For drives subject to torsional vibrations (drives with cyclic stress due to torsional vibrations) it is necessary to perform a torsional vibration calculation to ensure a reliable selection. Typical drives subject to torsional vibrations are e. g. drives with piston pumps, piston compressors etc. If requested, KTR will perform the coupling selection and the torsional vibration calculation.
Unless explicitly ordered differently, the coupling is supplied with preservation and may be stored in a dry and roofed place for a period of up to 3 months. In case of a longer storage period please consult with KTR. 3.2 Storage of O-rings Proper storage conditions increase the service life of O-rings.

The customer bears the sole responsibility for all machining processes performed subsequently on unbored or pilot bored as well as finish machined coupling components and spare parts. KTR does not assume any warranty claims resulting from insufficient remachining. KTR supplies unbored or pilot bored coupling components and spare parts only upon explicit request of the customer.
With each reassembly of the coupling we recommend to replace the flat gasket (component 5) and the dowel screws (component 3) as well as nuts (component 4). Drawn: 2019-09-19 Pz/Wb Replacing: KTR-N dated 2017-01-02 Please observe protection note ISO 16016. Verified: 2019-09-19 Pz...
