When It Comes To Coupling Maintenance, Attention To Detail Is Key. Depending on the style of coupling, putting in extra time to get it right is crucial to getting maximum life and performance. For example, insert and elastomeric type couplings require little to no maintenance and their condition can be visually inspected or viewed mid-operation with a strobe. However, grid and gear couplings require additional steps during routine maintenance to maximize the coupling’s life and performance.
The following is important when doing maintenance on couplings:
