Brakes and Couplings
BRAKE HUB INSTALLATION
Brake hubs must be shrunk onto tapered motor shafts in order to achieve the tension and lockup
required for the torque values involved. The procedure described below is intended to develop
sufficient frictional force to transmit the imposed torque without dependence on the keyway.
1. Clean the bore and shaft to remove any deformity and foreign matter.
2. Install the cold hub onto the shaft
3. Measure the position of the hub on the shaft carefully. Measure from the end of the shaft to
the end of the hub.
4. Remove the hub.
5. Pre-heat the hub until the estimated temperature difference has been reached. Refer to
table below.
Hub Adapter Pre-Heat Advance Requirements
NOTE: This table makes reference to brake hubs only, motor coupling advance data appears
in a separate table later within this section.

Example:
If the shaft temperature = 25C (77F) and the estimated temperature difference from the
table is 100C (180F), the hub must be heated to 125C (257F) for mounting.
CAUTION: Brake Hub temperature should never exceed 190C (374F) for
installation.
CAUTION: PRE-HEATED COMPONENTS TEMPERATURES WILL OFTEN BE
HEATED TO TEMPERATURES THAT CAN BE EXTREMELY
HAZARDOUS. Use extreme care and always wear appropriate safety
equipment when working with or around pre-heated components.
6. Wipe all oil from both the shaft and the bore of the hub prior to installation.
7. Replace the heated hub on the shaft.
8. Take care to note the amount of advance (further movement) onto the shaft that has been
obtained. If the advance amount does not fall within the limits called out in the table it will be
necessary to remove the hub and re-heat it to the specified temperature. IN ALL
APPLICATIONS THE PROPER AMOUNT OF ADVANCE MUST BE ACHIEVED!
The taper fit between mating parts shall be checked at assembly with Dykem or Blueing to assure
a minimum of 80% bearing contact.
MOTOR COUPLING INSTALLATION
Motor couplings must be shrunk onto tapered motor shafts in order to transmit the torque values
involved without slippage. The procedure described below is intended to develop sufficient frictional
force to transmit the imposed torque without dependence on the keyway.
1. Clean the bore and shaft to remove any deformity and foreign matter.
2. Install the cold coupling onto the shaft
3. Measure the position of the coupling on the shaft carefully. Measure the distance from the
end of the coupling to the end of the shaft. The dimension derived during this step will be
used later.
4. Remove the coupling.
5. Pre-heat the item until the estimated temperature difference has been reached. Refer to
table below.

Motor Coupling Pre-Heat Advance Requirements
Example:
If the shaft temperature = 25C (77F) and the estimated temperature difference derived from
the table is 100C (180F), the coupling must be heated to 125C (257F) for mounting.
CAUTION: Pinion or Brake Coupling temperature should never exceed 190C
(374F) for installation.
CAUTION: PRE-HEATED COMPONENTS TEMPERATURES WILL OFTEN BE
HEATED TO TEMPERATURES THAT CAN BE EXTREMELY
HAZARDOUS. Use extreme care and always wear appropriate safety
equipment when working with or around pre-heated components.
6. Wipe all oil from both the shaft and the bore of the coupling prior to installation.
7. Replace the heated coupling hubs on the shaft.
8. Take care to note the amount of advance (further movement) onto the shaft that has been
obtained. If the advance amount does not fall within the limits called out in the table it will be
necessary to remove the coupling and re-heat it to the specified temperature. IN ALL
APPLICATIONS THE PROPER AMOUNT OF ADVANCE MUST BE ACHIEVED!
The taper fit between mating parts shall be checked at assembly with Dykem or Blueing to assure
a minimum of 80% bearing contact by marking during initial fit-up and comparing to actual fit after
assembly.

MOTOR COUPLING ALIGNMENT
Final alignment of direct-driven units is made by moving or shimming the unit so that misalignment
of the unit and drive shafts is within required tolerance from the general arrangement drawing
received with the machine. Misalignment can be either offset, angular, or a combination of both.
Misalignment can occur in both the vertical and the horizontal plane. Refer to the following
illustrations to bring couplings within the maximum acceptable misalignment.
The following method of coupling alignment uses a dial indicator. Readings taken 180 degrees
apart will measure the runout in one plane. It is important to rotate both shafts to avoid errors due
to surface imperfections of the shafts or couplings.
PARALLEL MISALIGNMENT
Checking for Parallel Misalignment
1. Mount the indicator on this coupling hub.
2. Take readings in the horizontal plane at 90 and 270 degree positions on the hub while turning
the shafts.
3. Correct offset misalignment in the horizontal plane by shifting inboard and outboard feet an
equal distance.
4. Take indicator readings in the vertical plane at 0 and 180 degree positions.
5. Correct offset misalignment in the vertical plane by adding or removing an equal thickness of
shims at each foot.

ANGULAR MISALIGNMENT
Checking for Angular Misalignment
1. Mount the indicator between the coupling hubs.
2. Measure the gap between the hubs at 90 and 270 degree positions.
3. Shift the outboard feet until coupling faces are parallel in the horizontal plane.
4. Take coupling readings at 0 and 180 degree positions.
5. Raise or lower the outboard feet with shims to parallel coupling faces in the vertical plane.

MISALIGNMENT EXAMPLES
Example of Parallel Misalignment
Example of Angular Misalignment
This condition is encountered often
after major repairs have been made
to a machine. To remedy this condition
approach the problem from one aspect
(either angular, or parallel) at a time.
Once close perform the procedure for
the other. Duplication of either, or both
processes may be required.
