1. The following instructions should be read and understood prior to starting any assembly or maintenance work. 2. Prior to replacing any component, care should be taken to ensure that it is clean and free from any dirt. 3. When tightening any bolts or screws, this should be done evenly, cylinder head fashion, to 50% torque then to 100% torque in the same sequence. Where specified it is essential that torque tightening figures are not exceeded nor should it be allowed for them to be below specification. 4. Do ensure that where hub/shaft connections require a standard interference fit the hubs may be heated in oil at 135 Celsius and rapidly positioned on the shaft. It is essential that this heating is evenly applied over the whole hub and that spot heating is avoided. 5. Do ensure that adequate axial restraint between the hub and the shaft is provided.

GENERAL GUIDANCE for the installation of Series 2000 and other Bibby resilient grid couplings
The diagrams and instructions on this page refer to the installation of Bibby Series 2000 and, in general, to all other types of Bibby resilient grid couplings, which are supplied with various types of grid covers according to requirement. They should be used in conjunction with the tables on page 2 and notes regarding specific coupling types on subsequent pages. NOTE: covers that are NOT axially split MUST be placed over shaft before fitting hubs
2. ALIGNMENT
Satisfactory alignment can be achieved with the use of a straight edge and feeler gauge, although a dial indicator would generally improve accuracy independent of component and shaft geometric errors.
5. TIGHTEN ALL FOUNDATION BOLTS. REPEAT STEPS 3 & 4 AND IF NECESSARY RE-ALIGN.
We strongly recommend the use of Bibby ECL grease, which is specially formulated for use with all types of flexible couplings as defined by AGMA CG-1/CG-2/CG-3 specifications. It is a high base oil viscosity grease and offers three to four years
6. GRID ASSEMBLY
2000V (vertically split cover), insert gasket through the gap and support on either hub or shaft. Before inserting the grid segments, thoroughly pack the grooves with the specified lubricant. Bibby ECL grease will extend the life of the coupling by three to four years depending on site conditions, and is recommended. When grids are supplied in two or more segments assemble so the cut ends at a segment joint extend in the same direction. Spread the grid slightly so that it will pass over the coupling teeth, and tap all the rungs into the respective slots with a soft mallet.
7. COVER ASSEMBLY
Pack the spaces around the grid with lubricant and wipe off the excess flush with top of grid. 2000H (horizontally split cover). Position seals on hubs so that they line up with grooves on cover. Position gaskets on lower cover half and assemble covers so that match marks are on the same side. If using the coupling in any position other than horizontal, assemble cover halves with the lug and match mark up, or on the high side. Fasten the cover halves to the torque specified in the table on page 2. Series 2000V (vertically split cover). Remove lube plugs to ease cover assembly. Slide cover halves, complete with seal, onto hubs. Position lube holes at 180 apart. Align cover and gasket bolt holes and fasten flanges together using the bolts provided, tightening to the torque specified in the table on page 2.

MAINTENANCE
Check coupling misalignment every year and adjust if required. Excessive misalignment, high ambient temperatures and/or frequent rapid reversing may necessitate more frequent inspections. If quantity of lubricant appears low, check for leaks and change seals if necessary, replenish lubricant. Clean coupling of all old lubricant and replace every two years. Bibby ECL grease will extend the life of the coupling by three to four years depending on site conditions, and is recommended.

Maximum angularity (i.e. difference across gap in mm) is based on a misalignment angle of 1/4 between shafts.
We strongly recommend the use of Bibby ECL grease, which has been formulated specifically for use with couplings. This high base oil viscosity grease will extend coupling life by 3 to 4 years subject to site conditions.
Bibby GEAR COUPLINGS Installing other versions from the range Cardan Shaft Arrangement
Type FSC
This assembly comprises two single engagement couplings, type FS, which are connected to a shaft. The installation data for each individual coupling is as given in this leaflet. Parallel offset is available with the type FSC and is a function of the overall distance across the gear mesh.
ALIGNMENT METHOD
Each company has its own methods for aligning machines and the various alternatives are well documented. It is not our intention, therefore, to describe methods of setting machines.
Spacer Couplings
Type FDT
This assembly is as the type FD double engagement coupling and installation details can be taken from the appropriate tabulation. The exception to this is the parallel offset, which is a function of the overall distance across the gear mesh. Refer to Bibby Transmissions if in doubt.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All Bibby gear couplings will accept substantial amounts of misalignment as detailed in the catalogue. However, it must be appreciated that the figures specified are the MAXIMUM PERMITTED VALUES FOR NORMAL USE. To allow for movement of machines and shafts during operation IT IS IMPORTANT TO LIMIT THE LEVELS OF PERMITTED MISALIGNMENT AT INITIAL INSTALLATION to make allowance for maximum movement (and minimum resultant load) during actual use. All the following information is intended as a guide to maximum recommended accuracy of the initial setup values. It should be remembered that the greater the degree of accuracy of initial alignment, the greater the length of trouble free life the coupling is likely to enjoy.
Rigid Couplings
Type FR
The rigid coupling type FR has no ability to accept any misalignment either during installation or when operating. Bolt sizes and torque tightening values can be taken from the tabulation for type FD.
AXIAL ALIGNMENT
The axial distance between hubs of gear couplings will vary depending on the type of coupling and the requirements of the customer. The tables on page 6 indicate the recommended distance which should then be within the limits specified. In the case of full rigid couplings there is an axial distance but no tolerance is allowed. Should there be any misalignment prior to final tightening of the connecting bolts then this will force the shafts to move and affect loading on associated machinery.
ANGULAR ALIGNMENT
The maximum angular misalignment of the coupling is a function of the design of the product. The assembly limits are as specified in the tables overleaf. These should be considered to be maximums and every effort needs to be made to reduce these to a minimum. The tolerance is the maximum variation in distance between opposing hub faces.
PARALLEL OFFSET
Parallel offset is not available with the single engagement or rigid versions. When supplied as a double engagement version then the offset is a function of the allowable angular misalignment and the distance between the gear meshes. For standard couplings this information is given in the tables overleaf. Offset should be kept to an absolute minimum to ensure longer life of the coupling. This tolerance is the maximum variation in the centre-line of the connecting shafts. 5
Vertical Mounted
The vertically mounted couplings depicted in our catalogue are a variation of the type FD and installation data can be taken from that range. Please note the slightly different assembly of the extra components required with this modified coupling.
1.
CAUTION
Clean all parts. Heat hubs in an oil bath or an oven to a maximum of 135C. DO NOT rest gear teeth on the bottom of the container or apply a flame directly to the gear teeth. Use Bibby ECL grease, or a lubricant that meets the specifications given. Pack sleeve teeth with grease and lightly coat seals with grease BEFORE assembly. Keep O Rings clear of heated hubs.
4. OFFSET ALIGNMENT
Align so that a straight edge rests squarely (or within the limits specified) on both hubs as shown above and also at 90 intervals. Check with feelers. The clearance should not exceed the OFFSET limit specified. Tighten all foundation bolts and repeat Steps 3 and 4. Realign coupling if necessary. Grease the hub teeth.
6. LUBRICATE
Remove all lubrication plugs. Fill with Bibby ECL or other recommended grease until an excess appears at an open hole, then insert plug. Continue procedure until all plugs have been inserted. For vertical couplings, fill BOTH top and bottom sleeves as outlined above. IN ADDITION, vent TOP flanged sleeve by inserting a 0.25mm thick SMOOTH feeler gauge between seal and hub. Fill until excess appears at feeler. Repeat at 90 intervals. CAUTION. Make certain all plugs are inserted after lubricating.

