The sum of the depths of the keyways must be greater than the thickness of the key by at least 0.010 . If any discrepancies exist, file the key thickness to provide a minimum of 0.010 clearance at the top of the key when the coupling is installed. If any portion of the key protrudes behind the coupling, it should be stepped so that the keyway in the shaft is filled but the key does not protrude out of the shaft behind the coupling. After all checks have been made and the key properly fitted and installed in the shaft, a gauge should be made 0.003 larger than the shaft diameter. This gauge can be made from a piece of welding rod tapered at the ends so that it fits nicely into the coupling (when hot) without giving a false indication. Bolt a stop bar across the face of the hub to prevent the hub from sliding too far on the shaft. A small drilled piece of flat bar bolted to the puller bolt holes serves this purpose. The coupling should be either heated in a controlled temperature oven with a heat ring or a heating blanket. If these methods are not available, the use of a large heating torch (preferably a rose bud) may be used, but is not recommended, due to personnel hazard and carbonization of the coupling in the hot oil. Heat the coupling uniformly until the gauge made fits freely into the coupling. Quickly install it on the shaft before the coupling cools. Allow the entire assembly to cool. An air stream directed on the coupling and shaft will speed the cooling process and prevent heat from spreading to the bearing or seal area. Never use water when the coupling or shaft are hot, since distortion may occur.

The Centac is normally equipped with a limited float, gear type coupling with a spacer between the driver and compressor shafts on motor driven units. Turbine driven units are supplied with the same type coupling without the limited float feature. "Float" of a coupling is typically referred to as the amount of axial movement allowed. The total axial float on motor driven units is limited to approximately 3/16". This limiting is accomplished by two phenolic discs. There is one phenolic disc located in each end of the coupling spool. During installation of the unit there are typically two alignment checks performed - rough alignment and final alignment. Rough alignment is performed for the purpose of leveling the unit in preparation for grouting. Rough alignment may be performed simply by the use of a good straight edge. It is important to insure the shafts are close to insure final alignment can be accomplished with minimal effort. Typically, rough alignment is satisfactory when the shafts are parallel and vertical offset is within 1/16". Final alignment is performed for the purpose of operation. Final alignment will be performed using the Reverse Indicator Alignment Method. When performing final alignment the distance between the shafts is determined from the information provided on the General Arrangement Drawing. On units with sleeve type bullgear bearings the bullgear must be positioned in the middle of the available axial float. A motor shaft must be positioned to allow operation on its' loaded magnetic center when coupled to the compressor. Typically magnetic center and mechanical center of a sleeve bearing motor are the same. Many motors use sleeve style bearings but without a thrust surface for controlling axial float. Motors with sleeve bearings typically have 1/2" axial float. NOTE: Be sure the bullgear anti-rotation bolt is removed.

Lock out and tag the starter panel breaker or the turbine steam supply block valve. Confirm the unit is properly leveled and grouted. Recheck the unit base bolts to insure they are tight. Check the driver feet and the driver base pads to insure they are clean and free of burrs. All shims must be clean and free of burrs. Stacks of shims of varying thickness are recommended for alignment. Whenever possible, replace stacks of thin shims with two or three thick shims to avoid spongy shim stacks. Insure the driver mounting bolts are of proper hardness. A grade 5 or higher strength bolt is recommended. Washers used with the mounting bolts are recommended to be at least 1/4" thick to prevent bending when the bolts are tightened. If not ordered with the original equipment jacking bolts should be installed to aid in horizontal alignment. The time involved to add jacking bolts is easily recovered by reducing the amount of time required for movement of the motor. The jacking bolts should be completely loose during final alignment readings. The indicator brackets must be designed to be rigid and bolted securely to the coupling hubs. Brackets which are not rigid will cause inaccurate readings and result in incorrect alignment. The oil should be warmed to 100-110F and circulating during alignment. The cooler casing supports on the CII design should be in contact with the cooler casing with the oil at 110F. On all models it is recommended to circulate water through the air and oil coolers.

With the readings recorded from step #6 calculate the amount of movement required, if any, to obtain the correct vertical alignment for the specific model Centac. The change is achieved by adding or removing shims from between the motor feet and motor base pads. Take another set of readings and record. Make corrections as necessary. This is commonly referred to as a "Cold Alignment". Once achieving the alignment desired the coupling can be assembled and the unit operated. Follow recommended assembly procedures for the specific coupling installed. Operate the unit for a minimum of 4 hours at full load. It is not always feasible to achieve full load operation during the initial test run. A condition as near to full load as possible is recommended. After completion of the minimum 4 hour operation at full load stop the compressor and recheck alignment. The readings recorded should be zero, or near zero. This is commonly referred to as "Hot Alignment". Once completing the Hot Alignment the driver should be doweled. When doweling a motor the use of tapered dowels with pulling nuts is recommended.

The coupling alignment chart is used to locate a specific model Centac which requires alignment before startup. The chart indicates alignment readings for specific model Centacs by total indicator reading (T.I.R.) and actual reading. The chart is specific for the reverse alignment procedure and indicates only vertical offset for motor driven units. Turbine alignment values should always be 0.000" vertical alignment with the compressor and turbine at operating temperature. All readings are "plus" dial indicator readings. "Plus" readings are obtained with the compressor indicator "zeroed" and the indicator pointer originating at the top of the compressor hub. The motor indicator is zeroed with the indicator pointer originating at the bottom of the motor hub. Model Number Compressor Hub T.I.R.

The distance between shaft dimension is obtained from the General Arrangement (G.A.) drawing. Always refer to the specific G.A. drawing for each compressor. Note: API units usually require a different alignment value. It is common for the driver for a API unit to be set low to the compressor. Typically a cold alignment of the driver low to the compressor 0.005" is normal. These units must have a hot alignment performed to make any necessary corrections before doweling of the motor.

Figure 9.6.1 Coupling Pulling Method Note: Quickly heat coupling hub to 300 to 400F (150-204C). Two oxy-acetylene torches with Rose Bud tips work best for rapid heating. Use one torch by sweeping over the keyway. The other sweeps on the bottom and sides. Turn the puller Pull Bolt to remove the coupling. Keep the flame off of the hub teeth.
DANGER !
SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER USE OF OXY-ACETYLENE TORCHES. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND HIGH TEMPERATURE GLOVES WHEN REMOVING COUPLING WITH FLAME TORCHES.
