Installation Instructions
Series LP
Drilled hole
- The drilled hole must be within the tolerances shown on the dimensional sheets.
- The cone rate 1:12 must be kept as per specification sheet.
- Holes must be round within 0.05 mm.
- With hard materials the bore roughness should be from Rz = 10 - 30 µm. for best results.
- Longitudinal rifles and spiral grooves should be avoided. These influence the sealing effectiveness.
- The bore must be free of oil, grease and chips.
 | | Setting procedure - With the setting hole facing out, the LP plug is inserted in the cone bore. The top sleeve should not be above the surface of the base material.
- The LP plug can now be pressed in with the setting tool. Corresponding approximate values for stroke S are from the table below.
- Installed LP plug.
Note: - Use the proper size setting tool for the KOENIG Expander® according to the data sheet.
- Through washing of the LP plugs before installation, higher setting force might occur.
Press - It is preferred to limit travel when using a press because insertion force is difficult to control.
- Recommended setting speed is 5 mm/sec.
The KOENIG Expander® assuring an optimum orientation, it works perfectly with automatic processing. Plug Removal With KOENIG Expander® LP Series plug removal is possible. The plug can be drilled out with a high speed steel drill. Procedure: - Drill out, in one process, to the next larger diameter, nominal diameter d4 according to the data sheet.
- Drill the taper hole with a reamer up to diameter d3 according to the data sheet.
- Clear chips, remnants of the sleeve, and oil and grease from the bore.
- Install a new KOENIG Expander®.
Note: After plug removal always install the next larger size plug |