Eflex Hubs
Coupling hubs are generally supplied with an H7 bore tolerance. Therefore axial restraint of the hub should be provided by set screws when transition fits are specified. When interference fits are specified it will be necessary to apply heat to the hubs, preferably in an oil bath or oven to a maximum temperature of 135C. Mount the hubs on their respective shafts, normally with the face of each hub flush with the end of its shaft and tighten setscrews onto the key, when supplied. Notes concerning brakedrum and brakedisc couplings. 1. Brakedrum and brakedisc hubs should be mounted on the shaft with the greatest flywheel effect. 2. When the brakedisc is supplied as a loose component ensure that the brakedisc is loosely positioned over the coupling hub boss before positioning the driving and driven machines.
1.2
Powerpin Hubs
Hubs are manufactured to suit Taper Lock Bushes, therefore, ensure that the protective coating is removed from the bush and that all parts are thoroughly cleaned especially the mating tapered surfaces. Insert bush into the hub so that the holes line up. Sparingly oil the thread and grub screw points, or when appropriate, the thread and under head of capscrews. Place screws loosely in holes threaded in hub, shown thus in diagram. Clean shaft and fit hub to shaft as one unit and locate in desired position remembering that the bush will nip the shaft first and then the hub will be slightly drawn on to the bush. Using a hexagon torque wrench tighten screws gradually and alternately to torque shown in the table opposite. Hammer against large end of bush, using a block or sleeve to prevent damage. (This will ensure that the bush is seated squarely in the bore). Screws will now turn a little more. Repeat this alternate hammering and tightening once or twice to achieve maximum grip on the shaft.

3. BRAKEDISC COUPLINGS
The brakedisc can now be secured to the coupling hub by tightening the fasteners to the appropriate torque. i.e. M16 - 215 Nm M20 - 420 Nm
4. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Periodically check alignment, check fasteners torques and check flexible elements for wear to determine if replacements are required. Excessive misalignment, high ambient temperatures and/or frequent rapid reversing may necessitate more frequent inspection. 8
NOTES: 1. Further misalignment due to foundation settlement, differential expansion, driving and driven machine movement etc., will be accommodated by the coupling throughout the life of the machine.

Charts for Series BA are printed in this document. When looking on the adjusting nut (3), clockwise rotation by the fractional number of turns indicated on the setting chart will give a corresponding increase in spring deflection and increase in load. 4. The change in spring deflection can be accurately determined by measuring the initial and final depth position of the adjusting nut (3) from the flange face of the housing (1), using depth micrometers. The actual spring deflection can then be calculated by subtracting the initial depth from the final depth. 5. Re-tighten the setscrew (5) in the module housing (1) to lock the adjusting nut (3).

Donts
1. Do not use any component that is not supplied or approved by Bibby Turboflex in the assembly of this product. 2. Do not attempt to lift a coupling without the use of lifting equipment where the weight is excessive. 3. The inherent balance of these couplings could be disturbed if they are knocked, either by striking or rolling. Care should be taken when transporting and fitting to avoid such knocks. This is particularly relevant when a coupling has been specifically balanced.

