InstallationMount one hub to shaft, leave otherhub loose for adjustment of spacing.Place half of the <strong>Rex</strong>nord ® <strong>Omega</strong> ®element around hubs and secure withself-locking capscrews. <strong>Omega</strong>element will space the other hub.Now secure the other hub.Mount other half of the <strong>Omega</strong>element. Tighten all capscrews torecommended torques below andyou’re done! Refer to the installationinstruction for further details.Severe static testing (5 × rating)shows element flexibility, ruggeddesign and positive adhesivebond to the metal shoes.Angular4°3°2°1°0°Size 2-10<strong>Omega</strong> ® CouplingAllowable MisalignmentSize 20-50OMEGAHUBSize 60-80Tested ToughRigorous testing demonstrates thatthe <strong>Rex</strong>nord <strong>Omega</strong> coupling protectsconnected equipment from the damagingeffects of misalignment, vibration andgross overload. Where other couplingdesigns might allow equipmentdamage, the super flexible element of<strong>Rex</strong>nord <strong>Omega</strong> couplings minimizesthe reactionary forces on equipmentbearings under severe misalignmentconditions and reduces the effectsof excessive shock overloads.ParallelOMEGAHUBOMEGAHUBSize 100-140AngularOMEGAHUB1/32 1/16 3/32 1/8 3/16ParallelNote:Any combination of parallel and angular misalignment which falls under the trianglewill not cause a premature fatigue failure of the flexible element in normal use.Demonstrates coupling’s ability toaccept severe misalignment.- Important-Recommended Capscrew TourqueFor Proper InstallationCoupling Torque - DrySize In.
