20、ally applies toother types of lubricated couplings.- gear couplings;- chain couplings;- metallic grid couplings.Some types of flexible couplings do not requirelubrication.1.2 Types of lubricantsThetypesoflubricantsforflexiblecouplingscoveredin this standard are:- oils;- greases.NOTE: Correct lubrica
21、tion can minimize wear, but it isnot a substitute for correct alignment.1.3 Lubrication methods and practicesThe flexible coupling lubrication methods andpractices covered in this standard are:- Self-contained lubricant. In this categorylubricants can be oils or greases.- Externally supplied lubrica
22、nt. In this catego-ry, the couplings can be continuously suppliedwith oil at a specified flow rate, be dip lubricated,submerged in oil, or intermittently lubricated withoil that is replenished periodically.1.4 Application limitations1.4.1 Food and drug industryThe lubricants covered by this standard
23、 are notrecommended for food and drug industry applica-tions where contact with the product beingmanufactured may occur. The user must assumethe responsibility for selecting the proper lubricantfor all food and drug industry applications.1.4.2 ExperienceCoupling manufacturers recommendations mayvary
24、 for a specific application based on experience.1.4.3 CoolingThis standard does not apply to couplings where anoil flow is provided solely for cooling purposes.2 Normative referencesThe following standards contain provisions which,throughreferenceinthistext,constituteprovisionsofthis American Nation

Thisshould be done at regular intervals as suggested bythe coupling manufacturer or coupling greasemanufacturer, or more of
33、ten as indicated by experi-ence. It is desirable to disassemble and cleancouplings periodically to rid them of foreign materialand to check moving parts for wear. The couplingsare completely disassembled and all the parts arewashed in a solvent. After they are dry they arecarefully inspected to see
34、that all foreign particlesare removed and that wearing parts are in goodcondition. Thecoupling,withwornpartsreplacedasnecessary, is then lubricated per 3.1.1 or 3.1.2.3.3 Separation problemsThe elements of a grease, namely the base oil, thethickeners, and the additives are subject to separa-tion due
35、 to centrifugal force generated by couplingrotation. The method used to minimize centrifugalseparation is to equalize, as closely as possible, thespecific gravity of all these elements.

49、 or design, is afunction of coupling size, transmitted power, andspeed of rotation. Two basic design features areinfluential in determining the oil flow:- Incouplingsincorporatinganoilexitdam,theoilflowisdeterminedbythecoolingrequirements;- In couplings without an oil exit dam, the oilflow must be large enough to ensure flooding ofthecouplingteethorotherworkingsurfaces.
