5.3.1 Foundation
Properties of the foundation
The foundation must have the following properties:
● Horizontal and level
● Stability
● Designed for torsional rigidity
● Reaction forces from the gear unit must be braced
Requirements of the foundation
The foundation must meet the following requirements:
● Construct the foundation in such a way that it does not generate any resonance vibrations
and that it is isolated against the transmission of vibrations from adjacent foundations.
● Design the foundation according to the relevant weight and torque, taking into account the
forces acting on the gear unit.
● Align the foundation carefully with the equipment installed on the input and output sides of
the gear unit.
In order to guarantee absolute distortion-free operation for a multi-motor drive, ensure that
the motors are absolutely precisely aligned to the gear unit. For distortion-free operation,
it is crucial that the motors run in absolute synchronism.
● Take into account any elastic deformation that may be caused by operating forces.
● Install lateral stops to prevent displacement if external forces are acting on the gear unit.
