FLEXIDYNE Trouble Analysis

Symptom		Cause		Cure
Vibration	1. Misalignment		1.	Realign drive or coupling.
	2.	Bent shaft	2.	Replace or straighten.
	3.	Excess flow charge	3.	Remove small amount of flow charge.
	4.	Fused flow charge	4.	Correct the overload.
	5.	Improper installation – Output shaft jammed	5.	Readjust spacing between shafts and
		against housing		FLEXIDYNE.
Erratic Acceleration	1. Breakdown of flow charge		1.	Replace flow charge.
	2.	Caked flow charge	2.	Moist environment – use stainless flow
				charge.
FLEXIDYNE Doesn’t Slip	1. Improper installation – Output shaft jammed		1.	Readjust spacing between shafts and
		against housing		FLEXIDYNE.
	2.	Flow charge in bearings – causing bearing	2.	Replace seals, bearings and flow charge
		seizure		or replace FLEXIDYNE.
Excessive Slippage	1. Not enough flow charge		1.	Add flow charge.
	2.	Overload	2.	Relieve overload.
	3.	Worn flow charge	3.	Replace flow charge.
	4.	Worn rotor	4.	Replace rotor.
Poor or short flow charge life	1. Excessive slip at start up		1.	Add flow charge to reduce starting time.
	2.	Excessive inching or jogging of machine	2.	Install time delay in motor control circuit.

FLEXIDYNE Flow Charge Analysis

	Condition		Cause
1.	Red oxide color, granular consistency	1.	Normal after some usage.
2.	Red oxide color, powdery consistency, possibly with	2.	Worn-out, can cause FLEXIDYNE
	powdery flakes		damage.
3.	Black, powdery	3.	Rotor worn, excessive slip and heat.
4.	Red oxide, powdery and chunky	4.	Worn-out and moisture present.
5.	Clumping of flow charge	5.	Moisture present, use stainless flow
			charge.
