For a long-lasting 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 „BoWex flange couplings"). If the operating conditions (performance, speed, modifications on engine and machine) change, the coupling selection must be reviewed. 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. 2.6 Reference to EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC 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 please refer to the present operating/assembly instructions considering the warnings. 3 Storage, transport and packaging 3.1 Storage The coupling hubs are supplied in preserved condition and can be stored at a dry and covered place for 6 - 9 months. The flange is supplied packed in foil and remains unchanged up to 5 years if stored with package. ! 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 %. 3.2 Transport and packaging ! In order to avoid any injuries and any kind of damage please 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.

With the assembly please make sure that the spline of the hub is fully covered by the internal spline of the flange. (Please observe mounting dimensions l3 or l7.) Disregarding this advice may cause damage to the coupling. ! If the power packs are already firmly assembled, shifting the hub axially on the shaft allows for setting the distance dimension. 4.8 Displacements - alignment of the couplings ® The BoWex flange couplings compensate for positional deviations of the machine components to be connected up to the data specified in table 12. With alignment, the radial and angular displacement should be kept as small as possible, because the service life is increased in this way if the operating conditions are otherwise maintained. ® The BoWex flange coupling has to be aligned from the coupling hub on the shaft side towards one of the machined surfaces of the flywheel or machine. ! In order to ensure a long service life of the coupling, the shaft ends have to be accurately aligned. Please absolutely observe the displacement figures specified (see table 12). If the figures are exceeded, the coupling will be damaged. The more accurate the alignment of the coupling, the longer is its service life. Please note: The displacement figures specified in table 12 are maximum figures which must not arise in parallel. If radial and angular displacements arise at the same time, the permissible displacement values may only be used proportionally (see illustration 12). The displacement figures specified are general standard figures that apply up to an ambient temperature of ® 80 °C, ensuring a sufficient service life of the BoWex coupling.
