6.3 Fitting the gear unit
6.3.1 Fitting the gearunit on a housing base
6.3.1.1 Foundation
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage through insufficiently safe positioning of the gear unit.
The foundation must be horizontal and level. The gear unit must not be excessively stressed when
tensioning the fastening bolts.
Fastening bolts and nuts must be tightened to the prescribed tightening torque.
For the correct tightening torque, refer to item 6.19. Bolts of at least strength class 8.8 must be used.
The foundation should be designed in such a way that no resonance vibrations are created and that no
vibrations are transmitted from adjacent foundations. The structure on which the unit is to be fitted must
be rigid. The structure must be designed according to the weight and torque, taking into account the forces
acting on the gear unit.
Align the gear unit carefully with the units on the input and output sides. Take the elastic deformation
through operating forces into consideration.
If external forces are acting upon the gear unit, prevent the unit from displacement by means of lateral
stops.
Note
For dimensions, space requirement and arrangement of supply connections, refer to the drawings in the
gearunit documentation.
