Mounting onto the Shaft
EAS®-Compact® clutches include manufacturer-installed cone
bushings or keyways as part of the standard delivery.
Please observe the following when mounting cone
bushings:
Shaft tolerances
Up to diameter 38 h6 to k6
Over diameter 38 h8 to k6
Shaft surface:
finely turned or ground (Ra = 0,8 µm)
Shaft material: yield point at least 350 N/mm2,
e.g. St 60, St 70, C 45, C 60.
Degrease or remove preservation layers on the shafts and
bores before installing the clutch or the clutch hubs.
Greasy or oily bores or shafts do not transmit the
torque TRspecified on order.
Mount the clutch onto the shaft using a suitable device and
bring it into the correct axial position.
The gauge cover (Item 15, Type 49A._ 15.C) must not be
turned as otherwise the calibration will be incorrect.
Tighten the tensioning screws in steps (in 3 to max. 6
tightening sequences) and cross-wise evenly using a torque
wrench to the torque stated in Table 5.
The clutch carries out an axial movement in the
direction of the cone bushing (13) when
tightening the cone bushing (13).
De-installation on Type 49A._15._
In the cone bushing, tapped extracting holes are located next to
the tensioning screws (11 or 14).
1. Loosen all tensioning screws (11) by several thread turns.
On Type 49A._ 15.C: Screw out all tensioning screws (14)
and remove the gauge cover (15).
Please observe the position of the marking
grooves of the gauge cover (15) to the
adjusting nut (5), and keep to these positions
on re-installation.
2. Screw out the tensioning screws located next to the tapped
extracting holes and screw them into the tapped extracting
holes up to their limits.
3. Tighten the tensioning screws (11 or 14) evenly and in steps
so that the cone bushing (13) is loosened from the hub.
4. Screw the tensioning screws out of the tapped extracting
holes.
Shaft Installation via Key Connection
On the EAS®-Compact®with keyway, the clutch must be secured
axially after mounting onto the shaft, e.g. using a press cover
and a screw screwed into the shaft threaded centre hole and/or
a set screw.
The gauge cover (Item 15, Type 49A._ 25.C)
must not be turned as otherwise the calibration
will be incorrect.
Cup Spring Layering
Correct cup spring layering is a prerequisite for problem-free
clutch function and torque adjustment.
On all sizes, the lower torque range has one cup spring
(Type 49A.5_5._), the medium torque range has two cup springs
(Type 49A.6_5._) and the high torque range (not possible on
designs with cone bushing) has four cup springs (Type
49A.725._), see Fig. 6.

Torque Adjustment
In order to guarantee low-wear clutch operation, it is essential to
adjust the torque to a sufficiently high service factor (overload
torque to operating torque). Our experience has shown that an
adjustment factor of 1,3 to 3 gives good results. For very high
load changes, high accelerations and uneven operation, please
set the adjustment factor higher.
The respective torque adjustment range is printed onto the Type
tag (22). Torque adjustment is carried out by turning the
adjusting nut (5). The installed cup springs (9) are operated in
the negative range of the characteristic curve (see Fig. 9). This
means that tightening the adjusting nut (5) causes the spring
force to decrease, and loosening the adjusting nut (5) causes the
spring force to increase.
If no particular torque adjustment is requested customer-side,
the clutch will always be pre-set and marked (calibrated)
manufacturer-side to approximately 70 % of the maximum
torque.
Turning the adjusting nut (5) clockwise causes
a reduction in torque.
Turning it anti-clockwise causes an increase in
torque.
You should be facing the adjusting nut (5) as
shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 11.
If no changes to the pre-set clutch torque are
required customer-side, the hexagon head
screws (10) must nevertheless screwed out,
painted with Loctite 243 and screwed back in
again by the customer.
It is possible to check the "Spring operation in the operating
range" (Fig. 9) using the dimension "a".
Please see Tables 2 and 3 for the respective values.
Type 49A._ _5.0:
Dimension "a" is the distance from the adjusting nut facing side
(5) to the thrust washer facing side (3), see Fig. 9, Table 2.
Type 49A._ _5.C:
Dimension "a" is the distance from the adjusting nut facing side
(5) to the sealing ring facing side (16), see Fig. 12, Table 3.
