3. Align shafts. Some parallel and angular misalignment usually develops in

usage because of shifting of the driving and driven units. Therefore, the shaft

must be aligned as accurately as possible during installation to minimize

wear. It will result in far longer service life with lower maintenance and

operating cost.

4. Wrap chain around ﬂanges and secure ends. Chain should move freely on

ﬂanges when coupling is properly aligned.

Lubrication

1. Coupling without cover.

Brush thoroughly at least once a week with a medium body machine

or engine oil or with a good quality roller bearing grease of medium

constancy. Particular attention to lubrication is required for coupling

operating at high speeds. Re-lubricate frequently as required.

2. Coupling with cover.

a. Work as good quality roller bearing grease of soft or medium consistency

that minimum melting point of 260 degrees into the chain around its

perimeter, being careful to completely lubricate the chain rollers and

sprocket teeth. Do not use a cup or thick grease.

b. Install coupling cover as per manufacturer’s instructions and ﬁll with same

grease.

3. Re-lubrication: Re-lubricate after initial 100 hours and once per year

thereafter.

4. Check alignment and setscrews at the above same intervals.
