1. INSTALLATION
a. Refer to the RB Coupling Assembly Instructions (page 4).
18 19 b. Slide motor hub onto shaft.

specified before putting hub onto shaft.
d. Bolt Rigid Hub (1-18) to the Module Carrier Plate (1-2). Using qty.
17 12, M10 x 40 S.H.C.S. (1-7). Torque tighten to 40 lb-ft.
e. Dial indicate coupling misalignment max tolerance, Angular
.003”/.002”, Radial .002”/.003”. If misalignment is beyond
tolerance, realign.

2. TORQUE ADJUSTMENT & INITIAL STARTUP

a. These torque limiters were preset at the factory, no further
adjustment is required at this time.
b. If it is desired to adjust the release torque at a later date, refer to #5
“Torque Adjustment”.

3. RESETTING
On overload, the Safety Element Ball is displaced and the Module
Carrier Plate disengages from the Detent Pocket Plate. With the drive
at rest (the power off) and the overload cleared, align the two reset
arrows (or grooves) on the Detent Pocket Plate and Module Carrier
4 3 15 2 Plate by turning the drive motor shaft by hand. After aligning the
1 20 12 16 match marks strike the safety element plunger shroud with a soft
mallet and the plunger will move back into the safety element 1/4 inch
signifying that the unit is engaged.

 RB COUPLING INSTALLATION

MOUNT HUBS TO SHAFTS

KEYED SHAFTS...
The coupling is supplied in a loosely assembled condition along with assembly instructions and
silicone fluid. After installation, the instructions should be passed on to the end user. Completely
disassemble the coupling. If the coupling has limitied end float pads (blue or white circular pads
located in the inner member of the coupling) remove them. Check the shaft diameters and
coupling bores against the drawings.

CAUTION!
Unless a split cover is supplied with the coupling, fit
the cover over the shaft before fitting the inner mem-
ber to the shaft.

Heat the hub to 250oF in either an oil bath or oven. Lift

the hub from the heating device either by using steel
lifting chains wrapped around the blades of the inner
member or by using steel chains and shackles in-
serted through the bolt holes (take care not to damage
the surface of these holes). Handle hot compo-
nents with extreme care. Make sure that the lifting
chains hold the hub securely. (Do not use lifting
equipment rated at less than the weight of the
hubs).

With the key in place in the shaft, fit the hub to the shaft.
The end face of the inner member or drive flange
should be flush with the end of the shaft unless other-
wise specified on the drawing.

KEYLESS FITS...
Specific instructions are supplied with couplings which
have high interference keyless fits. Please refer to
these instructions when mounting the hubs.

 RB COUPLING INSTALLATION

FITTING THE RUBBER ELEMENTS

The rubber elements may be fitted either before or after the coupling flange is bolted up. All RB
couplings have 1 rubber element in each cavity.

Refit the limited end float pads, if supplied (circular blue or white buttons). Place the outer member
of the coupling over the inner member. Set the axial position of the outer member relative to the
inner member. The outer member should be centered axially over the inner member. Fit the rubber
elements in the sequence shown in the diagram below.

FITTING SEQUENCE...

To ease installation of the rubber

elements, silicone fluid should
be used as a lubricant. Use a
fluid which has a viscosity be-
tween 1000 and 3000 cs (such
as Dow Corning 200 Fluid),con-
1 2 3 tainers. Brush each rubber element
and the cavities of the couplings
with the fluid before inserting the
rubber elements.

BOLTING UP FLANGES
At this stage, all the rubber blocks should be in place and the driving and driven machinery
should be brought together with the correct gap between the ends of the shafts. The shaft end
gap is shown on the drawing and in the table below.

ALIGNMENT
The following section describes how to verify that the alignment of the coupling is sufficient to
prevent premature deterioration of the rubber elements. Note that the values given in the table
are in inches.

AXIAL ALIGNMENT....
Use a straight edge held on face “A” and a depth gage to measure the distance between faces
“A” and “B”. Check the measurement with the allowable values given in the table.

To inspect the rubber elements, unbolt the cover of the coupling so that the faces of the rubber
blocks can be seen. It is not necessary to remove the rubber elements from the couplings. The
rubber elements should be replaced if any of the following are found:

Deep cuts, over 10% of the width of the rubber elements.

Rubber elements which are loose in their cavities.

Rubber elements with cracked or sticky surfaces.

Large amounts of rubber dust and an impression of the coupling inner member on the cover
are signs of excessive misalignment.

ORDERING OF REPLACEMENT PARTS

BOLTS
Quote reference number and quantity shown in parts list on drawing. If no drawing is available,
quote the size of the coupling (eg. RB 1.15).

RUBBER ELEMENTS
Various types of rubber elements are available for each coupling size. The type of element that
you have can be identified by a round colored sticker which is molded into each rubber element.
When ordering replacement rubber elements, specify the color of this sticker (eg. blue or
green) and the number printed on it (eg. 60, 70, 80).

HUBS
To ensure that you recieve the correct bore in your replacement hub, always refer to the
order number printed on the drawing and the part number of the hub.
