Misalignment and End FloatType T (Page 1 of 2)

Maximum life and minimum maintenance for the coupling andconnected machinery will result if couplings are accuratelyaligned. Coupling life expectancy between initial alignment andmaximum iperating limits is a function of load, speed, andlubrication. Maximum iperatingvalues listed on Page 2 are based

on catalogued allowable rpm.Values listed in the table herein are based upon the use of thegaps listed , standard components, standard assemblies, andcatalogued allowable speeds.

Values may be combined for an installation or operating

condition. Static limits are extremes and cannot be combined.

Note: For applications requiring greater misalignment, referapplication details to the Factory.Angular misalignment is the dimension X minus Y as illustratedbelow.

Parallel misalignment is the distance P between the hub centerlines as illustrated below.

End float (with zero angular and parallel misalignment) is theaxial movement of the hub(s) within the cover(s) measured from0 gap.
