HBE SOFTEX Service manual

1. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Softex® coupling is a torsionally flexible, puncture-
proof three part claw coupling.
Due to the elastic gear ring, it enables to dampen im-
pacts, torsional vibrations, as well as noises.
Furthermore, the gear ring has a high resistance, elastici-
ty as well as good resistance to oils, greases, a variety of
solvents, ozone and influences of the weather.
Due to the construction of the coupling (hub / elastic
gear ring / hub), an angular resp. a radial misalignment
of the shafts to be connected as well as expansions will
be compensated.
The operating temperatures are between -50°C and
+120°C, depending on the type of gear ring. Short term
temperature peaks up to +150°C are admissible.

3.4 USAGE
The following items must be paid attention to before
mounting, operation or service of the coupling.
• The operating and mounting instructions are to be read
imperatively.
• Operations must only be made by qualified personnel.
The coupling must only be applied in accordance to its
corresponding technical data. Constructional changes of
the coupling parts without any permission by the manufac-
turer are illegal and result in loss of warrenty.
4. STORAGE
Due to the corrosion protection which must not be da-
maged, the coupling can be stored for approx. 6 – 12
months at a dry place.
The gear rings (Polyurethane) keep their qualities in case
of a corresponding storage for approx. 5 years.
ATTENTION!
It must be ensured that there is no condensation in
the storage rooms. A relative humidity of less than
65 % is favourable.
Furhtermore, please ensure that there are no ozone
generating devices, such as illuminants or high
voltage devices in the storage rooms.
5. MOUNTING
5.1 MOUNTING OF COUPLING
Basically, the coupling is supplied in component parts.
Before mounting, the coupling must be checked for com-
pleteness.

5.2 CHANGES OF COUPLING
DANGER!
A change at the coupling parts is only permitted
after having checked with the manufacturer.
For making the shaft bore by the user, please pay attenti-
on to the following items:
• The maximum admissible bore diameter d1 + d2 (see
Technical Data) must not be exceeded. In case of
disregard of these values, the coupling might break.
Flying fragments can cause serious personal injuries.
This concerns all materials.
• The predetermined planning and rotation accuracy of
the manufacturer must be adhered to.
• For making the finish bore, a careful alignment must be
made.
• For the axial safety device, please use a locking screw.
• If using a locking screw, following tightening torques
must be kept (see table):
5.3 MOUNTING
INDICATION!
Before mounting, we recommend to check the bores,
shaft, hub and feather key for accuracy.
A heating of the hubs to approx. 80°C eases the fitting
onto the shaft.
DANGER!
In order to avoid burnings by the contact with ted
hubs, please wear safety gloves.
CAUTION!
Please pay attention to the danger of ignition in
hazardous areas.
ATTENTION!
When mounting the coupling, please ensure that the
dimension E (see Technical Data) must absolutely be
kept, so that the gear ring is axially movable during
operation. Disregard might lead to damages.
• After mounting of the hubs to the shafts of the drive and
load side, the dimension “E” must be adjusted by relo-
cation of the aggregates or the hubs on the shafts.
• Shafts with inserted feather key and a smaller diameter
than the inner diameter of the gear ring dh may reach
into the gear ring. The distance between the shafts must
not be lower than 50% of the dimension “E”.
• For securing the hubs by relocation, please tighten the
locking screw with corresponding starting torque
(Table 5.3).

5.4 VALUES OF MISALIGNMENT
CAUTION!
During operation in hazardous areas, the ends of
the shaft must imperatively be aligned. Furthermore,
the durability of the coupling can be increased by
an exact alignment. Please keep the recommended
values of misalignment (see table).
Exceeding of the values will lead to damages on the
coupling. For operation in hazardous areas of ex-
plosion groups IIC (Designation II 2G c IIC T4), the
values must be reduced by 50%.
The values of the table are valid for an operating tempe-
rature T = +30°.
ATTENTION!
In case of an increase of the operating temperature,
the maximum permissible values of radial alignment
and misalignment of angle must be multiplied by the
temperature factor.

Afterwards, the user has to fit a coupling protection con-
sisting of a fixed cover. The cover is intended to protect
the coupling especially from falling items. The covers can
be provided with regular openings. Following dimensions
must not be exceeded.
The distance of the cover to rotating parts must be at
least 5 mm. The cover must be electrically conductive and
must be included in the potential equalisation. The cover
is only allowed to be taken off during a halt. Aluminium
bellhousings (also with damping flange) are permitted as
connecting element, if the content of magnesium is less
than 7.5 %.
CAUTION!
When mounting the coupling to machines of cate-
gory 2D, please ensure that there is no dust be-
tween cover and coupling. The couplings must not
operate in dust particles. When using the coupling
in machines of group I, category M2, the cover must
not consist of light metal (higher mechanical load).
During operation of the coupling please pay attention to:
• Changed operation noises
• Occurring vibrations
ATTENTION!
In case of changes or irregularities during the opera-
tion of the coupling, the power unit must be switched
off immediately. The cause of the disturbance must
be found out by the check list ”Trouble in service”
and be removed, if possible.
