1 GENERAL
There is a flexible coupling (figure 1 and figure 2) between the primary shaft of the hoisting motor and the
hoisting gear. The hubs equipped with coupling claws move the motor torque onto the hoisting gear by
means of the toothed elastic element, which allows small angular, radial and axial misalignments.

2.2 Inspection
Unload the hook and leave it hanging suspended by ropes. Due to the load torque of the hook block, every
second tooth of 8 teeth of the elastic element is loaded. Measure the air gap s between the unloaded tooth
and the coupling claw, through the inspection hole situated in the coupling box. If the air gap s is bigger than
1 mm or there are breaks at tooth ends of the elastic element, the elastic element shall be changed
(figure 3).
