature increase T of 20 K to be considered. For the temperature class a safety margin subject to standard of 5 K is added.
1) The ambient or operating temperature Ta is limited to +75 °C due to the permissible permanent operating temperature of the elastomers
used.
2) The maximum surface temperature of +95 °C applies for the use in locations which are potentially subject to dust explosion.
2. Mining
Equipment group I of category M2 (coupling is not approved/not suitable for equipment group M1)
Permissible ambient temperature -30 °C to +75 °C.

Reaching the limits for replacing depends on the operating conditions and the existing operating parameters.
With torsional backlash smax. [mm] the elastomer rings/DZ individual elements must be replaced. With wear
25 % of the original thickness of the elastomer teeth it is necessary to replace the elastomer rings/DZ individual
elements.
In order to ensure a long service life of the coupling and avoid dangers with the use in
! potentially explosive atmospheres, the shaft ends must be accurately aligned.
Please absolutely observe the displacement figures specified (see table 17). If the figures
are exceeded, the coupling will be damaged.
