Geislinger coupling
Engine type This Operating Instruction concerns WRTSIL Vasa 32, 32LN,
WRTSIL 32DF and 34SG engines equipped with a Geislinger C-type oil
filled coupling.

General The Geislinger coupling is filled with oil that serves as a damping medium.
Experience has shown that the oil level needs to be checked every 500-
1000 operating hours. The oil must be changed the first time at 1000
operating hours and then at every 5000 operating hours to ensure correct
function of the coupling. Please see the Geislinger instruction manual and
engine instruction manual chapter 04.

Oil quality Normally, any high quality engine oil will perform well in the coupling. Use
e.g. Shell Rimula 15W-40. However, under difficult operating conditions
normal oil may deteriorate too fast. It should then be replaced by Klber
G-E 45 special oil, which is available from Geislinger service stations.
When replacing ordinary oil with Klber oil, the coupling must be dismantled
and carefully cleaned. In couplings originally filled with Klber, no other oil
than Klber should be used when topping up or changing the oil.

Modification It is also possible to modify the coupling to be lubricated by the engine oil,
thus eliminating the need for checking the oil level and changing the oil in
the coupling. Contact your Wrtsil Service station for more details.

2. Transport and storage

The original conservation and packing includes :


All metal parts inhibited against corrosion,
coupling wrapped in a rust inhibiting paper (BRANOROST),
sealed in a polyethylene sheet,
packed in a softwood case or on a pallet.
Note that the package may include some loose parts which must not be thrown away accidently!

For transport the coupling should be lifted together with its packing, e.g. with a fork lift.

Products which are kept in their original, undamaged packing, in a room with a normal humidity, can
be stored for the length of the works guarantee.

Once a product is removed from the packing or its packing is damaged it should either be fitted into
the installation within the next 100 hours or it must be repacked.

N O T E : Do not stack GEISLINGER-products on top of each other, or stack other objects on top of
them.

3. Activities prior to installation

3.1. Unpacking
N O T E : Loose parts which are enclosed in the package must not be thrown away with the packing
material (e.g. bolts, seal rings, lifting appliances, etc...).

Check coupling for any damage possibly incurred during transport.

Mount lifting appliances (730) as required. Clean surface underneath them before mounting.

Put the coupling to an upright position, with center line horizontal. Adhere to lifting instructions on
GEISLINGER assembly drawing.

Remove all transport conservation from coupling outer surfaces,especially from joint flange faces
(e.g. WIGODUR).
use paraffin or thinners,
do not damage or scratch surfaces during cleaning.

GB 273 EN 1997-12-23 03 5

Check that all oil drillings in cover plate (11) are open and not blocked off by any objects (e.g.
adhesive tapes).

All packaging materials used can either be recycled or burned.

The polyethylene folia leaves no residues or dangerous gases or vapors when burned. Branorost
paper can be disposed for burning with normal garbage.

Safety specification sheets for every packing material used by GEISLINGER are available on
request.

3.2. Lifting of coupling


To accommodate lifting devices (eye bolts etc.) a number of tapped holes are provided (see
symbols on GEISLINGER-assembly drawing).

Use only the lifting appliances (730) which are delivered with the coupling.

In any case, the lifting devices which are used must be strong enough to carry the manipulated
weights with the required safety.

Always lift the product at two points at the same time, with the best possible equal load distribution.

The total weight as well as the weight of single main components are stated on the GEISLINGER
assembly drawing.

Store all lifting appliances (730) for later re-use.

3.3. Shaft alignment


The adjoining shafts which will be connected to the coupling outer and inner member are to be
aligned such that any possibly occurring radial, axial or angular shaft movement does not exceed
the given values which can be compensated by the coupling.

The values for parallel (Kr) and angular (Kw) capacity and their combination are stated in a
misalignment diagram on the assembly drawing.

Radial movements of engine and gear casings due to heat expansion are to be considered.

The best possible alignment should be achieved at service temperature, or at the one condition
which is run the most.

The tolerance for the axial setting of the coupling is preferably "central position" plus 1 mm. The
"central position" is shown and dimensioned on the assembly drawing.

N O T E :The misalignment capacity of a coupling must not be seen as a wide tolerance allowance for
the static shaft setting. It is mainly meant to allow a maximum of movements appearing during dynamic
(service) conditions.
Bad shaft setting impairs the dynamic misalignment

4. Installation of coupling.

4.1. Shaft connections:


ATTENTION!
The coupling must not be filled with oil during installation !

Preparation of the coupling befor mounting onto the free shaft end.

Remove one of the screws item 756


Heat up coupling inner star item 9 with a suitable device, e. g. a heating blanket or a propane gas
burner with an annular inductor.
Heat up inner star item 9 that the coupling can be mounted without problems onto the free shaft
end. Do not exceed the maximum permissible heating temperature of 120 C.

