Figure 5. Drive Alignment
WARNING: Check to ensure the
controls for the fan motor are
set to allow a maximum of six
on-off cycles per hour to prevent
motor overload.
Alignment
• Check the drive alignment annually to ensure maximum belt life.
• Drive alignment check and adjustment:
– Place a straight edge across the driver and the driven sheaves as
shown in Figure 5.
– The straight edge should contact all four points as shown in
Figure 5 indicating that the drives are properly aligned.
– There should be no more than 1.5mm deviation from four points
of contact.
– In case of realignment, loosen the motor sheave and align it with
the fan sheave. Allow 6mm for draw-up as the bushing screw is
retightened.
Fan Drive System (Direct Drive Units)
Drive Train
The standard fan motor used
on direct driven units is a
TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air
Over) motor. The motor has
permanently lubricated ball
bearings and special moisture
protection on the bearings,
shaft, and windings. The only
servicing required during
operation is to clean the outside
surface of the motor at least
quarterly to ensure proper
motor cooling. After prolonged
shutdowns, the motor insulation
should be checked with a
“megger” insulation tester
before restarting the motor.
