The elements must be pulled smartly onto the shaft as far as stated on the dimensioned drawing prepared
in accordance with the order.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the gear unit possible through knocking or impacts.
Fit the coupling using suitable fitting equipment.
The shaftsealing rings and running surfaces of the shaft must not be damaged when pulling on the
coupling parts.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the gear unit or single components through incorrect alignment.
When positioning the drive units the instructions for the alignment of the individual components given in
the manuals belonging to the components must be observed.
Inadmissibly large errors in the alignment of the shaft ends to be connected through angular and/or axial
misalignments result in premature wear and material damage.
When using toothed couplings a defined alignment deviation may be required; observe the manual to
the toothed coupling.
Insufficiently rigid base frames or substructures can also during operation cause a radial and/or axial
misalignment, which cannot be measured when the unit is at a standstill.
Note
Gear units with a weight that requires the use of lifting gear must be attached at the points shown in
section 4, "Transport and storage". If the gear unit is to be transported with addon parts, additional
attachment points may be required. The position of these attachment points is shown on the
orderspecific dimensioned drawing.
6.3.2.1 Alignment
Orderspecific machined surfaces (alignment surfaces) are provided on the gearunit top side for
preliminary alignment in horizontal direction.
Alignment surface:
To further facilitate alingment, the gear units are provided with alignment threads in the housing base.
For the exact position of the alignment surfaces, refer to the drawings in the gearunit documentation.
These alignment surfaces are for aligning the gear unit horizontally, in order to ensure correct running of
the gear unit.
Note
The values punched into the alignment surfaces must be observed.