NOTE
Cooling down of the free shaft end reduces the required heating temperature for the inner star
item 9. This can be advantageous.

ATTENTION!
Overheating of O-rings item 850 and 855 can cause damages on the O-rings and in cause
leakage of the coupling
This can reduce the service life time of the coupling, loss of the guarantee and can cause
damage to the machinery !

Mount the coupling onto the free shaft end.

Let the coupling (inner star item 9) cool down to ambient temperature.

Mount outer member of coupling to engine side shaft. The connection bolts in flange plate(5) as well
as the appropriate tightening information are of customers supply.

Remove all lifting appliances (730) from the coupling as well as any other auxiliary devices which
may have been used during installation. Store these tools for later re-use.

GB 273 EN 1997-12-23 03 8

4.2. Filling the coupling with oil


Fill the coupling only with the coupling oil as specified in the oil specification (see chapter 6.3.2) !

ATTENTION!
The usage of another oil specification or another oil producer can impair the function of the coupling!
This can reduce the service life time of the coupling, loss of the guarantee and can cause damage to the
machinery
Use only the coupling oil as specified in the oil specification (see chapter 6.3.2) !

NOTE
Warm up coupling oil to 40 C before filling the coupling with oil !
Rotate the coupling until the open screw item 756 ( see assembly dwg. ) is in top ( 12 oclock)
position

Remove the second screw item 756 of the upper coupling half.

Provide the oil filling amount as stated on the assembly drawing with a measuring tray.
(The coupling oil must be preheated to 40 C)

Fill up the coupling through the top hole with the provided oil filling amount slowly and uniformly.

Wait min. 15 minutes until the oil distributes uniformly in the lower coupling half

Re-fill the coupling with oil through the top hole until oil is leaking out of the lateral hole

Clean contact surfaces around both oil filling holes carefully. The surface must be free of dirt

Plug both holes with item 756 and copper washer according to the instructions as stated on the
assembly drawing

4.3. Coupling under load


Check if all lifting devices (eye bolts, etc.) have been removed before the coupling is put into
service.

For the first run of the coupling or after an exchange of spring packs (1) increase the load slowly.

Full load should not be applied before half an hour.

4.4. Check after first trial run.


Evidence of oil leakages; e.g. traces of oil (radial) on the lateral plate (7) resp. the flange plate (5)
indicates failure of the rubber seal ring (850).

Measure the alignment of the connecting shafts at working temperature.

5. Disassembly of the coupling

Provide tray for oil which is inside the coupling. See assembly drawing for amount of oil.

5.1. Removal of outer member.


Open all bolts in flange (5) and shift or remove the engine side shaft. Threads to force off the flanges
are provided. Mind axial protrusion of cover (12) when engine side shaft is taken out radially!

Turn coupling until one of the "filling screws" (756) is at the bottom (6 o' clock). Open this bottom
screw and another one (756) situated at the top halve and drain coupling.

Remove end plate (11) and cover (12) by removal of the appropriate bolts.

Mount lifting appliances (730) and support outer member. Withdraw outer member axially without
jerking.

5.2. Removal of inner member.


Do not dismount the innerstar (9) from the generator shaft unless it is to be replaced, e.g. because
of wear reasons.

The hardened groove flanks must not be exposed to temperatures of more than 200 Celsius as this
would result in a loss of hardness! (Valid in case of reuse only !)

5.3. Disassembly of outer member.


N O T E : Open main bolts only if necessary as this results in a loss of the concentricity setting of the
outer member. If it is still required, e.g. for a total spring inspection ....

Rest coupling onto flange plate (5) and remove main bolts (item 750).

Open all bolts (768) and remove retainer rings (21). This allows access to the L-rings (20) and O-
rings (853).

Take off lateral plate (7) and spring assembly (1,2,3). Tapped holes are provided accommodate
lifting devices (730).

At this stage a complete supervision of the coupling can be carried out. Further disassembly of the
outer member, e.g. to exchange spring packs (1), requires a special equipment and should be
carried out only at the manufacturers work or by a GEISLINGER service specialist (See supplement
for list of Geislinger service stations). A description of the disassembly and reassembly steps is
available and may be obtained upon request.

GB 273 EN 1997-12-23 03 10

5.4. Assembly of outer member


The procedure is the same as described for disassembly but in a reverse sequence. Additionally the following
points have to be considered carefully:

Clean every single part carefully before assembly.

Coat glide surfaces with MOLYKOTE 3484 (slide varnish), or equivalent.


Inside diameters of lateral plate (7) resp. flange plate (5) and contact surfaces between
L-rings (20) and lateral plate (7) resp. flange plate (5).
O-ring groove of the innerstar(9).

All outer surfaces of the innerstar (9) including the spring grooves must be rust protected with a thin
TECTYL-oil.

