3.Push the motor up to the driven machine. To allow the motor to be correctly aligned, the feet should be adjusted by
means of shims or foil plates. Locking plates and adjusting bolts on the foundations are an advantage for sideward
adjustment.

With multiplemotor drives, the oil fillings of the different turbocouplings must be matched so as to obtain proper load
distribution.
Warning!
The load matching check should still be made even when the motors used are identical and the same
turbocouplingsareused(duetotolerancecharacteristics).
5/15
12/7/2016
Suchloaddistributioncanbestbeachievedbyconnectinganammeterinserieswitheachmotor.Should
the readings on the ammeters differ, the oil fillings should be corrected until each motor draws approximately the same
currentfromthemains.
Pleasenote:
A sufficiently sized oil catch pan should be placed underneath the turbo coupling for filling and draining, to prevent that oil
getsinthesoil.
Commissioning
Note:Whenswitchingofftheunit,donottouchtheturbocouplingwithoutprotectingyourhands,sinceitmaybehot.
Figure16
The turbo couplings can principally be driven in either direction. When the installation is switched on for the first time it is
important to cheek that the coupling runs in the direction required by the installation. When using a turbo coupling, the
squirrelcage motor is usually switched on directly. If the capacity of the mains supply makes a stardelta starting circuit
necessarythentheswitchoverfromstartodeltamustbemadeasrapidlyaspossible,atthelatestafter3seconds.

Only original sealing rings in perfect condition, and which are not deformed should be used for filling and fusible plugs.

Maintenance
When the requirements for size, installation, alignment and filling have all been correctly complied with, then Voith Turbo
couplingsrequirevirtuallynomaintenanceandrequirevirtuallynooperationalsupervision.
Thetemperatureishighlydependentonthelocaloperatingconditions(numberofstarts,massbeingacceleratedandambient
temperature) and when in continuous operation the temperature should not exceed 85 deg C (185 deg F). To provide good
cooling conditions the ventilation of the turbo coupling must not be hindered by closed surface protective guards. We
recommendthatallguardsbeconstructedfromexpandedmetalorperforatedmetalsheet.
Forreasonsofdemonstration,thephotosinthissectiondonotshowanyguards.
Aregularoilchangeisnotnecessary.Dependingonthethermalstresstowhichtheoilissubjected,thesameoilfilling may
be used for several years. We recommend however, that the oil be checked for ageing after approximately 15,000 hours of
operation,andchangedifnecessary.

Dismantling:
Drain the oil out of the coupling. When the parts have been marked and the peripheral screws have been
removed, the primary wheel and the casing can be removed. To prevent damage to the sealing surfaces, the
removalshouldnotbemadewiththeaidofchisels,orscrewdriversorsimilartools.Onlypullingscrewsmaybe

METHOD1
Immediatelyafterinstallationanddeterminationofcorrectoilfillingasexplainedabove,proceedasfollows:
1.1.Locatetheoilsightglassandrotatethecouplingupwardsuntilthesightglasschangescolour.(Darktolight).
1.2.Slowlyrotatethecouplingintheoppositedirection(downwards)untilthesightglassagainchangescolour

This method necessitates the use of "OIL FILLING CONTROL TABLES", available from Surtees and Son (Pty)
Limited.

Fornineboltsbetweenfusibleplugandverticalaxis,thecorrespondingoilfillingis30litres.

Forsevenboltsthecorrespondingoilfillingis37litres.
NOTE:The method described above is not very accurate, therefore, pay careful attention to the procedure to ensure that the results are not too
inaccurate.
