Title
Flexible Couplings-Lubrication
American Gear Manufacturers Association
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1997
Scope:
Types of flexible couplings
This standard covers the lubrication of the following types of
flexible couplings and generally
applies to other types of lubricated couplings.
- gear couplings;
- chain couplings;
- metallic grid couplings.
Some types of flexible couplings do not require lubrication.
Types of lubricants
The types of lubricants for flexible couplings covered in this
standard are:
- oils;
- greases.
NOTE: Correct lubrication can minimize wear, but it is not a
substitute for correct alignment.
Lubrication methods and practices
The flexible coupling lubrication methods and practices covered in
this standard are:
- Self-contained lubricant. In this category lubricants can be oils or
greases.
- Externally supplied lubricant. In this category, the couplings can
be continuously supplied with
oil at a specified flow rate, be dip lubricated, submerged in oil, or
intermittently lubricated
with oil that is replenished periodically.
Application limitations
Food and drug industry
The lubricants covered by this standard are not recommended for food
and drug industry applications
where contact with the product being manufactured may occur. The user
must assume the
responsibility for selecting the proper lubricant for all food and
drug industry applications.
Experience
Coupling manufacturer's recommendations may vary for a specific
application based on experience.
Cooling
This standard does not apply to couplings where an oil flow is
provided solely for cooling
purposes.
