WARNING
Injuries can occur as a result of:
ƒ Contact with rotating parts
Shield the coupling in accordance with the applicable accident
prevention regulations with an enclosure.
Exception:
The coupling is encased by the driving and driven units.

The scope of delivery provided by CENTA does not include a protective


enclosure.

This enclosure must fulfil the following criteria:


• Provide protection against persons gaining access to rotating parts
• Restrain any rotating parts which may be work loose
• Guarantee sufficient ventilation for the coupling

This enclosure must be made of stable steel components. In order to ensure


adequate ventilation for the coupling, the enclosure must be fitted with regular
openings. For safety reasons, these openings must not exceed the dimensions
outlined in table 2-1.

3 Delivery, transport, storage and disposal


3.1 Delivery
After delivery, the coupling:
• must be checked for completeness and correctness of the delivery.
• must be examined for possible transport damage (which must be reported
immediately to the carrier).

3.2 Transport

CAUTION
Injury and material damage can occur as a result of:
ƒ Incorrect transportation of couplings
Ensure that the coupling is correctly transported.

CAUTION
Material damage to coupling components can occur as a result
of:
ƒ Contact with sharp-edged objects
Protect coupling components for transportation.
Only hoist coupling components with nylon belts or ropes.
Always cushion parts when supporting them from below.

Following transportation damage:


• Check the coupling carefully for damage.
• Consult the manufacturer (Address see chapter 1).

3.3 Storage

CAUTION
Material damage to elastic elements and rubber parts can occur
as a result of:
ƒ Incorrect storage
These parts must be stored laid flat and so they cannot distort, and
protected from ozone, heat, light, moisture and solvents.

IMPORTANT
Rubber parts are marked where possible with their production date. From this date,
they may only be stored for a maximum of 5 years.

due to the combination of a torsionally flexible CENTAX element and the CENTA
link coupling with axial angular movement:

• Compensation of torsional vibrations and impacts without wear.


• Compensation of major axial, radial and angular displacement with minimal
restoring forces.
• Silent operation and noise damping.
• Backlash free, torsionally rigid and radially rigid.
• Low-maintenance, free of wear.
• Easy visual inspection.
• Fast exchange of components.
• No special tools required.
• The design is protected by international patents.
• Type approval from leading classification agencies.
• Tried and tested thousands of times over in tough daily operation since 1992.

4.2 Specifications
The specifications can be found in the catalogue and the dimensions in the
installation drawing.

CX-176…184-LFS2-200

5 Alignment of the units being connected

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.

5.1 Axial alignment


Determine the axial misalignment (see Fig. 5-1).

¾ Take installation length L from the installation drawing.


¾ Align the units (installation dimension = L±∆KA max).

Permissible axial alignment tolerance:


∆KA max=0.5 mm

CX-176…184-LFS2-200

5.2 Radial alignment

CAUTION
Material damage to elastically installed motors can occur as a
result of:
ƒ 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).

¾ Attach the dial gauge to the hub.


¾ Set the sensor of the dial gauge radially against the centering.
¾ Turn the hub with dial gauge and flywheel slowly by 360°.
¾ Align the units (calculated deviation ≤∆KR max).

The permissible radial alignment tolerance ∆KR max can be found in the following
table.

¾ Attach the dial gauge to the hub.


¾ Position the sensor of the dial gauge radially against flat surface at a
distance R.
¾ Turn the hub with dial gauge and flywheel slowly by 360°.

The maximum dial gauge deflection must not exceed the value 2xSw at any
point. The permissible tolerance SW max should be taken from the table below.

6.8 Mounting size 3 and 4 links ("ccw" / "cw" rotation)

IMPORTANT
• The links must be mounted in such a way that they are subjected to tensile load.A
differentiation is made between the direction of rotation left (ccw) and right (cw),
looking towards the driving end.
• Links are packaged in sets.
• All links of a link set are the same weight.
• Only mount links in complete sets "crosswise".
• Instructions on how to mount one link are provided following. Item numbers and
the part illustrations may differ slightly from the delivery state.

The following table gives an overview of the number of size of the links used.

8 Care and maintenance

WARNING
Injuries can occur as a result of:
ƒ Contact with rotating parts
Before starting work at the coupling, switch off the plant and secure
against unintentional start-up.

The coupling requires low maintenance. We recommend a visual inspection at


the regular scheduled maintenance intervals for the whole unit.

8.1 Work to be performed


8.1.1 Cleaning the coupling
¾ Remove any loose dirt from the coupling.

8.1.2 Visual inspection of the coupling


¾ Inspect the coupling for cracks, chips or missing parts.
¾ Replace faulty and missing parts.

8.1.3 Visual inspection of links


¾ Make a visual inspection of the links every 12 months.

Pay particular attention to the rubber bushes of the links. Squash folds and small
cracks of up to 1 mm may be considered normal.
In the case of crack depths in excess of 1 mm, or detachment of the rubber-to-
metal bond, the links must be exchanged.

IMPORTANT
Exchange the links:
• In the event of damage
• When replacing the rubber elements

IMPORTANT
• Links are packaged in sets.
• All links of a link set are the same weight.
• Only mount or replace links in complete sets.

10 Wearing and spare parts

WARNING
Injury and material damage can occur as a result of:
ƒ Mounting and/or utilization of non-original CENTA parts
Never use parts from other manufacturers.

A stock of the most important wearing and spare parts is the most important
condition to ensure that the coupling is functional and ready for operation at all
times.

We only provide a warranty for CENTA original parts.

Wearing parts of this coupling:


• The link kits (BS). These contain all screws, washers and bearing units. In
the event that links or rubber bushes of the link are faulty, they must be
replaced as a complete set.
• The rubber elements. These are delivered pre-assembled as BG rubber
elements. When exchanging the rubber elements, all screw connections must
be renewed. These must be ordered separately.

IMPORTANT
• Links are packaged in sets.
• All links of a link set are the same weight.
• Only mount or replace links in complete sets.

When ordering a spare, specify:


• Order no.
• Coupling order no.
• Drawing no.
