During installation the two shafts must be aligned with radial, axial and angular deviations kept within the allowed range. Interference-fit parts should be mounted by heating or hydraulic methods, and the bolts tightened evenly to the specified torque so that no uneven loading occurs.

Drum gear couplings play a key role in mechanical drive systems; the GICL type is chosen across many industries for its high load capacity and good compensation performance, and is a common component on OEM machines.

For a sound selection, combine the speed, torque class and space constraints of the installation, and verify the choice against sample data and compensation curves before ordering.

Overall, the right size chosen against torque, speed and misalignment, kept well lubricated and sealed, will deliver its rated capacity and a long working life.
