4.0 INSTALLATION OF RZS OR RMS COUPLING HALVES
[NOTE:The RZS o: RMS half cousings ate preaseembied from the
factory and lacked in place bythe shipping sevows, seo general section
WARNING! I host is used at any time for instalation, DO NOT allow
‘the coupling temperature o excood 50°F (230°C). Use 9 temperature
sensing dovice to ensure that overheating does not oceur, NEVER
APPLY AN OPEN FLAMETOTHE DISC PACKS. An oll ath or ovon is
recommended
HYDRAULIC (KEYLESS) MOUNTING
Specific instructors for hyraule mounting of coupling hubs are given by
the manufacturers of the mounting equipment and connected equipment.
‘The folowing general nstuctons on mounting ara given for reference,
Make sure thatthe equipment manufacture’ instructions ara supled
ang are ‘ole
4.1. Check the hub bore ang shalt for nicks and burrs, ess f necessary
‘Make sure thatthe bore and shaft aa clean
4.2. Check tne ft ofthe nore tothe shat, per APLGT’ atleast 85%
contact is required. Mate sure there are no O-rings or backup rings
in the ol seal gtooves. DO NOT lap the hub onthe shaft 70 oarain the
required contact, use special gauges. Record tne postion of the hub
fon the shaft asthe “star” postion for aavarcing
43, Clean the hub bore and shst end install he Orrings and backup rings
Grused)
4.4, Place the RZS of AMS half caueling on the shaft ang instal the
necessary hydraulic mounting equipment.
45. Placo the hub in the “sta” poston and injct elt pressurize the
bore and expand the hub. Check or leks.
46, Push the coupling ont tne shalt to tha specified aovance. Keep the
proper pressure inthe bore. DO NOT exceed the maximum alwable
sembly pressure specitag on ne coupling ganerl arrangement

47 lease the bore pressure slowly and allow some time forthe cil
todran from the bore. Leave the pusher in pace to held the hub in
position
4.8 Remove the hub pusher after the bore oll has drained and very the
correct advance ofthe hub on the shat. Insta the shaft nut (fused)
and loc in place.
REGAL KEYED MOUNTING
4.8 Check the hub bore ang shalt fr nicks and burrs, ess f necessary.
4.10 Clean the hub bore and shaft.
4.17 For taper bores, chock the ft! the bore to the shal, Record the
position ofthe hab on the shaft as tho “start” postion for advancing
{per bored couplings
4.12 Keys muste precisely fed tothe keyways in the shaft and nu.
Each key should nave 3 tight fan the sides with a sight clearance
‘ontop. To mainisin dynam balance, the Keys should" the Keynays
‘exactly and not be too short or too long,
413 Host the onto AZS or RMS counling ht assembly to expand the
bore; BO NOT alow the coupling temperature to excoed 450" F
(230° ¢), 00 NOT soply an open fame to any par athe coupling

If SHIM ADJUST is 20, pace one shim pack onthe spacer and
store the second shim pack.
If SHIM ADJUST is a negative number, move shims equal in

8.0 REMOVAL
18.1. Remove the spacer bal and nuts and break the flanges apart using
the jacking screw holes located netween the spacer bot holes.
{82 Install she yellow collapsing sccaws in the counterbored clearance
holes inthe sleeve and tighten them to collgnse the dsc pack This
jperaion wil pul the sleeve aay trom the spacer and alow the

LNOTE:The colapsing screws must be tightened progressivaly and in
smallinctements; DO NOT tighten thar one at a ime,
22. KEYED - Install apular on the hub using the tapped holes provided in
the hui ‘ace; pul the hub off tho shaft DO NOT PULL ONTHE RZS
(OR AMS SLEEVE OR DISC PACK.
184 HYDRAUL(C- instal the hydraule eauiament and remave the hus
fram the shat reversing the instalation procedure. DO NOT exceed
the maximum allowable assembly oressie specific on the coupling
general arrangement drawing, or on equioment manufacture’
instalation instuctons,
‘CAUTION: i heat is used in removing hal coupling from the sha

9.0 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Kop-Flex High Performance ase couplings are designed to operate
{fo extonced peroas without the need for lubeation or msintonance
Visual inspection of the dae packs is suifciont to assess the onerstional
condition of the coupling
{All high speea mactinery shouldbe constenty mantored to detect
unususl a changing vibrtion levels. The Kop-Fex coupling, under normal
‘operation conctions, hes no wearing pats and will retain ts orginal
balance quality. Any change in vibration levels shoule be investigated and
remedial sction shoul be taken mmediately
‘The serial number is marked on every major component of the coupling. It
‘s required for accuse dentiicaion and is sui'cent for ordanng an exact
