4 Technical description
4.1 Characteristics
The CENTAX-SEC series L coupling have the following excellent characteristics,
due to the combination of a torsionally flexible CENTAX element and the CENTA
link coupling with axial angular movement:
4.2 Specifications
The specifications can be found in the catalogue and the dimensions in the
installation drawing.
CX-176…184-LFS2-200
IMPORTANT
• Align the units during the assembly.
• Align the units that are to be connected as accurately as possible. In this way, a
long service life for the coupling and maximum operating misalignment values can
be achieved.
The overall misalignment is composed of the misalignment and the operating
misalignment. The permissible overall misalignment values can be found in the
corresponding catalogue and must not be exceeded.
• All permissible alignment tolerances apply to arrangements at operating
temperatures.
If the arrangement would be aligned at a different temperature, there would be
additional deviations in the arrangement, which were produced by the difference
between the aligning and operating temperature.
For alignment, this has to be taken into account.
• After completion of assembly, check the alignment of the coupling again and if
necessary correct.
CX-176…184-LFS2-200
CAUTION
Material damage to elastically installed motors can occur as a
result of:
Disregard during alignment of the extent by which the motor
bearing settles
During vertical alignment, take into account the extent by which the
motor bearing settles. Please enquire about specifications for the
degree of settling from the motor manufacturer or motor bearing
manufacturer.
Measure the radial misalignment with a dial gauge (see Fig. 5-2).
The permissible radial alignment tolerance ∆KR max can be found in the following
table.