Grease all O-rings carefully and mount them without damage or injury.

Ensure correct direction of rotation for coupling. Spring packs (1) must be in same position as
shown on drawing to suit for the original sense of rotation.

Check spring unit for circularity. See chapter "Circularity of outer member".

Assure that inside diameters of side plate (7) spring unit (items 1,2,3) and flange plate (5) are
concentric after the main bolts (750) are tightened.
Tolerances for this concentricity will be stated upon request.

Use LOCTITE 275 (or equivalent) as a securing and sealing compound for all bolts (see assembly
drawing). The LOCTITE is to be applied to both sides of the appropriate spring washers.

Use tightening torques for bolts as stated on assembly drawing.


Major bolts, e.g. main bolts (750) have a value for a twist angle instead of a tightening torque. See
assembly drawing.
A T T E N T I O N : Values for tightening torques on Geislinger drawings are only valid if Loctite 275
has been applied to both sides of the spring washers!

All oil feed and oil return drillings must be clean and free of dirt.

5.5. Circularity of outer member


Check the divergence from the circularity at inside diameter of all intermediate pieces (2).

Correct circularity to the values below, prior to the assembly of the outer member.
Large couplings require the use of a hydraulic jack (see fig. 2).
Small couplings can be corrected with radial strikes onto the outside of the clamping ring(3),
using a soft faced hammer.

Take readings at top and bottom of opposite pairs of intermediate pieces (2).

Concentricity of inner diameter of all intermediate pieces(2) to be within :

up to size 56 max. 0,1 mm

6. Inspection and maintenance

6.1. Superficial inspection


Check for oil leakages by visible inspection whenever possible. Radial traces of oil on lateral plate
(7) resp. flange plate (5) may indicate a leakage from the main seal O-ring (850,853).

The oil level for oil filled couplings is to be checked every 500 to 1000 hours of service. Eventual
losses of oil are to be replaced. Top up oil level to "max." according to chapter 6.3.

6.2. Total inspection of coupling (coupling taken apart)


A total inspection of the coupling is required . . .

whenever demanded by a classification society,

every 18000 to 20000 hours of service.

An inspection of this kind requires an exchange of all O-rings which are accessible.

Parts which are exposed to wear may have to be refurbished or exchanged if required.

Regular inspection and supervision of the coupling allows for advanced planning
and the ordering of spare parts in time !

The following schedule shows the main intervals for coupling inspections.

Intervals in hours of service


Kind of inspection
500 - 1 000 18 000 - 20 000 40 000 - 60 000

7. Allowable wear

7.1. Rubber seal rings


Total wear must not exceed 5 % of the rope diameter "d" (see fig. 3).

Independent from wear all O-rings and gaskets must be replaced whenever the coupling is taken
apart.

Strictly use seamless O-rings for dynamic seals only! These rings are designated with "OR" in the
Geislinger part list.

Spliced O-rings (bonded) are allowed for most static seals. They are designated with "RS" in the
parts list.

0.05 x d

Use original Geislinger


spare parts only !

GB 273 EN 1997-12-23 03 17

Wear or deformation of the bronze shims (700) which are between the spring leaves is normal and
therefore no reason to service or to exchange the spring packs.

Spring packs must be replaced or refurbished as a complete set. Exchange of single spring packs is
not permissible.

The exchange of damaged or worn spring packs(1) or intermediate pieces (2) requires to dismount
and refit the clamping ring (3). A suitable hydraulic press, special tools and knowledge are required
for repairs of this kind. Such work should be carried out only at the manufacturer's workshop or by a
GEISLINGER service specialist.

7.3. Innerstar
The wear of the groove flanks must not exceed 1.0 mm (see fig. 5)

All groove flanks are surface hardened to a minimum of 56 HRC.

1.0 mm

fig. 5

Traces of wear on the outside diameter of the innerstar (9) indicate that it has been in contact with
the intermediate pieces (2) or the lateral plates (5,7) during service.
Check the shaft alignment and correct accordingly.

7.4. Lateral plate - flange plate


The wear at the contact surfaces of the O-rings (850) must not exceed 5% of the nominal O-ring
rope diameter ("d") as shown in fig. 3.
Contact surfaces can be either the inside diameter of the lateral plate (7) or flange plate (5) or
bushes inserted therein or an L-ring (20).

Visible but still acceptable wear grooves are to be smoothened with polishing paper before
reassembly.

In every condition the misalignment of adjoining shafts must remain within the stated capacity of the
coupling (see chapter 3.3 "Shaft alignment").

This type of couplings have a closed oil system (oil filled). The oil level inside must never sink below
"minimum". Running the coupling with maximum oil level is to be preferred.

Adhere check intervals as stated in chapter 6 and the oil change intervals acc. to chapter 6.3
