The disengagement torque is generally between approximately 40% and 100% of the nominal torque ofthe coupling and is steplessly adjustable. If the customer does not specify a setting value, the setting is done at the maximum torque (nominal torque). The set, static disengagement torque can be adjusted (on themachine) if necessary at a later date by turning the adjusting nut with a pin wrench. Adjusting nuts are provided with a user friendly scale; the disengagement torque, and the reference marks for Tmin and Tmax, are engra- ved on the face side of the adjusting nut to facilitate setting. Greater disengagement torques greater than Tmax are possible (on request); through this results a stronger wear of the disengagement mechanic.

Caution!

Due to the degressive spring characteristic within the setting range, a turning back (counter clockwise) of the adjusting nut means an increase, or a turning in clockwise direction means a reduction of the disengagement torque! (See direction arrow at clamping nut)

Series SKG

Setting marking for disengagement torque

Unscrew retaining screw (see detail Z) completely; turn adjusting nut with pin wrench; after adjustment secure the adjustment nut against turning by drilling and tightening the self tapping screw.

Series SKB/SKX-L

Setting scale for disengagement torque:

Release retaining screw. Turn adjusting nut with pin wrench (note reference mark); tightening retaining screw onhub after setting the required disengagement torque. Setting can be done by turning the hub with scale till the torque value to be set is in line with the reference mark. In mounted status the clamping screw must be released and after setting the disengagement torque it has to be fastened again.
