Maintenance
The torsionally stiff Gear Coupling RINGFEDER®TNZ must be
maintained and lubricated regularly!
Please check the following points during
routine maintenance work on the system:
Lubricant quantity in the coupling
Leak tightness of the coupling
Adjustment of the coupling
A tight fit on all fastening elements
Remove dust and dirt deposits on the coupling parts
Inspection and maintenance
The coupling must be re-lubricated after every 1,000 hours of
operation.
After every 5,000 hours of operation or at least once every two
years the grease must be changed, gears and seals inspected
for damage and the adjustment checked.
The position of the gear hub and the sprocket sleeve to one
another must be marked before opening the coupling.
Place the geared parts back together in their original position
after the inspection. The same gears must always interlock as
before.
It is recommended to exchange the seal elements as well as the
screws and nuts as part of the maintenance.
General information on operation
Please note the identification data when using the coup-
ling (see product Product Paper & Tech Paper ”Gear Cou-
plings“). They may never be exceeded without the written
authorisation of RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION.
In order to ensure the failure-free, long-term operation of
the coupling it must be adjusted in accordance with the
design specification in the Product Paper & Tech Paper ”Gear
Couplings“ with an operating factor that is suitable for the
operating conditions. Any modification to the conditions
of use or the operating parameters necessitates an inspec-
tion of the coupling configuration.
At the start and during operation please pay attention to:
changes in running sounds,
vibrations,
leaks,
other unusual occurrences.
Attention!
If you discover irregularities at the start or during operation
then please switch the drive off immediately!
Determine the cause of the fault and resolve it.
All the machine components and operating circumstances
must be taken into account when searching for the fault.
Coupling operating temperature:
-10 °C to +80 °C
