1. Selecting the Correct Flexible Coupling:
(Details Required to be provided to PMI) |
| A: Engine Horse Power
and Engine Speed |
| B: Gearbox type and
Reduction Ratio |
| C: Gearbox Flange
Details: |
| - Diameter of Flange |
| - Diameter of the Register |
| - Diameter of Pitch Circle (center
of 12 o'clock hole to center of 6 o'clock hole) |

2. Flexible Shaft Coupling Installation: |
| A: Roughly align
engine and gear without flexible coupling. (i.e. only 2 rigid half
couplings pushed together) |
| B: Bolt the flexible
coupling between the two rigid couplings. |
| C: Check alignment (as
shown below) of the engine by placing a feeler gauge (purchased
inexpensively at most hardware stores) between the bolt head
and the rigid half coupling. Repeat for the SAME BOLT after rotating
shaft 90 degrees until gap has been measured 4 times (1 complete rotation
of shaft). |
|
|
| D: If the gap is the
same in all four positions, the engine is accurately aligned.
Recommended minimum to maximum gap difference of 0.010 inch / 0.25 mm. |
| E: Run engine after
installation to bring engine compartment to working temperature.
Re-check torque settings. |