Alignment method
Generally, the better the initial alignment of the driver and driven machinery, the smoother the driveline will run. Each company has its own methods for aligning machines and the various alternatives are well documented. It is, therefore, not our intention to describe methods of setting machines.
No maintenance no wearing parts, no lubrication. No environmental limitation good resistance to atmospheric conditions. High operating speeds. Precise synchronisation no backlash, no torsional winding. Long life excellent fatigue properties.
Important note: All Bibby Turboflex Disc Couplings will accept substantial amounts of misalignment, the configuration and design of each individual unit defining the actual acceptance levels. However, it must be appreciated that the various installation allowances shown are the maximum permitted values for normal use. To allow for movement of machines and shafts during operation, it is important to limit the levels of permitted misalignment at initial installation to make allowance for maximum movement (and minimum resultant loads) during actual use. All the following information is intended as a guide to maximum recommended accuracy of the initial set-up values. It should be remembered that the greater the degree of accuracy of initial alignment, the greater the length of trouble-free life the coupling is likely to enjoy. Having correctly aligned the coupling, ensure that all bolts or attachment screws are correctly tightened to the torque figures given for the particular coupling. If possible, check tightness again after a few hours running.
Bibby Turboflex General Purpose Disc Couplings are surface protected using phosphating techniques for corrosion resistance. Bibby Turboflex products have been subjected to the most intensive technical scrutiny and design development in order to satisfy Bibby Turboflexs commitment to product integrity and reliability. It is for this reason that, when installing the product, all the instructions contained in this document must be adhered to, and variations are not allowed beyond those which may be given by Bibby Turboflex.
Axial alignment
The axial distance between flange faces of disc coupling hubs will vary depending on the type of coupling and the requirements of the customer. In general, the fewer the bolts used in the coupling drive the greater the allowance which can be made for initial set-up. In all instances of double element design where there is a pre-determined distance between shaft ends (DBSE), the coupling will be manufactured such that, on assembly, the shafts on which the hubs are to be fitted must be to that dimension, within the following tolerances:
Technical advice
Bibby Turboflex can offer technical advice and assistance to help users select the right coupling from our extensive range. This service can be extended to installation, maintenance and refurbishments. A technical consultancy service is available to assist with all manner of power transmission problems.
No. of bolts
Tolerance on DBSE
4 6 8 10
In the case of single element couplings (Type DS) this tolerance must be halved and applied to the catalogue DBSE. The flange faces are checked to ensure that they are parallel within 0.25mm across the diameter. If this axial distance is allowed to vary from that specified above and in the product sections that follow, damage to the coupling will result. There will also be excessive axial loads imposed upon connected equipment. 20
Angular alignment
The maximum angular alignment allowed for disc couplings is dependent on the number of bolts connected to the blades. The assembly limits are as shown in the product sections that follow, but these should be considered to be maximums and every effort should be made to reduce them to an absolute minimum.
Installation procedure
1. Reference any applicable drawings for sizes and dimensions. Ensure that all the required tools and equipment are available. 2. Inspect the coupling for any indication of deviation from specification to ensure that it conforms to requirements. 3. For balanced couplings, note any match markings, which must be aligned when the coupling is installed. 4. Fit the appropriate hubs to the driver and driven shafts ensuring that the shaft ends are flush with the flange faces of the hubs. For interference fits the hubs can be heated up to 180C in oil bath or oven. (Avoid spot heating and do not exceed the recommended temperature). 5. Check the shafts (hubs) misalignments and DBSE (distance between shaft ends) are within the allowable limits. (See tables on the following pages). 6. For D-Type couplings:a. Assemble the centre section of the coupling (spacer and element assemblies). b. Tighten coupling bolts and nuts using the correct procedure. 7. For DJ-Type couplings:a. The transmission unit (TU) should be factory assembled and need not be disturbed. b. Undo the installation screws and measure the length in free state, which should be the same as the measured distance between the flange faces of the hubs. c. Re-install the installation screws and compress each element assembly to the following figures by tightening the screws to enable the unit to be inserted between the hubs.
Coupling Size Element Gap Free State Compressed Coupling Size Element Gap Free State Compressed
Parallel offset
Parallel offset is not available with single element disc couplings (Type DS). Where the coupling has two elements the offset is a function of the allowable angular misalignment and the distance between the centres of the element assemblies. The offsets on assembly should be kept to an absolute minimum. For details, see the product sections which follow. Note: As angular misalignment and parallel offset result in the same angular disposition of opposing flanges, these should be measured together. The product sections show two sets of figures. The angular misalignment is illustrated as mm of gap variation per mm of flange diameter and an actual gap variation in mm at the periphery of the flange. Either method will measure the misalignment successfully. Where more than one element assembly is present, as applies to all except DS types, these instructions apply to each element.
d. Position the TU between the hubs ensuring all the relevant match marks and attachment screw holes are aligned. The unit should be supported to ensure that the weight is not imposed on the joint during assembly. e. Insert attachment screws in position and release the installation screws carefully and evenly, making sure that the pilots and recesses are properly seated. Note: do not torque tighten the attachment screws before removing the installation screws. Store the tooling for future use. f. Torque tighten the attachment screws using the correct procedure. 8. Inspect the installed coupling to ensure that all the fasteners are fully tightened and all the components are free from damage or deformities before starting the machines. Slight bowing or S like distortion of the laminations is not detrimental to the operation of the unit. 21
The following procedure is a general recommended guideline for installation of the coupling.
Maintenance
On the whole, Bibby Turboflex couplings do not require any maintenance. However, it is recommended that the following checks be carried out annually. 1. Axial and parallel misalignment to ensure that these are still within the acceptable limits of the coupling and that no major machinery movement has occurred. 2. All bolts, nuts and screws to ensure they are still correctly tightened. 3. Flexible elements, by visual inspection, for signs of fatigue cracking local to the washer anchor points, or general signs of fretting corrosion. Slight bowing or S like distortion of the laminations is not detrimental to the operation of the unit.

