Warning
WarningWarning
Warning
〔General〕
・Make sure to install a safety cover.
Injury may occur, when a hand or finger touch the product due to the rotating parts. Make sure to put the safety cover
to prevent the body from the rotating parts for preventing the danger.
Set a safety mechanism to stop the rotating parts immediately when the cover is lifted.
・Transporting, installing, operating, maintaining or inspecting must be carried out by skilled and professional engineers.
Injury or machine breakage may occur.
・When the coupling is used with vehicles that carry human, set a safety device at the device side for the safety purpose.
Bodily injury or machine breakage due to the runaway/falling may occur.
・When the coupling is used for the lifting/lowering device, set a safety device at the device side in order to prevent from
falling. Bodily injury or machine breakage due to falling may occur.
〔Transportation〕
・Never step under the product when it is elevated for transportation. Bodily injury due to the falling may occur.
〔Installation〕
・Wear the proper clothing and safety gear (safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.) when mounting or dismounting the
coupling.
・Make sure to turn off the power in advance, and prevent from the switch turning on suddenly.
・Make sure to tighten the bolts securely and prevent the bolts from loosening completely.
・Critical condition such as the breakage of the bolts may occur depending on the state of tightening of the bolts. Make
sure to tighten the bolts certainly.
〔Operation〕
・Never approach or contact to the rotating parts (coupling, shaft, etc.) during operation. Getting into the machine or
bodily injury may occur.
〔Maintenance and inspection〕
・Never approach or contact to the rotating parts (coupling, shaft etc.) when maintaining or inspecting during operation.
Getting into the machine or bodily injury may occur.
・ Make sure to turn off the power in advance, and prevent from the switch turning on suddenly. In addition, make sure to
stop the rotation of the drive or driven machine certainly.

Caution
〔General〕
・Never use the coupling at the condition except for the product specification. Injury or machine breakage may occur.
・Never use the broken coupling. Injury or machine breakage may occur.
・Never remove the name plate attached to the product.
〔Upon delivery on the coupling〕
・In case the wooden crate, pay attention to the box nail when unpacking. Injury may occur.
〔Alteration〕
・Never do the alteration or remodeling except for the machining for boring, keyway and tap hole for set screw.
It declines the quality and function of the coupling, and becomes the cause of breakage, eventually it may damage the machine
and injure the operator.
・Alteration should be handled by expert and be followed with the operational process and caution.
〔Transportation〕
・Pay extra attention so that the equipment will not fall or rollover during the transportation.
・In case the product is heavy, injury or throwing out the back may happen when handling by hands. Use the hoist with
I-bolt. Remove the I-bolt after installation.
・When hoisting the product to transport, confirm the mass of product and use the hoisting attachment with load less than
the rated load of the hoisting attachment. Breakage, falling, injury and breakage of the equipment may occur.
〔Installation〕
・Never touch the inner diameter portion and the edge portion of any parts with bare hands. Injury may occur.
・Regarding the alignment of the drive and driven shaft to which coupling are mounted, make sure to adjust within the
recommended value on alignment in the instruction manual.
〔Operation〕
・Pay attention to keep hands and body away from the coupling and machine during operation. Injury may occur.
・Stop the operation immediately when the abnormality happens. Breakage of equipment may occur.
〔Maintenance and inspection〕
・Wear an appropriate clothes and protective equipment (safety glass, gloves, safety shoes etc.)
・Organize the surroundings, maintain and inspect under the safety condition to prevent the secondary accident.
・Observe the Ordinance on Labor Safety and Hygiene 2-1-1 general standards.
・Confirm periodically whether the mounting condition of the product (alignment etc.) is maintained as the recommended
condition in the instruction manual.
〔Environment〕
・When scrapping the product, ask the professional to dispose it considering the load to the environment.

Shaft bore/keyway achiningShaft bore/keyway achining
Shaft bore/keyway achining
Follow the procedure below when achining the shaft bore
and keyway fro the product with rough bore.
(1) Hold the outer dia eter of hub, align as shown in figure 1,
then achine it. It is reco ended to use the carbide
aterial (JIS sy bol 9-20, K-01) for cutting tool because
sintered hub type and plating specification hub are iron
sintered alloy, and are treated with stea .
(L190 and L225 is cast iron.)
(2) Machine the keyway different fro the jaw portion.
Reco ended tap size and position are shown in the table 1.
(3) Regarding the tolerance for shaft bore achining, Lose fit
is reco ended as shown in the table 2. Never use Tight fit
or Power-Lock installation in which the tensile stress is
generated.

Installation
(1) Install the hub and key to both shafts. Do not
ha er the hub and key. File the key sufficiently so
that the key atch the keyway.
(2) Fix the set screw at the two points.
(3) Set the insert to one of the hubs.
(4) Install both hubs so that the end face of the jaw and
that of the insert beco e to the sa e plane.
(Figure2)
(5) Adjust the angular isalign ent by setting the S
di ension (Table 3) to be equal on the circu ference
as Figure3. Refer to Table 3 for allowable angular
isalign ent α.
(6) Put the straight edge on the circu ference of hug,
and adjust the ε value equal or s aller than that in
Table 3 at 2 points 90°separated.
Life of insert is uch influenced depending on the
accuracy of align ent.
(7) In case the rotational speed exceeds 2000r/ in, it is
reco ended value of ε and α are less than half of
that in Table 3.
(8) As an another ounting procedure, there is the
ethod to ove both hubs so as the end faces of jaw
and insert beco e sa e plane. Align ent ethod is
the sa e as (5) and (6). After align ent, ake sure
to tighten the two set screws by tightening torque
shown in Table 4.
(9) Use the adhesive for etal to prevent set screw fro
co ing loose. (Reco ended adhesive; Loctite 262）
