CENTAX-L Rev. 2
016L-00050...00090-SS/FS/FF20
5 Alignment of the units being connected
IMPORTANT
 Align the units during the assembly.
 Align the units that are to be connected as accurately as possible. In this way, a
long service life for the coupling and maximum operating misalignment values can
be achieved.
The overall misalignment is composed of the misalignment and the operating
misalignment. The permissible overall misalignment values can be found in the
corresponding catalogue and must not be exceeded.
 All permissible alignment tolerances apply to arrangements at operating
temperatures.
If the arrangement would be aligned at a different temperature, there would be
additional deviations in the arrangement, which were produced by the difference
between the aligning and operating temperature.
For alignment, this has to be taken into account.
 After completion of assembly, check the alignment of the coupling again and if
necessary correct.

CENTAX-L Rev. 2
016L-00050...00090-SS/FS/FF20
5.1 Axial alignment

CENTAX-L Rev. 2
016L-00050...00090-SS/FS/FF20
5.2 Radial alignment
CAUTION
Material damage to elastically installed engines can occur as a
result of:
 Disregard to which extent the engine mounts may settle during
alignment
During vertical alignment, take into account the extent by which the
engine mounts settle. Please enquire about specifications for the
degree of settling from the engine manufacturer or engine mounts
manufacturer.
Measure the radial misalignment with a dial gauge (see Fig. 5-2).
 Attach the dial gauge to the hub.

 Set the sensor of the dial gauge radially against the centering.
 Turn the hub with dial gauge and hub slowly by 360°.