Balanced couplings
The fasteners supplied with the balanced couplings are matched sets and must not be mixed or substituted. Balanced couplings are match marked (normally on major flanges) and must be assembled with mating match marks aligned. When refurbishing the fasteners of a balanced coupling, the whole set must be replaced by balance-weighed parts. As an aid to on-site balancing (a procedure which is always recommended), tapped holes are provided in the hub flanges for the addition of balance weights.

In the case of plug-in type DJ units, locations between the hubs and adaptors are by registers. To install or remove, the central section of the coupling must be compressed sufficiently to clear the length of the register. The DJ coupling will be supplied with the installation screws (not shown) to crush or compress the flexible elements sufficiently for this purpose. These screws must be removed completely before the operation of the unit.
Coupling Bolts (Component No.7) will already have been correctly tightened and under no circumstances should the assembly be broken down or disturbed in any way.

Application
BIBBY ECL Coupling Grease is an NLGI 1 grade lithium grease containing a special high viscosity base oil. Its superior resistance to oil separation makes it suitable for all types of flexible couplings as defined by AGMA Coupling Grease specifications CG1, CG2 and CG3. Common grease lubricated couplings include: couplings that have internal and external spur gears Geared (teeth) that mesh within a common rotating hub connecting the hubs. Grid resilient couplings, which have a convoluted band Steel of flexible spring steel that physically links the hubs together. chain couplings that have a roller chain that meshes Flexible with a sprocket machined in each hub.
Caution
not use BIBBY ECL Coupling Grease for low speed Do applications where an NLGI 0 General Purpose Grease would normally be specified. (Generally below 180 m/min at the pitch diameter of the gear teeth). Do not use BIBBY ECL Coupling Grease in a coupling that is operating in the Food Processing Industry or for the lubrication of Bearings.
Benefits
Resistance to centrifugal separation extends relubrication frequency. High load carrying capacity resistance to water washing. Stays in place at high speeds provides corrosion and rust protection. Minimises coupling wear reduces downtime and maintenance costs. Usable at temperatures up to 162C one grease for all coupling types.
Timken OK Load > 18Kg Base oil viscosity 150 Cst at 40C Dropping point > 150C Temperature range -10C to +110C Additives extreme pressure with rust and oxidation inhibitors that do not corrode steel or swell or deteriorate nitrile seals
Resilient Couplings
NGLI 2 for catalogue speed range.
It is important to realise that the above lubricant specification was originally developed for bearing applications and therefore has lower base oil viscosity and higher bleed rates than are desirable for the unique conditions of high centrifugal forces and sliding contact that exist within a flexible coupling.
