Coupling selection

Coupling selection

There are certain points to be considered while selecting and installing the coupling. It is possible to list a few of them as follows.
• First of all, the coupling should be selected at a suitable torque.
• Its assembly should be done with proper and correct alignment.
• Details such as temperature, humidity, dust or vibration of the place to be installed should be carefully examined and the workplace should be prepared according to appropriate conditions.
• Axial and horizontal angles should be calculated carefully.
• It is important in terms of dismantling as well as assembling the coupling. When adjusting the coupling location, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that it is easy to disassemble.

What should be considered in coupling maintenance?

There are certain points of attention in coupling maintenance. First of all, periodic observation is important. Coupling parts should be checked for cracks or cracks. The coupling rubber should also be taken care of because it may be torn or deformed. Oil and dirt on the coupling should be cleaned regularly. The coupling surface should be checked for wear. Noise is an issue. Extremely noisy operation may indicate a problem somewhere. Vibration is also one of the issues to be considered. There may be oil leakage in hydraulic couplings. For this reason, oil leakage should be checked frequently, especially in hydraulic couplings. The maintenance of the bolts and whether they are loose or not is one of the points to be considered during the maintenance of the coupling.
