Replacing the Elastomer Coupling or Clamping Set (Optional Equipment)

Overview

An elastomer coupling is used when the motor of the Lexium EAC1-Series is driven directly. The elastomer coupling consists of two clamping hubs and one elastomer spider.

A clamping set is used when the motor of the Lexium EAC1-Series is driven by a belt drive. The clamping set consists of self-locking devices and belt pulleys.

UNINTENDED MOVEMENTS DUE TO DISMOUNTING

Secure the moving parts of the actuator mounted in a vertical or tilted position against unexpected movements.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Prerequisites

You need the following tools to replace the elastomer coupling or clamping set:

oSet of hex keys
