REX OMEGA COUPLINGS
INSTALLATION...AS SIMPLE AS PEELING AN ORANGE

Install and secure both hubs to the shaft using a half element as a template for proper hub spacing. Using the capscrews provided, mount the top half element. Rotate the shaft 180° and install the other half element. Mount half elements side-to-side if the shaft cannot be rotated. Check the capscrews for proper installation torque and you're done. Element replacement does not require moving the hubs or connected equipment.


E3/Testing

Severe static testing (5 x rating) shows element flexibility, rugged design, and positive adhesive bond to the metal shoes.

Tested Tough
Rigorous testing demonstrates that the Rex Omega coupling protects connected equipment from the damaging effects of misalignment, vibration, and gross overload. Where other coupling designs might allow equipment damage, the super flexible element of Rex Omega couplings minimizes the reactionary forces on equipment bearings under severe misalignment conditions and reduces the effects of excessive shock overloads. 		E3/Severe

Demonstrates coupling's ability to accept severe misalignment.

NOTE: Capscrews have self-locking patches which should not be reused more than twice. Capscrews can be further used if a thread locking adhesive is applied.
Do NOT Lubricate Capscrew Threads
Note:
Any combination of parallel and angular misalignment which falls under the triangle will not cause a premature fatigue failure of the flexible element in normal use. 		Important Note:
Coupling alignment is directly related to smooth, efficient equipment operation. Care should be taken for best possible alignment.
